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

  • Crewedaddy Richard Seamon (@Crewedaddy) reported from Crewe, England

    @james_blue_cat Can't afford any streaming service or the hardware upgrade to accommodate one. Freeview and iPlayer is enough. Didn't switch telly on Xmas day and Bob and Paul going fishing was my highlight.

  • m7leicauser Andy Barton (@m7leicauser) reported from Comberbach, England

    @FreeviewTV Thanks to Dan at Freeview, the aerial-out retune x2 seems to have cured the problem. 👍

  • minxsterev helen kirk (@minxsterev) reported from Crewe, England

    @curryspcworld Just been into your Crewe store looking for a freeview box. 5 staff members fiddling with displays, me the only customer. Not one member of staff came to see if I needed help. Going elsewhere as you obvs don't need my custom.

    @virginmedia When you pay for a premium TV service and get Freeview.

  • annlyon55 Ann (@annlyon55) reported

    @virginmedia We just put freeview on tv...Wasn't a big issue.

  • KarlHar36699702 Karl Harrison (@KarlHar36699702) reported

    @virginmedia Still seeing issues with TV. Picture keeps flickering or freezing like a poor connection. No issues when watching the same channels via Freeview, so clearly not fully fixed. Rebooted Tivobox a couple of times, no change. When will things be back to normal?

  • SimpkinsRachael rachael simpkins (@SimpkinsRachael) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I'm in Sheffield and having the same problem with no signal quality and no freeview channels since Tuesday

  • lynda_lyndatw Lynda Rolington (@lynda_lyndatw) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice It’s not just London. No Freeview signal whatsoever in Tonbridge- TN10

  • IanDarlow33 Ian (@IanDarlow33) reported

    @peltonboy @virginmedia Virtually whole of England. Think freeview stations are back on but it is a massive outage. Think they need to throw 10bob in the meter

  • MinnieM40 Clare Hutchins (@MinnieM40) reported

    Unfortunately despite receiving notifications from you, and speaking to customer service this afternoon, according to Yodel they still have not received my V6 box from yourselves. Tbh I feel like giving up now, just remove the second box from my package, I’ll stick with freeview

  • chocs_me Robert Brown (@chocs_me) reported

    @virginmedia Pretty scant in the way of updates given how long it’s been since the outage began. Telling us that a handful of TV channels are available now is all well & good, but I can turn my V6 box off completely & get those for nothing via Freeview.

  • Beren_Camlost Mark J. Yule 🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Beren_Camlost) reported

    @cirriustech Ours came back about 6.30PM last night after being off from about 10AM yesterday morning. Wouldn't have been an issue - I might not have known - but I was off and at my mum's. She just has BBC News on all the time. Can't manage the controller to switch to Freeview :(

  • Carolly7 Carol without an e (@Carolly7) reported

    @Mlabus5 @Gaarrgh Not a Scooby. But Channel 4 had major issues after a recent fire? And I read the channel was not available in some areas or on Freeview since 2pm
