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?

  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

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

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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

  • 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

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

    Catholic Twitter UK- help please! Anyone know of a Mass being broadcast on TV tomorrow ( not via internet) Lovely elderly lady has Freeview but no internet.... TIA!

  • alanrogers123 alanrogers (@alanrogers123) reported

    @PatricProAuthor One of the freeview (free to air) UK TV movie channels has already switched to nothing but Christmas movies, who watches three months of schmaltzy Christmas crap ?

  • FatsoTheWombat Fatso (@FatsoTheWombat) reported

    Annoying picture glitch and noise on #frasier on @Channel4 right now (HD and SD freeview). Very annoying. Please fix it.

  • vixxen_chyna Godde$$ Mistress Chyna Vixxen (@vixxen_chyna) reported

    Me posting a dozen of FREE content never that, I don't even update my photos frequently, I put the "Miss" in Mysterious...besides if i posted everything as a FREEview what would my customers actually BUY or PAY for??

  • SteveBN1 Steven Dive CChem MRSC ● #FBPE #FBPA #FBPPR #3.5% (@SteveBN1) reported

    @JoshNeicho @NewlandsIsabel @BrianCathcart The points raised by Stefanovic are serious enough for national media to cover, not just left to a journalist alone. The BBC has a rolling news channel on Freeview that could fit in an entire programme on his points as well as many other important issues not covered elsewhere.

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    What start to the day, just had TV Licensing officer AGAIN at the door. I've obviously cancelled my dd for the licence as WE HAVE NO FREEVIEW SIGNAL in Teesside haven't had it for 60+ days now, so why would I pay for a service I don't receive, I don't download 1/n

  • KeithCP2 Keith Pates (@KeithCP2) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi I wonder if you could explain why 1 Freeview TV is working on one side of my room, But Another Freeview TV is not working on the other side, I am having to use Virgin on HDMI on that TV is that due to the faults your end? Thanks Keith

  • richard_of_yore ℜ𝔦𝔠𝔥𝔞𝔯𝔡 𝔬𝔣 𝔜𝔬𝔯𝔢 (@richard_of_yore) reported

    @JohnDalton6011 Single ppoint of failure: The week long Freeview broadcast problem is another example of an efficient supply chain also being a very fragile supply chain. #bbcr4wato

  • BallumOfficial Ballum Official 💙🌈💙 BALLUM ARE HUSBANDS! 💞 (@BallumOfficial) reported

    @HearingLosshour @BBCOne @bbcstrictly Oh, that's awful. Sorry to hear that. The subtitles on freeview are mostly OK.

  • rivier Julie Hull (@rivier) reported

    Looks like Chanbel 4 on Freeview has just gone tits-up AGAIN. Damn it, I’ll have to rejoin Virgin at this rate!

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @KeithCP2 Hi Keith, It is unlikely the problem would be related to signal if one TV can receive Freeview channels. However, if you could please DM me your full postcode and house name or number I will look into that for you? Christine
