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.

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

    @rlwjones @Nick_Metcalfe @MarkyBunny They made one champions League game per round free to air..usually the crap games though..they used to have a channel on Freeview..

  • 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.

  • LuckyKnight79 LuckyKnight (@LuckyKnight79) reported

    @LGUK @T3dotcom No DTS passthrough over eARC a major issue. No All4 or My5 apps after 1 year. No freeview play. VRR cannot be fixed. DV@120. Customers are being ignored.

  • chrisk_hw Chris K #FBPE #Rejoin #3.5% (@chrisk_hw) reported

    @NickStevenson63 And also why are there so relatively few channels broadcast in HD on Freeview (and even fewer on Freesat if you live somewhere that gets crap Freeview signal)

  • unit_korg Korg Unit 🇬🇧🇧🇻🇺🇸 (@unit_korg) reported

    @tws4042 Just hold on a couple of more weeks, GB News is here on the 31st of May. Freeview Channel 236. The test signal is already broadcasting, you may have to re tune your TV.

  • William35473987 William Gould (@William35473987) reported

    @LGUK @Kevin89890344 This is really poor service from LG. Some effort should be made to upgrade 2020 TVs to Freeview Play. Everyone who has purchased a 2020 TV has paid the same amount as someone who bought an LG TV in any other year.

  • Ninjafairy2 Wendy-Jane #3569 #ActuallyAutistic #FBIW #FBPE (@Ninjafairy2) reported

    @SpudFromDublin @Hookademus @MattAndo63 Sorry to jump in ... but our BT box is connected to our rooftop aerial. My older freeview tv in other room is too for freeview channels (& only 21 tv channels at that) . Signal goes down quite often. No dish. No cable.

  • RichardSandlan3 Richard Sandland 💙 (@RichardSandlan3) reported

    @RailwaymenThe I have Freesat rather than Freeview which means even this service is unavailable.

  • WeRWorld Kris in Dunstable, The UK (He/They) (@WeRWorld) reported

    Currently trying to build up a Sky Q buffer for last night's SNL... does anybody else do this with their TiVo/SkyQ/Sky+/Freeview+/Freesat+ service? I've not watched an advert on TV for a long time. It means I often miss out on tweetalongs... But I feel it's worth it haha

  • SBabbcock Simon Babbcock (@SBabbcock) reported

    @ThatAlexWoman Are you still having fun (with permission always I promise!) with my surname?? In return any news on when we can expect the much anticipated and needed @GBNEWS?? You tease us on having a freeview channel!! Is @SimonMcCoyTV really that bad and 20th century on IT??

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital I'm mystified why they send someone round when I've already established reception is not possible. I watch local TV on sky or freesat no problem!which is for the Thames valley, on freeview its if I'm lucky other wise very weak Anglia or west from swindon.

  • mojofitz Maurice Fitzgerald (@mojofitz) reported

    @Sotlive @BBCRadioStoke I know which local team will be marooned on Freeview TV, and it won't be Stoke or the Vale. I mean how many people listen to the radio on Freeview? #crewealex the poor relation from next season.
