    @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?

  • 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

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

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

  • 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?

  • 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.

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

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • A5h1984 Ashley Dunscombe-Isaac (@A5h1984) reported

    I have tried clearing the internet memory in the hope it gives the apps a kick but no joy. I don't want to go through the hassle of reinstalling the TV as I have Freeview satellite channels installed with lots of favourites marked. Is there anything else I can do to fix this

  • ParmaleeWes WesParmalee (@ParmaleeWes) reported

    @TheDoctor2058 @arqiva My experience is that they never ever respond to people here...but perhaps they will DM you. I'd suggest calling the Freeview number for advice if you dint hear back over the weekend. Hope that helps.

  • king4856 Paul King (@king4856) reported

    @FreeviewTV Great news for those who can get any channels still zero at YO624LE and I read in the paper it could be two months before a signal is relayed from Bilsdale : you at freeview should hang your heads in shame 😡😡😡

  • steelclogs Mr Mick NL 🇳🇱 (@steelclogs) reported

    @AlarmBell You could download @euronews Al Jazeera is about the best. I subscribe to De Stentor and De Telegraaf for the local & national news, BBC1 & BBC2 come free with my KPN package. I can watch all the Freeview channels but it's all game shows and recycled 80s crap.

  • A5h1984 Ashley Dunscombe-Isaac (@A5h1984) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi Anne. Thanks for the input but I don't believe whether or not it's connected to the aerial is the issue here as it's a group of apps that are affected not just the Freeview one. If the Freeview app was opening ok but then saying it needs an update then I would borrow one

  • teweybear Sharon Tew (@teweybear) reported

    Any tv tech savvy bids on here? Parents tv is badly pixelating channels through digi-box but fine through Freeview. Replaced box and leads and tried a signal blocking filter with no success. Any ideas? #bt #techsupport

  • JustifyMySoul JustifyMySoul🇬🇧 (@JustifyMySoul) reported

    @SherrieHewson @Jamitay1977 then its Freeview thats to blame, its signal now its moved it s**t.... gov made it move chanel for 5g - mine pixalating all the time!
