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

  • Dante_Banks Danté Banks (@Dante_Banks) reported from Tottenham, England

    @tinytwink The poor shouldn't have anything they have to work for. Big screen TV - nope. Netflix - what's wrong with Freeview? Mobile phone - can't they walk to the phone box on the corner that was disconnected five years ago. They think if you're poor you should suffer or not be poor.

  • Stroudgreenguy J. Alfred Prufrock (@Stroudgreenguy) reported from Tottenham, England

    @Channel4 Hello. Can I watch Channel 4 *live* through the All 4 app on smart TV? All I see is catchup. I would like to watch CH 4 news every night but my aerial is broken, no Freeview. Please advise.

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

  • PhilMcBoobs Philip McHale (@PhilMcBoobs) reported from Barnet, England

    @jonnyt78 Not at all. Was supposed to be awful except from some certain sections of the media. Some of the games were of freeview over here as well, I didn’t have a clue

  • D_Hollingsworth Dan Hollingsworth (@D_Hollingsworth) reported from Rickmansworth, England

    When did BBC4 HD. Leave Freeview? What a load of ****, missed a chunk of #TOTP and joining it late with Michael ruddy Jackson.

  • nessymon Nessy 😷 (@nessymon) reported from London, England

    @MarketaDee @CNN Freeview has never worked for us for some reason.. will try again. Thanks.

  • themib Martin Bentley, AKA Martin Bentley (@themib) reported from London, England

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

  • psnow85 Peter Snow (@psnow85) reported from Arkley, England

    @Samantha_J_Rea Hmm not to sure about freeview but definitely freesat it’s been taken off for over a year. Probably the same though. Sucks big time. Anyway. Hope you are well.

  • SummerCrush10 Sam Norris (@SummerCrush10) reported

    @KeepUpWithKFabe In the UK you can pay to watch The AEW PPV's on the night or wait an extra until it goes onto the FREE Channel ITV (which you don't have to pay to watch on Freeview or Sky) but you have to pay to watch it if using their ITV Hub catch up service.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @gffcontwitch @BBCNews @FreeviewTV Hi, I am so very sorry to learn you are experiencing issues with your Freeview reception. Can you please DM Freeview Advice your full postcode and house name/number and we will look into this for you. Thank you, Melissa

  • PhilipRDavies Philip Davies (@PhilipRDavies) reported

    @LUFC_josh Yep, a couple of ITV channels down here (via Freeview from the Wenvoe transmitter near Cardiff)

  • JasonFlavell Jase 🎢 (@JasonFlavell) reported

    @timpez123 It can be, it entirely depends on your Wi-Fi, it relies on that entirely, if your wife is down the TV is pretty much defunct apart from if you have an arial in it for free view. Same applies if you cancel the sky subscription, the TV is basically a dead tv other than freeview

  • happyborg happyborg: decentralising & democratising (@happyborg) reported

    @RadioTimes Thx. Lenovo Android tablet with latest Firefox. Clicking Freeview (or other things) causes the display to flicker repeatedly very fast, and I can see the text briefly "server error" between the screens it is displaying. I'm now using the freeview website tv guide without problem

  • gareth71 Gareth 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@gareth71) reported

    @WelshGasDoc @itvhub Oh yus. Dreadful. UK’s most popular soap (Corrie) not even on their front page any more. On iplayer you can start watching a prog on catchup any time after it’s started on Freeview - on ITV you have to wait until several minutes after it’s finished. And UI is *awful*.

  • Paulusdmc42 Pauly H (@Paulusdmc42) reported

    @GoobRoob What you mean gone off ? Did the Freeview signal go down 🤔was ok on sky.

  • happyborg happyborg: decentralising & democratising (@happyborg) reported

    What have you done @RadioTimes? The online TV Guide I've used for years has been broken in multiple ways. Choosing things like 'Freeview' breaks it. Lazy loading as I scroll never completes, channel numbers aren't shown. It's hard to scroll vertically without it scrolling time😵

  • OCDTrudy Grumpy Old Girl! #WearADamnMask 😷🇪🇺 (@OCDTrudy) reported

    @LemSip27 No some idiot left an item at the station so it had to be checked and it wasn't suspicious. Freeview has been having problems for months with various transmitters or relays going down throughout the UK
