Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Ellesmere Port 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.

  • Aprilhouse23 Chris Morgan (@Aprilhouse23) reported from Higher Kinnerton, Wales

    @EinCymru Yep it is true - can't get it on any Freeview service (might with Sky) - so annoying - have choice of North West or West Mids.

    @chrisbenson007 @NOWMusic Found this which explains as you scroll down what's happening to a major revamping of Freeview channels....29/30june 2022

  • rsmck Ross McKillop  (@rsmck) reported

    Big mistake to remove @BBCNews HD from Freeview. Hotels, airline lounges, foyers etc where BBC has prevailed for years will switch to another news service rather than retrofit freesat or IP based solutions just to keep the same channel :(

  • feckingpsycho Ted with TM (that's Transverse Myelitis) (@feckingpsycho) reported

    Zoe's internet has crashed just as we were settling down to watch Kenobi on Disney 🤬 Freeview is the only option and after 2 minutes of Glastonbury I'm about to put pins in my eyes and tie a rope around the nearest tree...

  • CatONineTalez Cat O’ Nine Tales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@CatONineTalez) reported

    @CatwomanNation I’ll give it a whirl but I’ve never done one of these tier things before so I’ve a feeling it will be like watching your granny trying to work the Freeview box…

  • _oatc_ oatc (@_oatc_) reported

    @BBCNews @BBCNewsPR Why is BBCNewsHD being deleted from Freeview on 30JUN2022? It is the only HD news service there!

  • lexheath lexheath (@lexheath) reported

    @BBCNews just had a message on freeview that hd is going - this is a huge mistake, I’ve already stopped watching bbc breakfast because the cut to local news gives that tedious message, also never watch local news as it’s ld, itv is all in hd so they’ve won

  • AndrewBowden Andrew Bowden (@AndrewBowden) reported

    @LornaGoodyear Paramount+ is a new streaming service so it's built into many TVs. But actually there are Freeview channels that need an internet connection so yes there are channels thatb can't be watched on normal TVs

  • AndrewxxP Andrew Pickering (Lord of Bolingbroke)🇺🇦🇪🇺🚀🚢 (@AndrewxxP) reported

    Allowing @BBCNews HD channel to drop out of Freeview is a huge error. Poor choice. @newswatchbbc

  • PKenrick Paul Kenrick (@PKenrick) reported

    @dannyschof81 Got any interesting questions for the “right” people on your **** freeview show @piersmorgan ?

  • Andrew1970Robin Andrew Robinson (@Andrew1970Robin) reported
