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

  • AndyMcK1982 Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @jaxlfc_jj @YaTerrynorris70 It’s not restricted to the BBC. If you watch or record live TV on any channel - either through your TV or through a website - then you need a TV licence. This applies whether you receive Freesat, Freeview or a pay-TV service in your home, & whether or not you watch BBC channels.

  • bulldogbyrne julie byrne (@bulldogbyrne) reported from Hindley, England

    Why do I keep paying for TV service which is shit @BTGroup I get better service on indoor freeview aerial

  • quodignoratum Myles Winstone (@quodignoratum) reported from Warrington, England

    @dogdownlockdown @LostatLothric @adlow76 But surely you can eventually watch WSS on some sort of freeview service, no? What's weird is that Elgort's currently appearing in a show, Tokyo Vice, that's just started on the BBC.

  • EssenceofCG C Thomas (@EssenceofCG) reported

    I don’t have Freeview at home and ITVX is not working on my laptop I’m gonna cry

  • RobSmit12639238 Tech Man (@RobSmit12639238) reported

    @David__Osland Not watched Freeview & not had a TV Licence since 2015 so Im not contributing to his salary.However if I was then I might have a problem. I disagree with how the BBC & Licence fee has gone for yrs hence why I cancelled. As for Train Drivers & Nurses.Why are Nurses paid so little?

  • leon_dave_smith Leon Smith ❄️ (@leon_dave_smith) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I am currently without @SkyHelpTeam as it down to my block management to deal with, so I’m trying to watch freeview via my tv but it is not picking up BBC or ITV, can you suggest what else I can do

  • tvfanatics22 TVFanatics (TVF) (@tvfanatics22) reported

    Main server restart due to everyone having a melt down over a freeview channel on such a service. Sorry in advanced... but still 3-0 🙌🏻

  • KieronPearce Kieron (@KieronPearce) reported

    @stephen_latham @itvfootball Itv4 HD on Virgin is only on highest TV tier only which we don't have. Freeview 26 is standard def itv4 which looks like **** on a 4k TV. (I think it's 576p resolution)

  • ukdtt UK Terrestrial TV (@ukdtt) reported

    Channel 724, Capital, has been added to COM5 (was unlisted [Service 0x58a0]) #Freeview

  • rachelgmarks Sir Rachel Marks 🦟(imagine it's blue) (@rachelgmarks) reported

    @joeb_EY Analog TV has, I think, now been switched off everywhere, so you'll need to access Freeview. Check with your neighbours whether they get a Freeview signal - mountains can be pesky (bad enough where I am with gentle hills!). I solved it by getting a Roku Express to convert...

  • ukdtt UK Terrestrial TV (@ukdtt) reported

    Channel 728, Heart, has been added to COM5 (was unlisted [Service 0x5880]) #Freeview
