Freeview Issues Reports Near St Helens, England

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in St Helens and nearby locations:

  • quodignoratum Myles Winstone (@quodignoratum) reported from Warrington, England

    @TalkingPicsTV Definitely. We struggle getting Freeview and as you’re not on BT TV I’m missing my fix!

  • AndyMcK1982 Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @jaxlfc_jj @YaTerrynorris70 It’s not restricted to the BBC. If you watch or record live TV on any channel - either through your TV or through a website - then you need a TV licence. This applies whether you receive Freesat, Freeview or a pay-TV service in your home, & whether or not you watch BBC channels.

  • 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!!

  • DBD365 Paul Day (@DBD365) reported

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

  • JohnPHealy John Healy (@JohnPHealy) reported

    @stroughtonsmith @stacktracepod Hi there. I’ve just stumbled across this tweet, and I think this satellite TV app is something I need in my life! I’m looking for a way to access my saorview and freeview channels from any Apple TV on my network. Is that what this is? If so, I would be super interested.

  • 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.

  • Psythor James O'Malley (@Psythor) reported

    @JamesCridland I’ve just got a HDHomeRun box that has two Freeview tuners in, and makes the channels available as IPTV on your local network. Then the app Channels (which is available for basically everything) is used to view, and downloads the EPG from the web, and it works great.

  • 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.

    @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

  • marshallmaps Roversgotmeagain (@marshallmaps) reported

    @deGourlay I know that, I’ve hidden it on my Freeview box. I had paid Sky for years but their BLM support was the last straw. I am no longer paying any money to Sky so have defunded them.

  • 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??

  • GSWooster GreenSwizzleWooster (@GSWooster) reported

    @leannef55 Ah, just Freeview here. We don’t get fancy service like that 🙁

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @gmomanyi2003 Hi Jeff, Freeview is only available in the UK. If the problem is with the box I recommend contacting the manufacturer, they should be able to help with any problems recorder related. Thanks, C
