Freeview Issues Reports Near Balham, England

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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😡

  • 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.

  • 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!

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

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

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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

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

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • LorryLocket Lorrie (@LorryLocket) reported

    @virginmedia absolute joke, customer for 20+ yrs, informed services have had a price increase from £99 to £147, rang up to change services to reduce costs, best they can do is Freeview for £89?! Person I spoke to unhelpful and uninterested 🤯

  • mkalexroy641 Marc Alec (@mkalexroy641) reported

    @NadineDorries Not much of a restriction, it's still available on Freeview which most people have. Close it down completely.

  • PATVOne1 P.A.T.V. Scunthorpe (@PATVOne1) reported

    @steveeld101 @SkyNews It's a tricky one, as it's legally innocent until proven guilty, until Ofcom says they've broken the rules, RT is classed as being impartial, so if Sky (or Freeview) were to remove "an impartial channel" for being biased, they'd be the ones breaking the impartiality rule.

  • sifposting Gary (@sifposting) reported

    @NadineDorries Can literally still watch it on Freeview. ******* idiot.

  • letstalkcycling G Hofman (@letstalkcycling) reported

    @CalumLonie @SendRaces @writebikerepeat yes issue in 2021 was not only was it now on eurosport (rather than freeview channel l'equipe) but also they put alot of it online/app only so even with channel it often wasn't on

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    Sometimes I have to laugh & wonder. BARB (broadcasting audience research board). I'm being asked if I want to be part of the 54,000 households to be asked about a range of issues" Me? One of over a million who lost Freeview for 6 months and had no "broadcasting"... Oh **** yes

  • DameBucket Dame Edna Bucket (@DameBucket) reported

    @NadineDorries Still on Freeview and internet. Are you going to have those outlets closed down too you buffoon?

  • PATVOne1 P.A.T.V. Scunthorpe (@PATVOne1) reported

    @JillStuart17 While it is currently under investigation by Ofcom to decide whether it has broken the impartiality rule, RT still holds a valid licence to broadcast, so cannot be removed by Freeview (or Sky), otherwise they'd be the ones breaking Ofcom's code.

  • JoeClitherow Joe Clitherow (@JoeClitherow) reported

    @Agar5588 @NadineDorries I think that's different to the satellite source being taken down. Sky or Freeview could have acted unilaterally to block broadcast, whereas satellite block removed the option
