Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Welwyn Garden City and nearby locations:

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

  • psnow85 Peter Snow (@psnow85) reported from Arkley, England

    @Samantha_J_Rea Hmm not to sure about freeview but definitely freesat it’s been taken off for over a year. Probably the same though. Sucks big time. Anyway. Hope you are well.

  • D_Hollingsworth Dan Hollingsworth (@D_Hollingsworth) reported from Rickmansworth, England

    When did BBC4 HD. Leave Freeview? What a load of ****, missed a chunk of #TOTP and joining it late with Michael ruddy Jackson.

  • PhilMcBoobs Philip McHale (@PhilMcBoobs) reported from Barnet, England

    @jonnyt78 Not at all. Was supposed to be awful except from some certain sections of the media. Some of the games were of freeview over here as well, I didn’t have a clue

  • nessymon Nessy 😷 (@nessymon) reported from London, England

    @MarketaDee @CNN Freeview has never worked for us for some reason.. will try again. Thanks.

    Why is there still no #Horrorchannel app?? Wtf they playing at?? Come on and give us something better than #Horrorbites on that awful Freeview!

  • EileenIvy Eileen Satchell (@EileenIvy) reported

    @presentinglee I’m sorry to trouble you, but how can I get Freeview tv on my TSV I received today. I can only seem to get Pluto TV not the true Freeview. Obviously I have BBC, ITV, More 4 and My5, but I was hoping to get the standard Freeview channels x

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    * These two sites are affected as they currently broadcast all the main Freeview channels on the frequencies that Bilsdale will be using. To avoid interference, they need to come off air during tests. **That 80 metre temporary mast will be in service for quite some time.

  • steeleyp_ PS (@steeleyp_) reported

    @jsquires1990 @SkyHelpTeam ‘One cord’ went out the window as soon as the channel list was put online. Not all Freeview channels available… so an aerial would be needed. Awful product.

  • Arnold__Simon Simon Arnold (@Arnold__Simon) reported

    @actiontiff @MailOnline I'm watching STV HD all good on Freeview service. #tippingpoint

  • EssexRocker Dave (@EssexRocker) reported

    Disappointed that @skytv without a dish was announced as #SlyGlass and not the service launched in other countries. Seriously, WTF is that? I'll be stuck with Freeview and the limited features of @NOW for a while 🙁💩

  • FlappyBerk Christian (@FlappyBerk) reported

    @RealBlackIrish @uncanted The current ITV issue is likely a consequence of digital terrestrial infrastructure being held together with bubblegum and hope, since it's only effecting Freeview. I don't think there's a huge conspiracy to normalise the loss of Tipping Point repeats for an afternoon.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    @Mark56623345 High pressure may also be affecting Freeview reception. To identify if this is the cause: - Check to see if both ITV and Channel 4 have a problem. - If it's just ITV, it's the problem with the Freeview multiplex feed. - If it's both services, it's your reception.

    @toastman @ScotlandNT Stupid ****, probably all you get on freeview. Jakey

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    (Since 25th September, Channel 4's Freeview services have been running at lower bitrates on all other transmitters in the country, following the Red Bee Media incident.)
