  • PaulW_1 Paul Williams✈️ (@PaulW_1) reported from Sale, England

    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

  • MaryMares81 mary whitfield (@MaryMares81) reported from Salford, England

    @KarmaUnc @GMB @joshwiddicombe Yes, but the BBC is a significant contributor to Arquiva who own the masts. They also support Freeview and Freesat.

  • annmurphy_wigan Ann Murphy (@annmurphy_wigan) reported from Wigan, England

    @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • lewstringer Lew Stringer, Cartoonist (@lewstringer) reported

    @DavidinKent @MerielMyers Those papers never seem to go into much detail about the programmes though like the Radio Times does. I'm not sure if they cover all the Freeview channels or radio.

  • willcooling Will Cooling (@willcooling) reported

    Stuck in a hotel with only freeview. Jesus Christ the questions as on Newsnight are insultingly stupid. Just pure horse race stuff rather than looking at the philosophical or practical arguments

  • lookoutwales2 Gareth Joy (@lookoutwales2) reported

    @StevenSaul @carollowe98 Apparently, Manchester TV (run by the former Made group) has disappeared off Freeview. Wouldn't be surprised if it's closed outright - it's a wonder to think the city could support two small local licences after what happened with Channel M.

  • dudmad David Dudman (@dudmad) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice is their issues with Freeview signals from Mendip transmitter? Live in BA2 area and lost all signals on Sat 18th, also down today 19th Dec. Tried to retune both LG TV's and no channels found.

  • StevenGothard Steven Gothard (@StevenGothard) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @S66Cams @ellabellajolie @sashalouise__x I've lost studio 66 on freeview can you help please

  • Upinthewilds Upinthewilds (@Upinthewilds) reported

    @FreeviewCorp hi what's going on with freeview tonight please? Watching #strictly and signal disappeared and lost all channels. In N Wales but aerial pointing winter hill way... #help

  • EdgyNathan Nathan Edgy (@EdgyNathan) reported

    Watching Dante’s Peak for the first time. I recorded it to my freeview box a couple of years ago and just never got around to watching it

  • L_Dibbs L. Dibbs (@L_Dibbs) reported

    @novacosmetics2 @FreeviewTV Well that is a good plus side! Each time I retune my freeview, which isn't that often, I lose 1 or 2 channels and never get them back!

  • Taffyagent Cathryn Summerhayes (@Taffyagent) reported

    @benpester Now this is a heartbreaking one because a) we were booked to go to singalong on Monday and had to cancel b) you can’t freeview it anywhere - I have paid but it means you can’t keep watching on repeat #nocheesesforusmeeces

  • tinopener1 tinopener (@tinopener1) reported

    @AyoCaesar Too busy watching GB News (freeview 236). Did you see Ken Livingstone on GB News last week? He reckons we should have stayed in lockdown since March 2020 until we had zero covid, and borrow to support business. You like that, don't you?
