  • 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?

    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.

  • 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

  • flowergirl_lon Sam (Flower Girl) Jennings (@flowergirl_lon) reported from Croydon, England

    @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.

  • 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

  • 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?

  • UB5simon Simon Bye 🐟🔶 (@UB5simon) reported from Southall, England

    All those **** channels on Freeview and it's BBC News HD that gets the chop 🤔

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • WarGit Lord WarGit, a Tom Nook subsidiary (@WarGit) reported

    Public Service Announcement: In ten minutes time, the Paramount Network (UK freeview) is going to be showing "Exit Wounds", a 2001 Steven Seagal film that your instincts and remaining sanity would scream at you must surely be awful but which is, in fact, extremely good.

  • Dave22552702 Hullpup (@Dave22552702) reported

    @MontagueTerrie Probably best to talk about it before 11 then watch it on the Freeview adult channels. Masturxxte then fall asleep. Then start worrying about the whole Covid **** and how the Govt.wants to cull us in the morning.

  • ChiefScrobbler Chief Scrobbler ✝️ (@ChiefScrobbler) reported

    The 2005 film 'Kingdom of Heaven' is currently on Freeview ch33. The times I've seen this but never in its entirety! I always seem to find it by accident and end up watching a big chunk of it.

  • tramac1964 Traceymac1964 (@tramac1964) reported

    @mulvey_adam Doesn't surprise me seeing as the Xmas channels turn up on Freeview in October every year without fail!

  • richyri42387565 richyrich (@richyri42387565) reported

    @TRUMANHUMAN2020 Ironically the RT channel you can watch on Freeview has good and honest coverage of Assange...Who are the bad guys? Obvious answer🇬🇧🇺🇸

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @SarahLoudon1 @PacerCommander There is also a Freeview advice line on 03456 505050 if you continue to have problems.

  • HKT3030 Nick "Concrete Farmer" Thorpe (@HKT3030) reported

    At one point, I was so into Doctor Who that I bought a Freeview box just so I could watch Torchwood on BBC Three, but I fell off after Matt Smith's first series. I've seen a Christmas special or two since and tried a Capaldi episode, but I never managed to get back into it.

  • LGUK LG UK (@LGUK) reported

    @lulu02608 Hi Louise, unfortunately LG and Digital UK were unable to reach an agreement for a Freeview Play device in time for the rollout of LG’s 2020 TV range, and this is why our 2020 models don't support the All4 app. (1/3)

  • SimonTemplarGB Sebastian Tombs 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🏴‍☠️ (@SimonTemplarGB) reported

    @VeryGameGirl @pensionmonkey Yes, never-ending! Classic drama on Freeview etc.

  • seaghanMK Seaghán🥊🎭 (@seaghanMK) reported

    @a516digital @BBC Thanks done all this. As I have exactly the same issues with BBC FOUR HD on a freesat box (itv/bbc type) which runs off a different dish and on a different tv I really don’t think on this occasion it’s me or my equipment. SD fine. Freeview HD also fine. All other channels ok.
