Freeview Outage in Ashford, Surrey, England

I will never have normal freeview tv

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

@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

@njvns That’s so shit. It’s literally called freeview and yet it’s not free

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

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!

@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😡

@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.

@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.

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.

@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.

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

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

Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

@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.

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

@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

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

@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 👍

Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

I'll probably keep the USB stick I purchased yesterday but am looking at the hard drives not being used with computers down and see if one can be attached to the freeview recorder to increase the amount of memory I can record TV programmes too. OTOH with another USB stick that's>

@ArchRose90 Stupid question Chris - how can one view GB News? Or am I just being monumentally thick. Looked on YouTube but nothing. Is it on Freeview?

...and there's not many TVs out there that do support Channel List Management (was only introduced to specs last year). So perhaps a feature to look out for the next time you are buying a Freeview Play TV.

(Existing channels are exempt for this rule though). The green light follows a consultation that took place between November & January. However, only a small number of Freeview Play devices will support these developments: your TV or box needs to support Channel List Management.

@TaliaMar i was too broke to afford sky freeview was (and still is) the ****

Me who was going to be out no than 10am...almost three hours later. Messing around with the Freeview recorder. Seeing signal strength change every time you retune 😠and sometimes when you don't. It does look as though I need to buy a USB stick to allow any recording.

The BBC, ITV and Channel 4 have jointly announced plans to integrate the terrestrial television service Freeview operated by Digital UK with Freesat, the satellite television service available without subscription.

@SKYNZ Food Network no more?? What next?? Looks like we are off to get Freeview and will watch rugby at the pub. For years you have reduced your offering and packages and I have put up with it. No more. Goodbye 👋

@stephenfry Try telling SONY! The NEVER subtitle ANY of their films on Sky/Freeview. N E V E R
