Freeview Issues Reports Near St Helens, England

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.

    @rlwjones @Nick_Metcalfe @MarkyBunny They made one champions League game per round free to air..usually the crap games though..they used to have a channel on Freeview..

  • 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!!

  • 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!

  • McChris85 Chris McBride (@McChris85) reported

    @SkyArts How about making your Freeview shows more accessible to watch? When will the Michelangelo documentary be available on Now TV? Perhaps it's time to have an accessible OD service, as I can't see when a repeat is planned at a decent hour!

  • NationalTheatre National Theatre (@NationalTheatre) reported

    @Katet282 So sorry you've had trouble watching! You could try it on the Freeview Play app, to watch one of the repeats on Sky Arts, Easter Monday at 9.30pm or Thursday 8th April at 10pm.

  • GrannySmithGrey Me (@GrannySmithGrey) reported

    @Wildisonmine @itvnews All the frit MSM because people have turned off and don't believe their Lefty rhetoric Also millions are refusing to buy BBC License Tax and newprint begging for donations Oh shame never mind move on GB News coming soon for free on Freeview, Sky, Virgin, channel 236? number

  • Katet282 Kate T (@Katet282) reported

    @NationalTheatre with our signal so bad for Sky Arts on Freeview channel11, such a shame you couldn’t broadcast on National Theatre at Home for your avid subscribers too. I’ve given up - too pixelated and jumpy for me to listen any longer 💔

  • andybrown300 Andy Brown (@andybrown300) reported

    @brianmoore666 Quality of the red button feed on Freeview is very poor. Like watching through the bottom of a beer glass ...

  • NationalTheatre National Theatre (@NationalTheatre) reported

    @lornadupre If you're in the UK, Sky Arts is a free channel and you don't need to be a Sky customer! It's Channel 11 on Freeview. The film is being repeated on Easter Monday at 9.30pm and Thursday 8 April at 10pm.

  • LesMalpas Les Malpas (@LesMalpas) reported from Truro, England

    @MarkBlackmore33 Right. You poor sod. I use Freeview. If anybody knocks on the door they get tolled to get away.

  • louisesarahh Louise Sarah (@louisesarahh) reported

    @ebdxo Do you have access to it? If you don’t have access to satellite TV, you don’t need a license. But if you have freeview or anything where you could watch the BBC then you still need it. It’s ****, I barely ever watch BBC 🙄

  • smileykirstie Kirstie Wright (@smileykirstie) reported

    @Mr_Sanch We have ours separate to have more flexibility. We just took out broadband with virgin for £24 a month for 100/mbps (I think) and then just use Freeview plus our Roku and other streaming apps for the rest of our tv. Rather than paying for channels we never use..

  • libertyIAB Liberty (@libertyIAB) reported

    I've actually looked at the TV schedule bc it's Easter, I thought they may have done something a little special... Have they ****! I'm so pleased I'm not reliant on freeview 😳 It's streaming & reading, for me forever now I guess...
