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 😂

  • 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

  • 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

    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!

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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 🤔

  • 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

  • gordon_gm Gordon D. Morrison 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@gordon_gm) reported

    @PhimisterJim @DaveMunrosCat I set that up at the old caravan.... not too bad. use freeview and stream Netflix etc via site WiFi (or phone if busy. 👍👍

  • gardeninguy Guy Cook (@gardeninguy) reported

    Pops has his TV back, and me turning Router off @ night, safety reasons, is the reason his box went wrong. It needs updating during night. Bloody stupid. My Freeview lets me know when I need to update. More electricity on, when not needed. Bills going up.

  • SnapeHugh hugbilly (@SnapeHugh) reported

    @RadioTimes Thanks for the reply and I understand the intention. What is slightly more annoying is that the site no longer allows one to set a default service provider (i.e. Sky or Freesat.) I use Freeview and it used to be that once I'd selected that service as the provider the page would

  • W31CAS 🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈 (@W31CAS) reported

    @AvonandsomerRob Damn right they should. Also, the number of outgoings on luxuries like SKY TV, Netflix etc. plenty of choice on freeview.

  • kelaher զʊǟռȶʊʍ (@kelaher) reported

    @je_au @MichaelWestBiz I agree on the conditional DRM thing, though not 'trivial'. Also a confusing user experience. Example (real world, lived, me) - FreeView TV app no login - many TVs have Freeview AND native apps. Freeview has "missing content" for that reason - customer complaints result !

  • rachie1788 Rachael Kerr (@rachie1788) reported

    Why do I pay for @skytv again? Never works or downloads anything! May aswell stick with freeview as that’s pretty much all that is functional! 😠😤

  • DarkNightMoofie ✌🏻Gary/Gawy✌🏻 (@DarkNightMoofie) reported

    @Forces_TV are there any plans to bring your channel to the non HD service of Freeview?

  • Farfields_0x04 John 3VaxDermott *🌻🇺🇦* 🇬🇧🇳🇿 (@Farfields_0x04) reported

    @Yekki_1 Use Freeview box with antenna where you can get a convenient signal and check the remote will work at that distance, then hdmi wireless extender to your TV. Not elegant though.

  • clevybencheton Cédric Lévy-Bencheton (@clevybencheton) reported

    @Yekki_1 Depending on your ISP they may have a TV set top box. I believe they must provide freeview for free. Maybe something you explore? You can also use PLC network plugs if you are too far from the wifi access point.

  • FactsStomp Phil's Train and Retro Life (@FactsStomp) reported

    @cleanfeed_ttvr I find this practice annoying mostly because if they don't flag each episode with "New..." the series link doesn't work, at least on Freeview anyway. Plus it highlights just how many 'encore presentations' are on even the main channels now.
