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

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

    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 😂

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • PhilipMichaelC2 Philip Michael Chapman (@PhilipMichaelC2) reported from Croydon, England

    @PanasonicUK I have Panasonic Viera TV set now the Sony Crime Channel on Freeview channel 40 has moved to channel 60 but when I click on 60 all I get is Loading Interactive Service then the screen goes blank can you help me please or send an engineer

  • 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😡

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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 👍

  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 1FatKev Kevin Killoran (@1FatKev) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia really poor show all TV channels drop out just as the snooker semifinal is about to finish #freeview why not.

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

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

  • 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

  • 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

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

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

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • E17Observatory Walthamstow Observatory (@E17Observatory) reported

    Hi @plex, Seasons Greetings to you all. I'm looking to add a USB TV device to my @NVIDIASHIELD, I'd prefer to use Freesat as it's better quality than Freeview but @HauppaugeHQ say you don't support DVB-S - is this likely to change anytime soon - especially as DVB-T is at risk?

  • fjcruiserdxb Patricia T.™💰⛵🐾❄️ (@fjcruiserdxb) reported

    @paullewismoney Every other ad is abt gambling on freeview with the usual disclaimer, don't gamble too much, it's bad for you. Worrying & sad.

  • TheAndrewF Andrew F (@TheAndrewF) reported

    There's an old Benny Hill show on one of those cheapo Freeview channels. Obviously it's dodgy by today's standards, but more than that... it's just crap. So much for TV's golden age.

  • BrainScramblie Spooky_Sea_Hag 🏴‍☠️☃️🎄 (@BrainScramblie) reported

    @MidThirstling ahhhh got it well i don't cos i live in cesspit england!! lol i live in tory central but in one of the many pockets of poor folks. cant have freeview unless i pay £200 to have a boosted ariel installed and as its a bungalow itd need a pole as high as the roof is!

  • iwomblearound Sharon M (@iwomblearound) reported

    @FreeviewTV, could you advise if there is an long term issue with freeview in the area of Surrey as it went down at 11am this morning, Christmas Day and it's not been working since #freeview

  • ChonjiGraham Graham Pitkin (@ChonjiGraham) reported

    @robbeckettcomic So not on Freeview? Can't. Oh well, never mind.

  • SofiaAkinJourno Sofia (@SofiaAkinJourno) reported

    Are you in support of the strikes? A YouGov poll revealed which union has the most support and which has the least support. 🚂 We’ll be asking Rochester residents today— watch Kent Tonight this evening to find out the results! 17:30-18:30. 🎥 Freeview 7 // Virgin 159

  • sugarcanebook E. E. Fry (@sugarcanebook) reported

    @virginmedia Also, losing all of our recorded programmes and movies yet again, unable to pre record any Xmas TV or movies, losing all of our favourites and our series links. FreeView and catch up have rendered the Tivo service sold to us as obsolete and we've not been offered any compensation

  • suzysasha elizabeth scott 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@suzysasha) reported

    @channel5_tv Thank goodness. Because TV over the holidays has been awful on all Freeview channels.

  • PhilJDore Phil Dore 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇺🇦 (@PhilJDore) reported

    My washing machine is now fixed, but I'm gonna nope out anyway lads, as my Freeview signal has gone rubbish in the wet weather we're having at the moment. #CovideoWed
