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

  • 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

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

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

  • LILBUBBLE1 Bu88ble (@LILBUBBLE1) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @FreeviewAdvice I’ve been experiencing a lot of poor quality imaging/interruptions of my freeview in my area, Chingford, London. Also I’ve been able to DM you and I’m not sure why the system is not enabling it. It doesn’t bring up your company when I try

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Not receiving a service who would. A plan that will back fire as I will film the "inspector" when he comes and he demonstrate how&why I should have a licence, good luck with that... Seriously getting pissed off with #BBC @tvlicensing no signal no money from me sort Freeview out

  • Hrawli H (@Hrawli) reported

    @Webbo2306 I’ve sorted it. Didn’t pay for HD as most Freeview channels are already in HD. It’s just the Sky channels that you have to pay for and I don’t really watch them much. Works out I’m paying £15 a month extra on my internet, so not bad. 👍🏻

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    On this day in 2012, S4C's original HD service "Clirlun" closed down. Its Freeview slot was taken over by C4 HD. In 2016, S4C relaunched its HD outlet, this time simply known as 'S4C HD'. The BBC Three consultation revealed S4C HD is earmarked for a return to Freeview soon.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    @MisterVivian @cleanfeed_ttvr ...a pay TV service on UK DTT called Picnic. The idea was to use MPEG4 to fit in four channels in the space occupied by three MPEG2 channels. [MPEG2 in combination with DVB-T is still the standard used for most Freeview channels]

  • BGhattaure BubblesG (@BGhattaure) reported

    @MoneySavingExp SKY’s charges are ridiculous! Who watched 999 channels? You try to cancel 1 subscription but you can’t as you’re tied into another one; so you end up purchasing the whole package - it’s a rip off!! I’m currently researching into Freeview.@skytv

  • rosetoot rose wakelin (@rosetoot) reported

    @virginmedia avoid this lot. Landline hardly ever works, Internet says its fast but there are lags that mean you can't hold a normal MSTeams meeting and more TV stations on Freeview. Also impossible to cancel since you have to sit waiting for useless AI to respond. Just say NO

  • GlenMitchell1 Glen Mitchell 🐝 🇪🇺🌹🌈 (@GlenMitchell1) reported

    @alastairjam Yeah we’ve just never moved cause Rob had them historically but won’t be staying now. Freeview is killing me.

  • jesswarsh Jess Warshaw (@jesswarsh) reported

    @FreeviewTV I've tried ringing but noone picks up. I can't connect to Freeview and have tried everything can you help? Have sent you a DM

  • EddieOK4 Eddie OK (@EddieOK4) reported

    ...WARNING... @SkyHelpTeam got a new SkyQ box and multi room fitted yesterday afternoon, already it is not working! They claim this is the best technology ever, it's not, they just want your money. Stick with freeview people or go to an alternative supplier.

  • knives_are_cool kyle (@knives_are_cool) reported

    @outsidewolves @computergeek06 that sounds utterly miserable, considering how much of a crapshoot freeview is. i would never ever pay for it
