Freeview Issues Reports Near St Helens, England

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in St Helens and nearby locations:

  • 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!

  • 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.

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

    Why do I keep paying for TV service which is shit @BTGroup I get better service on indoor freeview aerial

  • 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!!

  • 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!

    @pwsimerimiaw @_AngelLady_ @JeremyVineOn5 We don’t have a dishwasher, use my mother’s washing machine, don’t have sky or Netflix,just basic freeview, never buy coffee (we both hate it) only get one takeaway a month which is on two for tuesdays on dominos. Haven’t been on holiday since I was 18.. don’t tar us all...

  • glennr77 Glenn (@glennr77) reported

    @virginmedia Well, status page now says error is acknowledged and we'll have no service until 1:30am - which considering we can't get Freeview means it's a boring evening here 😔

  • herkinderkin John Johnston (@herkinderkin) reported

    @radionzmusic @radionz I can't see any Freeview listings for RNZ National after today. We have rubbish radio reception and terrible internet here, so Freeview is our only option to hear Nashville Babylon. HELP!

  • 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.

  • harriet_austin Harriet Austin (@harriet_austin) reported

    @btbusinesscare as a new customer very disappointed with the customer service I have been receiving. Following a 2 weeks wait to receive WiFi and broadband, Freeview channels do not work despite reassurance it would with the WiFi connected. When we called the...1/2

  • soxxylady Sharon 🦋 (@soxxylady) reported

    @SonyMoviesUK why is the sound always dodgy on freeview channel. Trying to watch karate kid 3 and the sound is crap

  • 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..

  • Adjie16077 Claire Menzies (@Adjie16077) reported

    @Ofcom Fed Up with watching TV full of rubbish to many reality TV and full of too many daily repeats. Freeview lies about new series that are just moved repeated on different channels. When are we going to receive good news every day instead of constant bad news?

  • FacileTalk daz boot (@FacileTalk) reported

    Right. 9pm. Sony Movies Classic. Ch 51 Freeview. AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON But if you want to watch Nigella suck baked beans off a carrot, or whatever else is on, that is your choice & you are an idiot.
