  • budgie Lee 'Budgie' Barnett (@budgie) reported from Richmond, England

    @DrRacheal @FreeviewTV When I had problems with Freeview, I found their helpline - when I eventually managed to get through to someone - very helpful. Took me step-by-step through the stuff I could check and solved it for me.

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

    @Disco_Squirrel I’ve got the shitty EE freeview box and it’s one of the apps on there, but never used

  • 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.

  • 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.

    @FreeviewAdvice I’ve been experiencing a lot of poor quality imaging/interruptions of my freeview in my area, Chingford, London. Also I’ve been able to DM you and I’m not sure why the system is not enabling it. It doesn’t bring up your company when I try

  • 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

  • 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!

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

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

  • 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

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

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

  • 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

  • Marmalord Marmalord (the) (@Marmalord) reported from Epsom and Ewell District, England

    @itvhub Humax FVP-4000T 1TB Freeview Set Top Box Recorder, and having to sign in more or less every time is making us all dislike Martin Freeman

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

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

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @LushJEL I'm not much of a TV person as I don't really like it, but I found channel 83 on Freeview TV which is NOW The 80s, so some nights I just have it on in the background, lots of crap but also some good old ones 👍

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • HughSykes Hugh Sykes (@HughSykes) reported

    @producerjoe On my Freeview list it's with the other HD channels right down before the radio stations. And you can get to it quicker if you scroll up from BBC 1 and past the radio channels..

  • AdeBamber Ade Bamber (@AdeBamber) reported

    @FreeviewTV when will freeview get with the times and get rid of sd and go hd I am lucky to have a qled tv but sd is awful

  • NOWHelpTeam NOW Help Team (@NOWHelpTeam) reported

    @petew2804 Hi Peter, Whether you've got a Smart Box with Freeview or a Smart Box with 4K and Voice Search, you'll find the reset button on the bottom of your Box. For a factory reset, hold the button down for about 6 seconds.

  • peaceprone ~🔱∆t //ØçÑ🕊️ (@peaceprone) reported

    @FrancesCook Forcing the culture clash will be entertaining in itself. I think the issue is that tv is a dead dog, and video content providers can focus on just that, producing content. But free www, not freeview

  • Kewjonrichard wife seeker (@Kewjonrichard) reported

    @roger44 @FreeviewTV Wow 3 hours no signal in Swindon what do we get let me tell you. No apology. No explanation. No idea when freeview returns. Total silence. Maybe you need better staff. Better customer service and maybe a new brand, I suggest you try crap tv it's discriptiveand and true. 🤔

  • ttandfinn Thru Thick & Finn (@ttandfinn) reported

    @somefinnspecial So I've checked out Sky Arts in the UK. If u are a Sky customer you can download or watch back the CH doc. Keep your eyes peeled for a repeat on freeview. Certainly nothing I can see in next 7 days 🧐

  • AmyTeamLH Amy (@AmyTeamLH) reported

    Thankfully I have access to the Sky Sports Action and Mix channels but this sucks for people who want to watch it on Freeview. Oh well.

  • MarkAPD43 Mark (@MarkAPD43) reported

    @SamuelJJack2 Food Network is the only decent channel on Freeview, what happened to Diners, Drive-ins and Dives?

  • auto_tech_pilot caroline mckenzie (@auto_tech_pilot) reported

    @daztraction @smokeybarkid Which is fine while Sky Arts is still on Freeview, a problem when that (inevitably) stops...

  • Kewjonrichard wife seeker (@Kewjonrichard) reported

    @FreeviewTV @JimIrvineUK Following is email to sky news:Like hundreds in Swindon and others in UK at 2130 we lost freeview signal  we just are left with screen saying no signal there is no news or update with freeview  I attempted to retune and programs break up till you get no signal messege.
