  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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.

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

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

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

    @loudouglas75 I have such shit freeview I only have itv2+1

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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😡

  • 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

  • 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.

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • RDiz82 Dizzle🇳🇱 (@RDiz82) reported

    @virginmedia This is only part of the problem(s) here, they advised that a manager would call me back immediately, I last spoke to them on 1st May, once we knew we were getting charged £75 per month for Freeview. I really don't want to speak to an agent, I want a phone call from a manager

  • veinmire 【V】is still here (@veinmire) reported

    "What's happening" ***** if I wanted to always know other people's interpretation of "what's happening" I wouldn't need the internet for that. I'd just chain myself to freeview television. No one is supposed to absorb this much ****, it's bad for your goddamn mind.

  • PiecesofH8 David#Rowdy Roddy's Raybans (@PiecesofH8) reported

    If they're on the telly box, and given a freeview channel. Yep, just more *****. It's sanctioned viewing isn't it, not maverick. Reeled you in to turn you. Talk Radio and Gb news. Oh do **** off.

  • ajacksost Alan Jackson’s Worldview (@ajacksost) reported from Bristol, England

    @MarkC0011 @brianmoore666 Absolutely. It’s channel 237 on Freeview. Who in Britain scrolls to a channel anywhere that far down?

  • michelleonthes1 michelleonthescrapheap (@michelleonthes1) reported

    As we see, people are letting their Netflix accounts go, probably for economic purposes - don't forget to call up Sky & whittle down your package, especially if you're a long-term customer who's never done so - point it out to them. Or you could downgrade from Sky to a Freeview..

  • DawnieR2 🇬🇧#BackBoris🇬🇧 (@DawnieR2) reported

    @BILDERBERG_GP @rosiewright99 I agree, watch it at home FreeSat - no problems, come to caravan and watch Freeview - dreadful lip sync....all other channels however, are fine!!

  • BJsussex Barbara (@BJsussex) reported

    @FreeviewTV can’t. Get freeview this morning is there a problem ?

  • an_dy_moo_dy ACRᵍᵐ - (Accidental Carriage Return) (@an_dy_moo_dy) reported

    @TalkTV Typed the wrong number into Freeview, lasted 3 minutes. Terrible

  • joan_ant192 Joan Anthony (@joan_ant192) reported

    @revoltinghippie @80_mcswan Euronews is not too bad but can be a bit boring (freeview 271)

  • willhadcroft Will Hadcroft (@willhadcroft) reported

    @thepen_thesword Moon Embracing the Sun, yes, I recall that title. Another one she loved was Crash Landing On You. We're not subscribed to anything other than British Freeview channels and Netflix. I've never heard of Viki!
