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.

  • 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.

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

    @mycampervan We use a @roku streaming device for TV but when WiFi signal isn't good, the aerial always gets a good Freeview signal.

  • worldsbestman Andrew Thompson (@worldsbestman) reported

    @RestoreTVHelp Thank you very much for solving a long term issue I had with my Freeview Channels. Cards through the letter box normally go in the bin! Got one from RTV. Filled out online form, called them, 2 days later magic little box arrived and 5 mins later problem solved👍🙏

  • Mr___Boy John (@Mr___Boy) reported

    @4Viewers Probably both but I was specifically talking about 4HD on terrestrial freeview (ch104). I didn't try the SD channel to compare but it's the same on multiple TVs from different brands. I have a feeling it's a Dolby issue, on my old TV it was better using built in TV speakers

    Is the freeview website down want to check something out.

  • CarlElphick Carl Elphick (@CarlElphick) reported

    ah hell, Mum's TV hasn't picked up the changes on Freeview and needs help. Pity she is a 7hr drive away

  • GreenBin69 Mike Lyon 🇵🇸 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 🇸🇪 🇫🇮 (@GreenBin69) reported

    @davidgstrachan @karenjellis @MartinSLewis It's a good point! Wouldn't want the Beeb to go down the Advertising route, as IMV it ruins the viewing experience & of course means the same advertising revenue spread over more channels. Of course the Gov could pay to make it available on Freeview (they need to keep that first)

  • scepticalPhil Phil (@scepticalPhil) reported

    @Flashmaggie @Baroness_Nichol I was one of those who said I would never watch it. Ever. I have since watched @andrewdoyle_com on a number of occasions in recent months. It’s disappointing that the quality is so low on Freeview, but live YouTube stream is handy.

  • fvtimeshares Freeview Timeshares (@fvtimeshares) reported

    @zealous44672945 Hi Zealous. The Cardiff transmitter is broadcasting all the usual Freeview services, but a separate mutliplex for the Cardiff region (equivalent to the Manchester multiplex) never made it to air, so it's been included on the site as a little joke.

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    Ideal Extra on Freeview has changed it's caption to 'Sorry, this service is no longer available'.

  • JusLord JK (@JusLord) reported

    @Stillnocomment @chrisnagle Where I am, the Freeview is utter ****! I get about 15 TV channels. 1/2 mile up the road, they switch to a different transmitter & have the lot. I watch too much TV as is so is possibly a blessing but obv. I don't get as much value for £ from the bastarding TV licence as some.
