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

  • Robbo72uk Andy Roberts (@Robbo72uk) reported from Southport, England

    Virgin tv and broadband gone down yet again. Resorting to Freeview right now. The picture quality is actually much better than Virgin...AND no glitches and constant picture breakup!!

  • richard__webb Richard Webb (@richard__webb) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @GBNEWS i was so looking forward to it. But… on freeview the picture quality is really poor, sound is out of sync, and just feels like the sets are dark and badly lit. Took my focus away from listening to whats being projected. #GBNews

    @Sotlive @BBCRadioStoke I know which local team will be marooned on Freeview TV, and it won't be Stoke or the Vale. I mean how many people listen to the radio on Freeview? #crewealex the poor relation from next season.

  • RichardSandlan3 Richard Sandland 💙 (@RichardSandlan3) reported

    @RailwaymenThe I have Freesat rather than Freeview which means even this service is unavailable.

  • SuzanneRobins1 Suzanne Robins (@SuzanneRobins1) reported

    @philquin Looks like Freeview isn't available to me, though. They don't do an app for the Apple TV decoder (which is what I use with what is now described as an "older" smart TV). Well, that sucks!

    @charliepick @ABCaustralia 1) So the ABC doesn't pay you a wage? 2) Yep great, so make it opt in. Forcing it on us is my issue. If I miss the news being broadcast on Freeview without the need to sign in why the hell should I need to sign in to watch it through an app 3) no data is safe

  • DBD365 Paul Day (@DBD365) reported

    There seems to be a channel on Freeview called "Classic Who Wants To be A Millionaire" What ********?

  • lilastromech mischajaye (@lilastromech) reported

    Is Freeview down in Liverpool at the moment?

  • SBabbcock Simon Babbcock (@SBabbcock) reported

    @ThatAlexWoman Are you still having fun (with permission always I promise!) with my surname?? In return any news on when we can expect the much anticipated and needed @GBNEWS?? You tease us on having a freeview channel!! Is @SimonMcCoyTV really that bad and 20th century on IT??

  • Adjie16077 Claire Menzies (@Adjie16077) reported

    Next year I’m going to refuse to pay my TV licence until the government do something about our TV & the BBC as a corporation not as channels because they’re just as bad. I am fed up with watching the same program is repeated on different channels through Freeview & no subtitles

  • JaseHeeley Jase Heeley (@JaseHeeley) reported

    @BuddClair As of this point, it looks as though there's no way we'll ever subscribe to a paid T.V. service like Sky or Virgin ever again. I'm happy to pay the licence fee as it stands, but Freeview's more than adequate, alongside Netflix and Spamazon.

  • V8Hotstox550 Simon Hughes (@V8Hotstox550) reported

    @Sotlive @BBCRadioStoke Is it not easier to listen through Freeview, given that most households now have at least one if not multiple Freeview enabled TV'S? Problem with MW, and has been for some time, is that the only way to get MW is in the car. So in many ways it makes sense. MW radios now obsolete.
