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.

    @TomDGreen @scottygb Actually - my bad - I read Freesat as Freeview. It's on Freeview for sure.

  • word_soup Ian (@word_soup) reported

    @SuperRetroid Had that on my first freeview pvr & after the initial novelty had worn off I basically never used it.

  • KellyEdwards85 Kelly Edwards (@KellyEdwards85) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice i've had no freeview TV in Southampton area, SO14, since Wednesday last week. There is a picture and channels but not watchable due to poor signal cutting in and out. Please advise. Ive retuned many times and not resolved. ☹

  • Christo20129392 Christopher Clinton (@Christo20129392) reported

    Sooo, no freeview channels available whatsoever. No signal apparently. 🤷🏼 What a time to be alive.

  • Evoqueist Evoqueistidor 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🇺🇸 (@Evoqueist) reported from Upton, England

    @101Maurice We get EE 4G but it's pretty patchy I live in a suburban area a couple of miles from Poole in Dorset and can't get a freeView signal so have to use Freesat....

  • WayneTreasury WAYNE ANDREWS (@WayneTreasury) reported

    @danwootton I'm currently not getting a signal at all on Channel 236 on Freeview - any idea why?
