Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • BrittasFan The Brittas Empire Fanpage (@BrittasFan) reported

    @scott_gamer @Page_888 @dramachannel I can't watch Gold, because we only have Freeview. Is it true that they air never-ending repeats of Only Fools and Horses?

  • Hausofgoochi1 Goo 🦠 (@Hausofgoochi1) reported

    @favesass They're forcing them onto the internet, this is insane. We could only have Freeview growing up since we barely had internet access. This is such a ****** thing to do to poor and low income families. Watching CBBC and CITV was literally one of the only things we were able to do.

  • OfficialRUFC Rotherham United (@OfficialRUFC) reported

    FREEVIEW | My main aim is to help the team - Blackett Tyler Blackett sat down with iFollow Millers after penning a deal until the end of the 2022/23 campaign. #rufc | #ForeverTogetherForeverProud

  • davidchscott David C Scott 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧 🇩🇪 🇪🇺 🔸🏛⚽️ (@davidchscott) reported

    @jemmaforte No worries @JuliaHB1 is a champion of preventing cancel culture. She'll campaign for it to be shown on freeview TV.

  • CliveRoper Clive Roper (@CliveRoper) reported

    @TalkTV Why is the picture quality on Freeview so poor compared to GB News or even online?

  • MaybeeitsMeee 🐝MaybeeMee🐝🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🐝🇬🇧🐝 (@MaybeeitsMeee) reported

    @ITV Help!!. I am three quarters of the way through THe Bay when ITV X went back to the home screen. I cant see the end of the episode without watching it all again. I'm on ordinary freeview,but on a pc as we have a bad reception. This happens every time I watch ITV X now.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @mikechildmusic Hi Mike, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview Reception. So, we can investigate this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie (@Brekkietweets) reported

    @WhoPotterVian I never had an issue with ITV Hub but ITVX just crashes all the time. Took their advice eventually and uninstalled it and reloaded it and now it doesn't work at all. And it works on less devices than it did before - even on a new Freeview Play device bought just last year

  • HeadingtonBard Alex Aris (@HeadingtonBard) reported

    Is anyone having problems with @FreeviewTV at the moment through an aerial? We've only got 53 channels and can't get channels 1-6 either. #television #freeview #tv

  • AnneCardwell4 Anne Cardwell (@AnneCardwell4) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Thank you for your response. I've been having problems with Freeview for months, so I'm not impressed with the service, and so many repeats, that we've already paid for. Regards Anne.

  • mikechildmusic Mike Child (@mikechildmusic) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Is there some sort of problem with Freeview in southern England? For weeks now, I’ve had certain channels breaking up and some even going missing completely after retuning. I have both 4G and 5G filters and had no problems at all with transmission until recently.

  • dcole0007 Danny (@dcole0007) reported

    @supertanskiii I want to but I use a streaming service that includes Freeview. I’d like @bbc to be independent of any govt Tory or @UKLabour . It needs to become a subscription service

  • into_de_void DeVoid (@into_de_void) reported

    @kelvmackenzie Can anyone answer a question for me? If the TV licence is specifically for the BBC, why must I pay for a TV licence if I "watch or record TV on any channel - via any TV service (e.g. Sky, Virgin, BT, Freeview, Freesat)" I don't ever watch BBC channels or use iPlayer....????

  • mangh_oe Sophie (@mangh_oe) reported

    @jasebyjason I thought this ! There’s probably not enough kids watching the tv now so they’re not bothering anymore but my dad never got wifi till I was 16 because waste of money so I feel bad for the families that rely on freeview tv 😭

  • Pawsaldo Pawsaldo the Unlucky Navy Breacher (@Pawsaldo) reported

    @Anth_Peace @JewelKnightJess its on Freeview, also they have their own on demand service that is free.
