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.

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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!!

    @johnredwood They were all shite this Christmas not everyone as sky or subscription tv so are relying on normal/ freeview so I very poor show from them.

  • Anupsetwoman An Upset Woman (@Anupsetwoman) reported

    Is there some reason only the @ITV 2 freeview signal keeps breaking up every evening? It's unwatchable and I've retuned the TV several times already.

  • JoeBloggs400 Joe Bloggs (@JoeBloggs400) reported

    The main problem here is the huge plethora of films on the normal freeview tv or the normal tv somewhat hampering my progress through the films I want to watch on the blu-rays etc well on paramount+ they're getting in the ******* way.I watched oppenheimer on bbc2 yesterday.

    @FreeviewAdvice In 2036 approx when a future government switches off Freeview, will we need to buy ‘Smart’ TVs to watch the proposed internet service? If not, how will we watch internet tv on our current TVs? I watch terrestrial television, not satellite. @DCMS #savefreeview

    @BethUndressed Accidents do happen, don't they beth, it was such a shame that both babestation and babenation on freeview channels 673 and 674 never came back on, X me back

  • Bartlet27722793 Richard Bartlett (@Bartlet27722793) reported

    @GhostOfCorkey @DeathlyAcorn @KayBurley It was the case that radio rights came with the combined TV licence. But not anymore, except perhaps if you only listen to the radio via FreeView, satellite or cable. TVLicensing confirms this in their FAQs. What is better than BBC that you do watch please? Or just nothing live and never BBC, not even on-demand/catch-up?? --Genuinely interested.

    @LGUKCare The challenges on this LG TV are many: no freeview play or freely, the horrible remote control is difficult to use, the difficulty switching sources, popups appear for no apparent reason to do something, etc #Fail @lguk @johnlewishelp

  • TobyHadoke Toby Hadoke (@TobyHadoke) reported

    John Levene has asked me to point everyone in the direction of the channel U&Eden (Freeview: Channel 57/Freesat: Channel 160) which is showing a bumper Benton package today : The Time Monster and The Three Doctors. Not a bad way to spend Boxing Day.

  • finneyzair Gary Finney Zair (@finneyzair) reported

    @Dis_PPL_Protest Part of the BBC licence fee helps to maintain the freeview service.
