  • XtopherCalvert Christmas Calvert (he/him) (@XtopherCalvert) reported from Poplar, England

    Question for arts people. We don’t use Freeview as our signal is much more reliable using Apple TV through our internet connection. Is there a way I can get @SkyArts via Apple TV?

  • Dante_Banks Danté Banks (@Dante_Banks) reported from Tottenham, England

    @tinytwink The poor shouldn't have anything they have to work for. Big screen TV - nope. Netflix - what's wrong with Freeview? Mobile phone - can't they walk to the phone box on the corner that was disconnected five years ago. They think if you're poor you should suffer or not be poor.

  • Stroudgreenguy J. Alfred Prufrock (@Stroudgreenguy) reported from Tottenham, England

    @Channel4 Hello. Can I watch Channel 4 *live* through the All 4 app on smart TV? All I see is catchup. I would like to watch CH 4 news every night but my aerial is broken, no Freeview. Please advise.

    With all this wall to wall coverage crap of a dead man by @skynews and @bbcnews Netflix and Freeview's viewing figures must be the highest they've ever been.

  • MartinC93414706 Martin (@MartinC93414706) reported from Lambeth, England

    @channel5_tv is the worst for catch up tv via your app or freeview. Just can’t find programmes sometimes. Trying to find Sally Lindsays posh sleepover. C4, itv and BBC never ever have a problem with. I give up with C5

    @GeorgeBollands @gemoore83 @BBCSport Ok… I have Now tv so don’t think I can get that but I’ll have a look. My regular freeview is crap as I don’t have an aerial, only have internet streamed TV.

  • PurpleDon1973 MadameCholet (@PurpleDon1973) reported from Ilford, England

    Some days I really wish I'd kept all those calls to @JimDavisOnAir on my freeview box. I've been sent way back in time with a USB memory stick, a few years back with some calls. Damn, I really miss those days with the song choice and #JimDavisLive And it was just brilliant radio

  • JEFFREY03296741 JEFFREY PHILLIPS (@JEFFREY03296741) reported from Brentford, England

    @TalkingPicsTV Hello. Watching at about 4.35 pm on Monday 24th the Sky TV picture was completely lost from your channel and went off air. All other channels were fine. Also okay on Freeview but I missed the end of the film. At 4.48 pm it is still without a, signal. What's up?

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • StuartsVoices Stuart (@StuartsVoices) reported

    @jinxyjane1960 @BBCNews Incredibly naïve comment. I realise not everyone will see tough times, but this is going to cause all kinds of problems. Even me on my £8 mobile contract and Freeview. I don't see it as unpopular, I see it as something that has no idea what many will face.

  • djbwells Darren Wells (@djbwells) reported

    @SimonJeremyMil1 @ThatsTVOfficial Same down in the South of Uk. We watch on satellite but would be handy to get it on freeview

  • don_mac D Mac (@don_mac) reported

    @hairychesters Our only saving grace is that its on Freeview 785 or something - no ****** watches it all the Gammons have to wade through 5 channels of WW2 docs and Bargain hunt to get to it the temptation to never reach it is too high!

  • joonloons june lewins (@joonloons) reported

    @basestacking Check Freeview for the terrestrial channels in your area, and retune a couple of times to see if you get more stations. I use a Humax and smart tv so I can record TV programmes, but you should be able to just plug it into your tv. I find non-HD progs get a better signal.

  • Sputnikchaser Sputnik (@Sputnikchaser) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Good morning. No Freeview service at LL65 2LL. Is this a general problem in the area?

  • McCartneyHarvey Harvey 🇬🇧🇺🇦 (@McCartneyHarvey) reported

    Why isn’t the match on Freeview? **** you @SkySports, you really love to ruin sports. England matches should be free to watch #ENGCIV

  • cmh0000 Christine (@cmh0000) reported

    Anyone in Guernsey having problems with Freeview?

  • MapleFiltered Gruffalo Trace ❤️🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦❤️ (@MapleFiltered) reported

    @4Viewers evening, are you having issues with All4 on Freeview play? Not appearing at all on the catch-up services list or the apps page. Working ok last night, nothing changed with TV

  • actiontiff John F Austin GCE "Eng Lang. 0 level" A* (@actiontiff) reported

    @jacquihughes17 @Spiritofgaia0 Is it that good ?? When there is Freeview, Youtube & box sets My son signed me up to Netflix/Prime but I can honestly say I have never watched either & I certainly will not since they started paying Chocolate & Ginger millions for doing Zilch

  • gildy61 Random Jottings of Gildersleeve (@gildy61) reported

    @did_40 @lomelindi12 Can you both listen to the repeat of Health Check on the World Service at 1.30pm online via smart speaker, sounds, on DAB, Freeview? A very big feature on MS which seems to offer hope and it does seem reliable what they talk about it.
