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!

  • bulldogbyrne julie byrne (@bulldogbyrne) reported from Hindley, England

  • 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!!

  • Toffeewolfie Philip whitehurst (@Toffeewolfie) reported from Liverpool, England

    @mjohndyke Do you use freeview or another service to watch TV? You might need to retune.

  • FrancisAShailes Francis A Shailes (@FrancisAShailes) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV @berkobabe UK, but I don't have a TV that can get Freeview. I had a digibox but it's very poor at reception now (I'm near Bristol). I wish one day TPTV could be fed to the internet like Drama and Yesterday etc.... but I know there are obstacles to that.

  • Golf_5_TM Tim H (G5TM) (@Golf_5_TM) reported

    BTW re: my earlier poll re: TVI.. please share I’d like votes and responses on this. It seems like it’s all bands causing issue but ONLY on satellite and DAB!?? Not freeview. I’m sure both satellite and DAB are linked to their rf distributor in the attic.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    *in some areas only. The national version of That's TV, with the same schedule except the local news at 6 and its early morning repeat is down on Freeview 91, again in some areas (but not necessarily the same areas) only.

  • DJLujoso DJ Lujoso (@DJLujoso) reported

    Hehe.. I have worked out a way to get in & out of the ULEZ undetected. Gonna go scope it out in a bit. Trouble is, if it fails I'll have to pay TFL twelve quid & I won't know if it works for three days... Beats sitting in watching freeview, eh?

  • TheWarLlama The War Llama (Taylor's Version) (@TheWarLlama) reported

    @JSpaced10 Because the licencing for the Freeview crap is cheap. Original shows are not. Gotta maximise those profits, son.

  • Kathy_landeg59 Kathryn Landeg (@Kathy_landeg59) reported

    Freeview is down agian I'm losing channels

  • James__Parr James Parr (@James__Parr) reported

    @Shires_Rich We should start a petition to get Star Trek aired on freeview tv so that anyone can watch it without having to pay for a premium streaming service.

  • adiospantaloons Trumpet Compulsory (@adiospantaloons) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV @Simon_Pegg I wish. I can't seem to watch your channel, no matter how hard I track it down. No website or app seems to stream it, and we can't get Freeview as aerials don't work in our wooded part of the country :-(

  • richardjacobs1 Rich Jacobs💙 (@richardjacobs1) reported

    @SimonBrodkin Similar goings on with mine. We need to compile a parental / grandparental FAQ to avoid the call outs. “Q: You think Freeview not working? A: press Input. Antenna = aerial = Freeview” My latest call out!
