Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Balham and nearby locations:

  • 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.

  • fishinthedark1 fishinthedark (@fishinthedark1) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @PayneB44 @tomhfh @BBC Your point was you want a break from it. There’s 1000s of channels, Freeview, YouTube, Sky, NOWTV, Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, BRITBOX DVDs, Blu-rays. Boxsets. There’s never been so much content to take your mind off it. Or just turn the telly off.

  • JensFallesen Jens Fallesen (@JensFallesen) reported from Hounslow, England

    @leksi_p Correct. If you do not have Freeview, Sky or Virgin (or any other cable service), you should not need to pay if you never watch it.

  • shoxtl2 Carl (@shoxtl2) reported from Croydon, England

    @MyHydeHome @SCCIAlphatrack Not even sure how that's possible there's no record anyways over the weekend we lost signal for the communal aerial it has become very weak very pixelated can pick up the Freeview HD channels

  • Scare158Steve Scarebear (@Scare158Steve) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @bt_uk Thanks for the help. I spoke to freeview, tried a few things which didn't work but i contacted your TV help and after doing a few basic things somehow it appears to be working now! Very Strange. Tks

  • daguvernor tommy harper (@daguvernor) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia once again trying to contact virgin media is a no go a proper waste of time contract has run out trying to cancel they have put the money up to £60 a month for basically 2 freeview boxes I have cancelled my direct debit which is due on the 7 april what a scam😡

  • omotforest david sinfield #pssc (@omotforest) reported from West Molesey, England

    To be honest, when you've removed the dependency of other real time tv, i cant see many people chipping in. Many will be paying just to watch their subscription service or Freeview.

  • Tommy_M_E_J Tom Jordan (@Tommy_M_E_J) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @njvns That’s so shit. It’s literally called freeview and yet it’s not free

  • nessymon Nessy 😷 (@nessymon) reported from London, England

    @MarketaDee @CNN Freeview has never worked for us for some reason.. will try again. Thanks.

  • PlexNetflix Martin Phillp 🔶 (@PlexNetflix) reported from Camberwell, England

    My broadband has gone down, so stuck watching QVC on Freeview.

  • AStrangerJ A.j. Stranger #UTAG (@AStrangerJ) reported from Bromley, England

    On the Freeview “REALLY” channel at 9pm, “Who Killed Jeffery Epstein?”. I’ve never seen it before, but I bet the answers not Jeffrey Epstein.

  • RegenerateAndy Andy Smith (@RegenerateAndy) reported from Wandsworth, England

    Channel ‘Pick’ on freeview. Never heard of it before but grateful for it tonight #chelsea

  • niklasRen Nik Rahmel (@niklasRen) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @Stephen_Neal Good shout! If we just take the Freeview/Freesat ones, we get to ten, excluding the National ones: 1) BBC One 2) BBC Two 3) BBC Four 4) CBBC 5) CBeebies 6) BBC News 7) BBC Parliament 8) Dave 9) Drama 10) Yesterday But they aren’t licence fee funded, so don’t help the argument.

  • vjlorenzato Victoria Lorenzato (@vjlorenzato) reported from Brentford, England

    Catholic Twitter UK- help please! Anyone know of a Mass being broadcast on TV tomorrow ( not via internet) Lovely elderly lady has Freeview but no internet.... TIA!

  • themib Martin Bentley, AKA Martin Bentley (@themib) reported from London, England

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

  • coulson3000 Hank Moody (@coulson3000) reported from Kensington, England

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • EranE1980 Eran Edry (@EranE1980) reported from Camden Town, England

    @FreeviewAdvice hi there. Please see DMs sent to Freeview account asking for support with channels that don't show (weird D sign with \ on it next to them) including Sky News, Pick and others. Many thanks

  • Beige29 DarkBeige (@Beige29) reported from Merton, England

    Now I have the truly truly shit @EE freeview package (literally the worst selection of channels on earth but boy is it cheap broadband) I only watch the main 5 channels or SVOD. W, Dave, ITV2 etc are dead to me

  • 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?

  • crazycol Colin Wiseman (@crazycol) reported from Ealing, England

    @stevieboywise If that’s Freeview maybe due to high pressure issue again.

  • merseytart Scott (@merseytart) reported

    Another hotel, another auto tune of the TV to get an up to date Freeview channel list. I should charge for this service.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital What's needed however is to change the technology used and support a better system, such as DVB T2. I don,t see streaming as a threat to freeview or freesat for that matter. As , the title says it's free. Streaming is all paid for. Just ask my neighbours!.

  • StevenNT Steven Jones (@StevenNT) reported

    @Mark56623345 @a516digital for me the communal dish is 90cm and on the roof as part of the Communal Integrated Reception system so exposed to the rain when it really does throw it down and lose sat reception for a short period so I fall back to Freeview option for a bit on that one

  • tapper82 Tapper82 (@tapper82) reported

    @pvfc_carol Hi can you help out pleas. Since the BBC are now broadcasting the PVFC games over Freeview I can no longer injoi the Vale games. I am blind and use my radio to know what's going on when in the ground.

  • B_W_Marshall OldStravonian (@B_W_Marshall) reported

    @andylondon Think it’s Sky. Dunno. They have loads of freeview channels with guff on a loop. Most of it sucks.

  • garyhaywardcom Gary Hayward (@garyhaywardcom) reported

    Can't wait for my new TV roof aerial to arrive. Nothing to do with the #Bilsdale outage; never been able to get all the Freeview channels with my current, ancient one. #BilsdaleFire

  • GarethNegus Gareth Negus (@GarethNegus) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi. Are there any issues with the Mendip transmitter at the moment? Our Freeview reception has been dreadful for several days now.

  • CharlieandNige Nige & Charlie in Cornwall 🏳️‍🌈 (@CharlieandNige) reported

    @FreeviewTV Curious to know in the good old days here in Gorran Haven with analogue TV we might only of had 3/4 channels. Now with Freeview in certain weather conditions we get poor or no signal for days. We can retune and get French channels Can anything be done to resolve it?

  • StevenNT Steven Jones (@StevenNT) reported

    @Mark56623345 @a516digital I'm currently a Sky Q customer as it's what I have at my new build apartment, Freeview and Freesat don't quite fit my uses but for as a basic level it's not too bad and fall back to Freeview when very severe rain hiders reception

  • joejglenton The Great Keithulhu (@joejglenton) reported

    'Serving the colours' chat belongs with guff about the 'Queen's shilling': consigned to **** period drama. Meaningless waffle. If you talked like that in the Mob, you'd be laughed at. The market for that tripe is Walter Mitty civilians with a cockstand for WW2 docs on Freeview.
