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

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

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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!

  • maggieinlondon Maggie - wear a mask 💙🏳️‍🌈🌱 (@maggieinlondon) reported from Wandsworth, England

    With all this wall to wall coverage crap of a dead man by @skynews and @bbcnews Netflix and Freeview's viewing figures must be the highest they've ever been.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • PlexNetflix Martin Phillp 🔶 (@PlexNetflix) reported from Camberwell, England

    My broadband has gone down, so stuck watching QVC on 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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😡

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • BarnsH Barn (@BarnsH) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice You see @GBNEWS it’s a post code lottery with Freeview , whose shareholders are BBC and ITV. The divide in service is appalling years since digital switchover and they don’t care to improve. Make your own app please!

  • moggie1984 Cat (@moggie1984) reported

    @timmyjpb Thanks Tim! I did see that but I just fail to understand with all the channels on Freeview you still have to subscribe (even for a free trial) to just watch one programme! Maybe that’s just me...?

  • AllsGood6 Loquitur (@AllsGood6) reported

    @DefundBBC Wouldn’t watch the BBC even they made it Freeview, one of the best decisions I made to cancel my TV license

  • BarnsH Barn (@BarnsH) reported

    @FreeviewTV @meikleholm1 Yes many folks not able to watch @GBNEWS because of Freeview cut down service . The post code lottery over who gets free tv.

  • JulianRadbourne Julian Radbourne (@JulianRadbourne) reported from Cromer, England

    @dramachannel Will the first episode of series 5 of Waiting for God be on the catch-up service? Can't find it on either Sky+ or Freeview.

  • leftyBrighton Lefty from Brighton (@leftyBrighton) reported from Hove, England

    @BBCNews I for one won't be retuning my Freeview for this crap.

  • robertw1690 🇬🇧🇬🇧 🗣 Robbie Wilson 🗣 🇬🇧🇬🇧 (@robertw1690) reported

    @GBNEWS FFS... GB News will air on channel 236 for Freeview and YouView viewers, station 216 on Freesat, as well as being broadcast across Sky, Virgin Media and through a dedicated on-demand streaming service.

  • Philipbutcher1 Philip butcher (@Philipbutcher1) reported from Reading, England

    @GBNEWS Is anybody else having signal issues on Freeview channel 236? The signal is weaker than all the other news channels.

  • _Monty200_ Monty200💚☮🦆🌍✨ (@_Monty200_) reported

    @persiarainn I think I heard of that too which is really abusive and horrible to do, especially towards a child actor. I remember Pop too (but we didn't even have that on freeview and was introduced to that when my sibling got sky freesat upstairs) and got into that channel before (1)

  • JulianRadbourne Julian Radbourne (@JulianRadbourne) reported from Cromer, England

    @UKTVPlay Will the first episode of series 5 of Waiting for God be on the catch-up service? Can't find it on either Sky+ or Freeview.
