  • 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

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • VikShah Vik (yeah, that one) 💙 (@VikShah) reported

    @timglanfield Very much depends on the price of the service and whether there's anything else on the channel to justify it. If it was included with Prime or Netflix then yes, but maybe not if it's on something naff like BritBox. I'd rather it went to a Freeview channel such as E4.

  • Adelaidesammy Sam (@Adelaidesammy) reported

    @LBC @darrenadam Most of the youngsters I know have given up Freeview channels but kept Netflix. That way they save money and never have to watch Allsopp. Win win

  • DarrylTypeR Darryl (@DarrylTypeR) reported

    @virginmedia hey, quick question, if i cancel my contract do i still get to keep the virgin box? And would i still be able to watch freeview channels through it? Thanks.

  • HjRobins Harry Robins (@HjRobins) reported

    @purpledVodka I hate branded clothing. It’s been a thing I’ve hated ever since I got a spongebob t-shirt for my 8th birthday for no reason, we could never even which spongebob on freeview

  • nichols_tim Lord Worzel Binbag of Custard, Esq. (@nichols_tim) reported

    @nicholsonprop @DavidPoulden Then you and your GBeebie chums can freeload off the rest of us. Who do you thinks pays for the Freeview service GBeebies transmits on?

  • itsmeitsmeandy AM (@itsmeitsmeandy) reported

    @carriewarrie1 @RuthieRehh @JackieSharpe1 if they enter your house and you have a tv that plays freeview channels your telly might be switched off you can tell them you never watch live channels they will still do you for it cause you have equipment

  • TheFunksterFaz Faron Collins (@TheFunksterFaz) reported

    @DaveModculture You need to get one of those recordable Humax freeview boxes. The hard drive on mine is full of films from Talking Pictures that'll I'll never get around to watching.

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @lastminutelin If you are still experiencing problems you will need to speak to the Freeview helpline as the retune should have been all that was needed. Freeview advice line on 03456 505050

  • rowec1 Chris (@rowec1) reported

    @kronosarm @Steveonstradey @fesshole English regions HD need to be on Freeview, FreeSat and Sky. Plus backups. Plus switching at network junction points. Plus upgrading regional studios to HD (cameras, edit, play out). Massive expense for 28 mins at 6:30 and 3 x 6 min bulletins. That, or quality content?

  • Helen_Atchison Helen Atchison (@Helen_Atchison) reported

    @mrchrisaddison You can say all that and yet most people have actually stopped using "freeview" to pay for other channels. Kids ditch cbbc the second they have cartoon network, Disney and nickelodeon. Adults do the same too for other things. They like the choice.
