  • 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?

    I will never have normal freeview tv

    @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

  • 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😡

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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!

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • RadiumMan MrBav (@RadiumMan) reported

    @GBNEWS I don't know if you have noticed, but your Freeview channel, available earlier today, seems to have gone down.

  • agw1437 A.G.W. 🇬🇧 (@agw1437) reported

    @GBNEWS gen qu for techie types: Why is there a synchronisation problem from the studio but not on the live video links? I’m watching on freeview - does that make a difference? Very curious but keep it simple - I’m a historian not IT.

  • colin1951uk Colin Knight (@colin1951uk) reported

    @GBNEWS I don’t know if it’s been mentioned but I watched on Freeview last night and often the sound was out of synch when a person was talking. The 9:00pm show was worst hit. It may have been teething troubles & ok on other platforms. I’ll check again later to see how it looks.

  • Woofh Lesley Hayes (@Woofh) reported

    @4Viewers So my Freeview only sister in law sees it and I don't. Damn!! Thank you.

  • garybibby Gary Bibby (@garybibby) reported

    @JasonManford If she’s watching a sky or freeview box through it try a new HDMI lead. I’ve seen that issue before. If it’s doing it from it’s built in Tuner then it’s likely the panel and is for repair/replace.

  • galeb80 barbara gale (@galeb80) reported

    @SusanHarris80 @toshtheblues I get it on freeview 236.....but had to quickly returne my TV first. However will give it a few days before I watch again while they sort the too many tech problems out. All very well investing in presenters and reporters only for the technical side to be a bit of a disaster.

  • MikelGunners Dave Robins (@MikelGunners) reported

    @ArsenalAndrew @GBNEWS Switched over to sky channel and picture etc perfect. Poor vision and sound on freeview

  • VirtuaMcPolygon Rob Farmer (@VirtuaMcPolygon) reported

    @jonhoneyball @afneil @GBNEWS Technically it's all a bit amateur hour. Terrible size ticker bar which covers far to much screen space. Hangs around to look when fun and awful font size and dodgy design. Far to dark sets. Awful levels for sound. The Freeview feed is 10db to low compared to every other channel

  • ChrisTheDJ Chris Merriman (@ChrisTheDJ) reported

    Oh and the picture quality is awful - fuzzy on Freeview, and on the wrong framerate on Sky.

  • CommonSense_FT Sam #CSFT 52% 96.5% (@CommonSense_FT) reported

    @GBNEWS Agghh! Watched the launch last night,then signal breaks down (Freeview),retune & the channel disappears! Retune twice more eventually got you back, but at 11.55pm. 😔 Same thing happened this morning & you’ve disappeared again. Mendip transmitter, I believe. Frustrating!
