  • PaulW_1 Paul Williams✈️ (@PaulW_1) reported from Sale, England

    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

  • thelobsterboy Paul Smith (@thelobsterboy) reported from Manchester, England

    I love these Freeview updates. Each time I rescan the television I seem to lose additional channels! I'm down to QVC, Free Sports and That's 70s and it's only 3pm!

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    @EvanD @cleanfeed_ttvr @Channel4 It is. C4 usually carry two subtitle feeds. One teletext feed and one DVB subtitle feeds. Sky boxes still support teletext (even if subtitles is the only application left) Freesat devices support DVB subtitles only (same as Freeview incidentally).

  • EddieRobson Eddie Robson (1969 Glyn Johns Mix) (@EddieRobson) reported

    @prkirkley We never get those here! Not sure why but we only get about 90% of Freeview on our transmitter, so there are a few channels we don't get (CBeebies HD and Freesports too). Maybe they're also the most likely to go down elsewhere?

  • shambo1ic shambolic (@shambo1ic) reported from Bowling, Scotland

    @kentindell Tbh every time I turn on my LG it asks if I want to programme channels. I have no antenna connected. I use it for streaming and Sky so never needed freeview etc. not so smart smart Tv

  • grahamm30392424 graham montgomery (@grahamm30392424) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam @praburamswamy So does this tv have built in Freeview digital via RF so you can watch it if you cancel subscription

  • SamAHarvey Sam Harvey (@SamAHarvey) reported

    @pjgoodman @HammerGothic Have still never seen it 🤦🏻 Don’t have Freeview so can’t join in 😭

  • MaJules64 MaJules (@MaJules64) reported

    @jasonpeacock8 @arqiva Compensation for what? A service you don't even pay for in the first place, you don't pay for Freeview, the clue is in the name. As you have Virgin Media you still have access to live TV so are not due any sort of refund.

  • MsJinnifer JinnynotJenny (@MsJinnifer) reported

    @maryfordneal You don't need a box for Netflix. Freeview connection (via aerial) normally comes set up in the TV. Some TVs do Freesat instead, and they get the signal from a dish. You don't need to subscribe to anything to get Freesat or Freeview. 'Catchup' of main channels free via apps on TV

  • autisticlyaaron Aaron Williams They/Them ♠️💛💜🤍🖤♠️🏳️‍🌈🔶 (@autisticlyaaron) reported

    @JoGoldsmithE @charliclement_ Think for GBBO on the All 4 streaming platform time to come to be able to get it on Sky, Freesat, Freeview and stuff like that which is terrible

  • LibbyKerensky Libby Hudson (@LibbyKerensky) reported

    @SianJasper I only do Freeview but it’s interesting what’s shown and what isn’t. I have never seen Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing. I recently watched a documentary on Black Hollywood - never even heard of half of the films.

  • MrWheeliebin Mike Edie (@MrWheeliebin) reported

    What has happened to Film4 on FreeView? Garbage low bit rate video compression. Everything looks like Lego.
