    @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

  • 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

  • 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

  • Beige29 Beige (@Beige29) reported from Merton, England

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

  • 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

  • Marmalord Marmalord (the) (@Marmalord) reported from Epsom and Ewell District, England

    @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

  • 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😡

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @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 👍

  • 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!

  • Beige29 Dark_Beige (@Beige29) reported from Merton, England

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  • budgie Lee 'Budgie' Barnett (@budgie) reported from Richmond, England

    @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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • themib Martin Bentley, AKA Martin Bentley (@themib) reported from London, England

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

  • 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.

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

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

    @FlissWolf @E4Tweets It also depends on how and where you’re watching. I understand Freeview viewers may be seeing the broken feed in certain areas, while satellite and cable are on the back up. Watching catch up content on All4 is fine, it’s just the live streams that are showing the broken feeds.

  • lgladdy Liam (@lgladdy) reported

    @willsandry I’m watching on actual TV/Freeview. They’re still not right after the Red Bee fire/oxygen suppression system issues over the weekend. I think they must be broadcasting on backup systems.

  • MixedRaceSpur Andrew (@MixedRaceSpur) reported

    @peter_perfect_ Oh big problem Saturday night affecting Four and Five and its sister channels. No sound, channels disappearing or static. I’ve never seen anything like it in the digital era. Freeview suffered worst.

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

    (/2) ...you risk losing your Sky EPG slot, at least temporarily. Note that E4+1 is showing an off air caption on Freeview, but it's running normally on satellite. If it was the other way, there would be trouble.

  • willmgreenhalgh William Greenhalgh (@willmgreenhalgh) reported

    @CassLennox Funny thing is only channel 4 works on all 4 right now the other live channels are dead also ita due to complicated reasons woth how thr signal is transmitted to freeview cable and satellite its all messed up still

  • Nolascana Mitani Hart (@Nolascana) reported

    @redial999 @MayerAgain @tvlicensing * I am aware of freeview, but frankly that service is shockingly bad in some areas, to the point where BBC itself isn't available in bad weather, which, frankly defeats the point. On a good day there's like...8 channels broadcast from tower the aerial is pointed at.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital Everyone I know at work who still uses DTT to access freeview have some sort of problem over the last few weeks, and they all seem centred on COM 7. I know it's not staying much longer, but I wonder if EEs New masts sprouting up everywhere is something to it.

  • Joe__Monty Joe (@Joe__Monty) reported

    Is anyone's Freeview still not working in Teesside? Getting ridiculous now.

  • FB_BMB Mathew Buck (@FB_BMB) reported

    I do feel sorry for Channel 4, who 2 days after the Red Bee fire evacuation that caused catastrophic falls off the air for a number of UK channels, still have technical issues: the audio on the HD Freeview version sounds like it has been inverted and playing in the wrong speakers

  • knit1slip1psso Plane Jane 🇪🇺 (@knit1slip1psso) reported

    @mojomarconi The problem is sweetheart you are not in Europe. We can only get Freeview through a third party. Freesat footprint, since the new Satellite doesn’t reach places it used to reach. BritBox is not available in Portugal, although I would be happy to subscribe. 😭🤬
