Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Lichfield and nearby locations:

  • DamienAshton Damien Ashton-Wellman (@DamienAshton) reported from Birmingham, England

    Looking through the festive TV schedule and there's no Muppet Christmas Carol on any of the freeview channels this year. Never wanted @DisneyPlus to launch more than right now.

  • grumpyoldstan Grumpy Stan.🎼 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 📻 (@grumpyoldstan) reported from Tamworth District, England

    @itvnews I complained about that awful erectile disfunction advert that appears on some Freeview channels, sometimes in the day & at teatimes, when kids will be watching & they didn't do anything! They said it was fine. It's not nice when young grandkids ask what erectile disfunction is!

  • genders_jason Jason Genders (@genders_jason) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @madaboutHolly @Lee_JM75 Who's watching this bad boy on Freeview channel 70 ,Horror, right now😁💩💩💩

  • ellrbrown Elliott Brown (@ellrbrown) reported from Birmingham, England

    @mrgrahamreed @BBCiPlayer I think I only saw season 1 on Sky 3 on Freeview. Never saw the rest of it. The classic '70s Battlestar got shown on BBC 2, in the '90s.

  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Matey30 @virginmedia Nothing less than I’ve come to expect from them. Service has been so bad which is why we’ve left their tv service. Had to keep the broadband for now due to limitations of other local providers. Now watching freeview…

  • TomPoole007 Tom Poole (@TomPoole007) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virtualash tell your boys your TV quality is poor on Freeview. Whale's head will not look fuzzy. This can't be allowed to happen.

    @RealMattLucas Poor decision. Of course that frees up a slot on Freeview for yet another channel showing repeats of ancient sitcoms - yet more Rising Damp anyone?

  • geordieiceman Sharkey #FBPE 🇪🇺🇺🇦 (@geordieiceman) reported

    @simonharris_mbd And they should have Betamax players too. None of these la di dah Freeview thingies. Poor people are just SPOILED...

  • moonstruckl987 . (@moonstruckl987) reported

    @mawju5 the worst era was before i had freeview. just 5 sad channels so ghetto😭 they would put on like 2 hrs of cbbc and that was it skjsjsnsns i sufferedd

  • samsharpsTBI Sam Sharps (@samsharpsTBI) reported

    @AlexGAThomas This is really nicely put. We have been here before though, when the beeb threatened to cut Asian Network and 6 Music. After an outcry they seemed to settle down to the usual salami slicing. Also the strange return of BBC3 to freeview.

  • Pic889 Dimitris (@Pic889) reported

    @gerardjasper This begs the question: Since you can't receive the entirety of BBC's broadcasts through generic DVB-T2 equipment (you need a special "Freeview HD" receiver), why not encrypt the service and give subscribers a CAM module to watch it? Let's see how many really want to pay for it.

  • missTfied66 Ditsy1/Debbie (@missTfied66) reported

    @RespectIsVital @BBC instead of forking out for a tv licence put that money on internet service..its what we did..freeview free sat.. its dreadful cos no one can afford broadband&streaming. tell em to stick their tvlicence&dont use their channels or iplayer. how you feelin today?

  • paulbennett2018 Paul Bennett (@paulbennett2018) reported

    I can't see any sign of #ChampionsLeagueFinal being listed, on poor man's telly (terrestrial / Freeview).. So much for it being the people's game. #ChampionsLeague

  • pIatformboot 🚬❣️ (@pIatformboot) reported

    cbbc shutting down is kind of sad for nostalgia reasons and cause that was like one of a handful of channels kids could watch on freeview

  • IrishTV_films CCÉ FISÉ (@IrishTV_films) reported

    @BbcBring In NI there is potential to work with RTÉ to have RTÉ2 share with CBBC in replace of its TRTÉ/RTÉjr service. Even to put RTÉ2 +1 on Freeview there with CBBC sharing when its not on the air.

  • k0_shields 𝕜𝕠𝕕𝕚★ (@k0_shields) reported
