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!

  • Mike_SmithUk1 Mike Smith (@Mike_SmithUk1) reported

    @EllieRSmith1 I'm with sky now, I want to cancel there satellite subscription. I'm tempted just to use the freeview tv

  • BarrieDarke Barrie Darke (@BarrieDarke) reported

    @gordon_dudgeon @profsked @edglasgow59 I read you can delete the BBC from your Freeview by having a piss down the back of your TV. Haven't tried it myself, but let me know how you get on.

  • WatsonJKnights Watson J.Knights (@WatsonJKnights) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice No freeview signal in Surrey. Well I say none there is a smattering of channels that have badly broken up pictures that could be classed as art.

  • mikes1988 Michael Edwards (@mikes1988) reported

    @ppdoddy I do vaguely remember 5 being turned on. I was probably 9! We didn't get a great signal from Black Mountain (lived at Merville at the time), so it was a bit noisy compared to the Divis transmitter. Freeview sorted that out.

  • ChrisDod1 solarSteve (@ChrisDod1) reported

    There's a new TV news station on the block starting soon on Freeview etc. GB News. To show your support for a healthy alternative to the usual BBC/ITN/Ch4/Sky News channel, search "New British... " on Facebook

  • AmigaBoing AmigaBoing.net Blog (@AmigaBoing) reported

    @FreeviewTV why is Barnoldswick, BB18 5BX, Lancashire still getting a limited Freeview Service, (I think its West Martin Transmitter) - Analogue was switched off decades ago? (asking for a friend) - He doesnt even get @ChallengeTV or @TalkingPicsTV channels🤬

  • HarryPie1862 HarryPie. 🤔 🥀😷 (@HarryPie1862) reported

    All broadcasters are bought, especially the state-owned & Tory party controlled BBC. But when billion pound missiles are directed at bringing down a broadcaster's HQ, your can bet your bottom dollar that broadcaster is less corrupted than others. Al Jazeera news Freeview 235

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @jax20206 Hi, there hasn't been any update to Freeview recently. Was it an update to the Freeview Play app or perhaps the software on the TV? Updates to apps should not affect your TVs connection to your SKy service.

  • dav_jolly Buzby (@dav_jolly) reported

    @Hookademus @SpudFromDublin @MattAndo63 When my Virgin service goes down I switch to Freeview so still have Tv!

  • fat_tramp Gaz... (@fat_tramp) reported

    @litg50 @LozzaFox @BBC Freeview you idiot just like now but without paying £160 for the privilege of free to air television.
