Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Parbold 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

  • 2013jamiepep James Pepperd (@2013jamiepep) reported from St Helens, England

  • karlmcintyre Karl McIntyre (@karlmcintyre) reported from St Helens, England

    @drewhill79 @VodafoneUK @MattJConnor @StHKHIS Same here. BT got the 150 mb and it flies. Good support and I stream everything!! Don’t even have normal freeview.

  • iainsykes2014 Iain Sykes (@iainsykes2014) reported from Blackburn, England

    @KarmaUnc @GMB @joshwiddicombe Yes, but the BBC is a significant contributor to Arquiva who own the masts. They also support Freeview and Freesat.

  • annmurphy_wigan Ann Murphy (@annmurphy_wigan) reported from Wigan, England

    @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

  • richard__webb Richard Webb (@richard__webb) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @GBNEWS i was so looking forward to it. But… on freeview the picture quality is really poor, sound is out of sync, and just feels like the sets are dark and badly lit. Took my focus away from listening to whats being projected. #GBNews

  • johnworthy27 john worthington (@johnworthy27) reported from Preston, England

    @chloesammike @andywigmore @KayBurley Don't worry you can still get Sky news on channel 132 on your Freeview box. Thick ****.....

  • groovicat groovicat 💚 (@groovicat) reported from Adlington, 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!!

  • Toffeewolfie Philip whitehurst (@Toffeewolfie) reported from Liverpool, England

  • JAMESFR29299422 JAMES FREDERICK (@JAMESFR29299422) reported

    Apparently @JolyonMaugham was supposed to be on @SkyNews today giving opinions. It was canned at last moment. I've been a Sky customer for 20 years. Had enough of this sh*t will not be renewing next contract. Freeview and contactless satellite TV for me from now on.

  • CatAmongPages CatAmongThePages 💙 (@CatAmongPages) reported

    Apparently the BBC et al have pledged millions to Freeview to invest in the service. Sorry, pledged MILLIONS (it's a tabloid headline). That's lovely but personally I'd just like a digital signal. It's been over a year now. There will be no licence fee payment this year. Nope.

  • whiplashgrace Grace Rutherford (@whiplashgrace) reported

    @MoneySavingExp Never use freeview

  • amnothybrid Anne-Marie Bellerby (@amnothybrid) reported

    @MoneySavingExp Got tired of paying for a service we didn’t use. Bought a Freeview box and have never looked back

  • Davidp1103 Davidp (@Davidp1103) reported from Gravesend, England

    @Complyorcry @Back_Two_Mee To @TalkTalk they are okay but the broadband is not a good as VM but it's okay; it cut the monthly bill in half. I have since dropped their tv service and bought a freeview recorder. Monthly bill for broadband/phone £38

  • timclark59 Tim Clark (@timclark59) reported

    @kuyt01 I cancelled last year got fed up with them treating a long time customer like crap Got Freeview and a now tv stick don't miss it one bit.

  • Pinklady66 Snoopy (@Pinklady66) reported

    @Sarahca34957734 @virginmedia @virginmedia that is a very good question . Why cant was the #ChauvinTrial not shown live on your network ?? Why are the freeview channels not on .???

  • paperdoll73 Marina Lindsay 💙🌊🎶🌳🇸🇪🇬🇧 (@paperdoll73) reported

    @AdrianEdmondson Not a streaming service, but Channel 81 on Freeview @TalkingPicsTV shows classic films and documentaries all day.

  • Fetzie_ Tom AkA Fetzie (@Fetzie_) reported

    @stnapirrem @LukeEdwardsTele Sky is tied to a multi year deal. And if they left the market and football goes back on Freeview, is that such a bad thing?

  • dubdobdee 🐛 🔥 muad'dob dee 🔥 🐛 (@dubdobdee) reported

    @TriffidFarm a just and probing question! but while the package with the new router in was just delivered i am not going to plumb it in tonight as i am tired and it's a morning task so im watching terrestrial freeview w/the sound turned down
