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.

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

    @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..

  • annmurphy_wigan Ann Murphy (@annmurphy_wigan) reported from Wigan, England

    @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

  • 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!

  • m7leicauser Andy Barton (@m7leicauser) reported from Comberbach, England

    @FreeviewTV Thanks to Dan at Freeview, the aerial-out retune x2 seems to have cured the problem. 👍

    You need to have a webpage showing realtime Freeview problems. It's a huge waste of time trying to guess if Freeview is working in tropo affected parts of the country. @FreeviewAdvice @Ofcom

  • GiveUsAQuid Sir Lefty Farr-Wright, Hard-Right Parody Account (@GiveUsAQuid) reported

    @rufc2022 Must admit, I've never seen Our Novara - I'd thought it was a type of lipstick. Can it be watched on the Hard-Right Freeview?

  • Paulsmccann Paul (@Paulsmccann) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Please tell me why, when I contacted you for social tariff BB for my daughter your sales guy never heard of it and could only do it with Sky Q and only freeview. Will be phoning you just after 12pm

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    @UKChristmasTV Full listings now on Freeview guide too. I notice that a shopping strand on HobbyMaker has a Closing Down Sale, I guess they may have noticed that there is more demand for content on Sewing Street and Hobby Maker on the channel.

  • SS401 Paul Rogers 🇺🇦 🜃 (@SS401) reported

    Our Freeview has completely crashed - no signal on any channel. Is it just us? @AboutEG

  • ITVXhelp ITVX Help (@ITVXhelp) reported

    @aitchstone Hi 👋 We upgraded our tech to offer more content and improve our overall app experience. A big part involved updating our content protection to keep our shows copyright-safe. This tech is not supported by some Freeview devices and is no longer compatible to support the ITVX app.

  • a516digital Mike (@a516digital) reported

    @CraigTvBug @EvanD As it stands the Freeview signal is currently carrying data to support five regional versions of BBC One HD across England. But the BBC promises all regions. It is currently advising the changes will occur by the end of April.

  • lysandrenation Augustine (lucien lachance my beloved) (@lysandrenation) reported
