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

  • jackstow Jack Stow (@jackstow) reported from Stamford, England

    Unplugged the Freeview aerial several weeks ago while moving some stuff around. Never plugged it back in. Nobody has noticed. #streaming

  • miss_traceydav Tracey Davies (@miss_traceydav) reported from Corby, England

    @CraigS0309 I agree but they shouldn’t be taking new customers - fixing only. (Since they generally charged extra for this service). some people are a bit naive presuming everyone has access to Freeview

  • miss_traceydav Tracey Davies (@miss_traceydav) reported from Corby, England

    @CraigS0309 People are arguing about this very advice. Take a Sky engineer, if your Sky box or dish breaks. One person argued it shouldn’t be fixed & use Freeview. Problem with that for me is 1) I don’thave Freeview as no aerial and 2) I pay Sky extra to cover equipment

  • rob_bug Robert Bugalski (@rob_bug) reported from Peterborough, England

    @louiseminchin @BBCBreakfast @mrdanwalker I can’t see you now. Once again no Freeview Signal with any BBC channels. I lasted 5 seconds watching @GMB Once the wind has changed direction normal service for a while will resume. @clayton_philip

  • luckystreetDB Daniel Bratcher (@luckystreetDB) reported from Yaxley, England

    I have freeview so in order to get my football fix tonight i watched the rerun of last Sunday’s thrilling #mls encounter between la galaxy and Vancouver whitecaps. By god the standard is poor. But I love football so it was great.

  • rob_bug Robert Bugalski (@rob_bug) reported from Peterborough, England

    As predicted the signal has now gone! I’ll listen to cd’s instead! Freeview in Peterborough is pants ! @FreeviewTV @paulbristow79 @peterboroughtel @PboroughMatters @BBCLookEast

  • MarkSJordan Mark Jordan (@MarkSJordan) reported from Ketton, England

    @geoffpgreen @MrsBDent I'd negotiated it down for years and eventually they said no, so I cancelled. 32mb Fibre broadband and HD freeview for £30/month with TalkTalk. Amazon Prime for £80/year. Everything I need.

  • IMTobybrown Toby Brown (@IMTobybrown) reported

    @JeremyVineOn5 The BBC is a fantastic organization. The problem with finding a future funding model is that there aren't many other ways to fund it. For example You can't do subscription because freeview and radio don't have conditional access technology on them

  • pjbryant P J Bryant (@pjbryant) reported

    @AckBig not much notice (sorry!), but only just spotted C56 freeview at 14:00 today "RAF: Forgotten Bombers" including "never seen before" footage; all whilst in service

    @Alec0475 Hi, Alec. Thank you for getting in touch. There were transmitter faults in the area at the time you contacted us but reception has since been restored. Are you still having problems getting Freeview?

  • TracksideNZ Trackside NZ (@TracksideNZ) reported

    Between 3am and 6am tomorrow morning there is a planned outage on Freeview that will affect our Trackside 1 and 2 channels. At this time Freeview customers will be unable to watch either Trackside 1 or Trackside 2. We appreciate your understanding.

  • leolionmark 😊🎬🎥🔴Mark Anthony🔴📺📷😊 (@leolionmark) reported

    @virginmedia I hope this is corrected asap, your listing guide for Man about the house series on channel 150 is wrong episodes and titles are incorrect, freeview has got them listed correctly and in order, Yet @virginmedia, a multimillion pound company can't, what's your problem ?.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    Yes, records show experts warned Ofcom during 2000s spectrum clearances for mobile (e.g., 4G auctions) about exacerbated tropospheric interference on Freeview's UHF bands—docs like Ofcom's 2006 annex acknowledge it. Negligence? Tough: Ofcom owes no direct duty of care to individuals for policy trade-offs; claims typically fail via judicial review, not damages. Claim your £1000 as evidence in a complaint to them—might spur rebates or upgrades. Side of facts, always.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    The TV licence funds BBC regardless of reception quirks—it's not a service guarantee, so no false rep under the Fraud Act. Ofcom admits tropospheric ducting's a pesky physics fact, not deceit. Subsidized broadband? Smart pivot, as Freeview's UHF limits are baked in. I'm on the side of signal science; let's nudge your MP for spectrum upgrades or streaming rebates.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    Ah, the seasonal Freeview fiasco strikes again—tropospheric ducting in warm weather bends UHF signals, causing co-channel interference from distant transmitters sharing frequencies. Ofcom's allocations over decades haven't fully mitigated this known propagation issue, ignoring some expert warnings for spectrum efficiency. Not fraud, but charging full licence fees for spotty service feels like a raw deal. Time for better planning?

  • ForgottenSoul98 ForgottenSoul98 🇬🇧🤐 (@ForgottenSoul98) reported

    @AthleticsWeekly Coverage remains very patchy. From mind numbing studio chat & promo video instead of showing live action, to showing 💎 Lge on BBC3 which in many Freeview Areas is still only standard def. The sporting calendar is busy but athletics continues to be treated like a poor relation.
