Freeview Issues Reports Near Runcorn, England

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Runcorn 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.

  • 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!

  • Bluebird0309 CllrJillHoulbrook (@Bluebird0309) reported from Chester, England

    I have 100 freeview channels on my tv. Tonight they are all showing utter crap.

    Does anyone know if Samsung Freesat tvs can receive Freeview like other tvs? I've been ping-ponged between @JohnLewisRetail customer services & technical support, who initially said did, then @SamsungSupport who said didn't, then JL say it needs a digital aerial. 🥴😵‍💫🌀😵

  • TraillCarolyn Carolyn Traill (@TraillCarolyn) reported

    Help!! @LTA @DavisCup How can I watch live the matches starting today in Glasgow? (Either on freeview TV or by free livestream)

  • JonesCitizen1 CitizenSmith@JonesCitizen (@JonesCitizen1) reported

    @SuperCroup Yes but the stuff for free on YouTube is not to my taste and usually crap. What's Kanopy, not on Freeview. I suppose I could put on a videotape.

  • themikeandrew Mike Andrew (@themikeandrew) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice might be a stupid question but how do I know if I can get Freeview on my TV? I have a Sony 2021 Google tv. Does it require an Aerial or scan via internet? Doesn't seem to be an app available. 🤦🏻🤔 I have sky but no Aerial to connect.

  • EastLight EastLight (@EastLight) reported

    @mashcore4mums @a516digital Not sure if the small delay on BBC 1 vs News is intentionally added, or related to the feed passing through regional centres? Freeview SD pictures are poor even on "high" bitrate channels though. "Dreadful" was my initial reaction when I 1st saw DVB in 1999- this hasn't changed.

  • RevBrynstero0 Reverend Brynstero0 (@RevBrynstero0) reported

    Operation avoid the funeral is in full effect. Helped by my Freeview reception going to **** in the rain. So now watching The Samaritan on Prime. #NowWatching

  • Rachelgpeters Rachel Peters 🌞 (@Rachelgpeters) reported

    @JamesHalcrow It’s so bad, just went to find something, canned it and decided to stick to Freeview lol

  • markrprior Mark Prior (@markrprior) reported

    @mativity @rfgwyther No sign of either ITT on the Freeview schedule for any of 9's channels. @sophoife said it is possible to add the StanSport trial to a Stan trial though. Doesn't help if you don't have the capability to watch Stan though.

  • JasonWTimmins Jason Timmins (@JasonWTimmins) reported

    @petercrouch Are you talking about Freeview, Freesat, Sky or Virgin Media? Actually, forget it, I'm not that interested in your first-world, millionaire 'problems.'

  • JulieSmith2001 Julie Smith (@JulieSmith2001) reported

    Is anyone else loosing Freeview TV signal tonight in the North West? I keep getting a message saying the channel is scrambled.
