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

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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!!

  • mickey_omeara Mickey O'Meara (@mickey_omeara) reported

    @FreeviewTV I'm still receiving the wrong ITV Region on Channel 103. On Channel 3 I receive ITV Meridian South which is correct but on Channel 103 I'm receiving ITV Meridian Kent. Freesat had the same problem but was fixed in April last year. When do Freeview plan to fix this?

  • fab_seventies James (@fab_seventies) reported

    @SeanduineLeo I'm always experiencing issues with the freeview channels from that same transmitter.

    So poor I khan only dream freeview 😳

  • KeithCP2 Keith Pates (@KeithCP2) reported

    @IMPACTWRESTLING I used to watch it, but they deserted freeview and went pay per view, never mind I enjoy watching AEW on Freeview lots of Impact Wrestlers have gone there like Hardy for one big name, and there are others including Women

  • steepstuff SteepStuff (@steepstuff) reported

    @FreeviewTV why is it that since having #freeview any wind, rain or combination of, and we get **** TV reception?? #craptechnology

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

    @htwcentral @sgordon_the87 @cleanfeed_ttvr I would say that would be a bad idea but to be fair Sky/Comcast are doing a good job with Sky Arts and I was seriously amazed they put it on Freeview 11 and not in the waste land of the epg.

  • edstub207 Eddie Stubbington (@edstub207) reported

    Sky forces you to have a specific bundle with some packages and says "You get 300 Channels for £25 a month" meanwhile Freeview has 170 of them already & most of the new ones are garbage like Poker TV and some random news channels.

  • DoctaP2 Pazzle Ron Cupboard (@DoctaP2) reported

    @simontucker1979 My parents eventually paid to have a booster aerial put in, just to try and pick up channel 4. Cost like a hundred quid and the signal was pretty patchy but it worked just about, wasn't that much longer before they started broadcasting it anyway tho I think, maybe Freeview time.

  • tvark TVARK (@tvark) reported

    BBC Three returns to Freeview on Tuesday so you may need to retune your TV or set-top box. BBC Three will be on channel 23, DaveJaVu moves to 25. All other channels between 25 and 85 all move down 1 place on the programme list. Ideal World is now on 51, TJC on 22. Happy retuning!

  • thescoogeman walter pancott (@thescoogeman) reported

    @bod_uherald Blocked if trying to watch it via Sky but available with no issues on freeview. My channel is 866.
