Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Watford 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 😂

  • JEFFREY03296741 JEFFREY PHILLIPS (@JEFFREY03296741) reported from Brentford, England

    @TalkingPicsTV Hello. Watching at about 4.35 pm on Monday 24th the Sky TV picture was completely lost from your channel and went off air. All other channels were fine. Also okay on Freeview but I missed the end of the film. At 4.48 pm it is still without a, signal. What's up?

  • UB5simon Simon Bye 🐟🔶 (@UB5simon) reported from Southall, England

    All those **** channels on Freeview and it's BBC News HD that gets the chop 🤔

  • EranE1980 Eran Edry (@EranE1980) reported from Camden Town, England

    @FreeviewAdvice hi there. Please see DMs sent to Freeview account asking for support with channels that don't show (weird D sign with \ on it next to them) including Sky News, Pick and others. Many thanks

  • 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

  • fishinthedark1 fishinthedark (@fishinthedark1) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @PayneB44 @tomhfh @BBC Your point was you want a break from it. There’s 1000s of channels, Freeview, YouTube, Sky, NOWTV, Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, BRITBOX DVDs, Blu-rays. Boxsets. There’s never been so much content to take your mind off it. Or just turn the telly off.

  • 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.

  • coulson3000 Hank Moody (@coulson3000) reported from Kensington, England

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • 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.

  • crazycol Colin Wiseman (@crazycol) reported from Ealing, England

    @stevieboywise If that’s Freeview maybe due to high pressure issue again.

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

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

  • themib Martin Bentley, AKA Martin Bentley (@themib) reported from London, England

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

  • Tommy_M_E_J Tom Jordan (@Tommy_M_E_J) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @njvns That’s so shit. It’s literally called freeview and yet it’s not free

  • vjlorenzato Victoria Lorenzato (@vjlorenzato) reported from Brentford, England

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @BenJohn45874515 Freeview was great in its day, but sd is so old now. Ive nothing against freeview, its a great service. But its very limited to what can be offered.

  • gz4216 SevenDaysToNoon (@gz4216) reported

    @Josneat @FreeviewAdvice I’m betting it’s the usual high pressure issue. When I lose my Freeview I use a link I’ve got saved to a high pressure map. If it’s high. That’s the reason it’s down. No point in contacting Freeview “support” as they are about as much use as a chocolate ashtray on a motorcycle!

  • KidCallyy KidCallyy (@KidCallyy) reported

    @ToeiAnimation In my early teens, there was this freeview channel called Kix. One day, a cool-looking cartoon called Dragon Ball Z was on (I think it was during the Cell Saga). Funny thing is I never remember the exact moment I found out how popular it was, or that it was an anime.

  • evilniamh SpecialGuestVillainess🏳️‍⚧️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 (@evilniamh) reported

    @JoEdwards41 If you have freeview, they're shown on Sky Arts, I thought I'd watched them all but had never seen this one. It's a freaky aul theme innit?

  • TweetsinEpping Terry🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇺🇦🌻 (@TweetsinEpping) reported

    @MaxSkyNews @BBCNews My 10:30pm chocolate cold milk drink with the papers... I've moved already. Sky News app in 720p HD I reckon better than the SD freeview / freesat offerings.... Don't know what the BBC are up to by Mrs Angry from Tunbridge Wells won't be giving them anymore trouble one guess.

  • 61harpy harpy61@todon.eu (@61harpy) reported

    Bought a new telly before Christmas, because my 6 year old one stopped working. Upgraded to 32" android TV with Freeview but reception is terrible, & wireless isn't 100%. New cable got more channels, but still lousy quality, & upgraded broadband not available for my address. :(

    @JamesMelville Life is like Freeview TV, they make it so **** that you don't want it anymore.

  • Simon_Lucy Simon_Lucy (@Simon_Lucy) reported

  • QUIGGYPAULS paul quigley (@QUIGGYPAULS) reported
