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.

  • 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!

    Great Movies Action channel (Freeview 42). “The Apocalypse” A disaster movie that is so apocalyptically bad that it hasn’t got enough budget for cgi of devastation. Just gormless characters watching TV news, or watching the devastation (neither of which is visible to the viewer).

  • explodingwalrus Carl Draper (@explodingwalrus) reported

    Kerrang video on Freeview seem to play the same **** all the damn time. Paramore sound like a pop group pretending to be rock

  • SimonHardy_74 Simon Hardy (@SimonHardy_74) reported

    @HumaxUK FVP_5000T. Cannot go backwards in the EPG anymore. Players screen often doesn't launch properly, fixing me no way into Freeview Play providers. Live TV app doesn't work properly and have been updated in years. Any plans to fix any of this? #humax

    @neilbelieves Not seen it, it's on the list though. I remember it being quite controversial at the time here in the UK but I never bothered with it. Now I want to check it out, it's never available on freeview 🙄

  • ReubenHerbert1 Reuben Herbert (@ReubenHerbert1) reported

    @thefulltoss @hainba67 Participation numbers in all sports are in decline regardless of whether its on freeview tv. The downward trend has been since the late 1980s. My research shows its more likely down to the fact sport is not played in state schools rather than tv.

  • JohnTurner2021 John Turner (@JohnTurner2021) reported

    @MiserygutsPetty Because of the temperature. Hot temps and high pressure will **** a Freeview signal without even buying it a drink first.

  • thedogger31 darren (@thedogger31) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Yes I wanted to keep my tv package and landline but was told yesterday if I cancel my broadband I cannot keep my landline as only the freeview channels come through the satellite dish. I am out of contract on my broadband too
