Freeview Issues Reports Near Edinburgh, Scotland

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

  • gordonhudsonnu Gordon Hudson (@gordonhudsonnu) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @HumanityReality @TonyTcrawley666 @voodude64 There is. They are all availble on their own streaming apps like iPlayer All4 etc. What Kapang did was aggregate them all into one place. I had a look and their other channels are still working, just not the Freeview ones. This makes me suspect its a legal issue.

  • doug_johnstone Doug Johnstone (@doug_johnstone) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @JayStringer Just check out Blaze tv on freeview, seems like mad alien shit is half their content.

  • darrksquid Kate🇪🇺 (@darrksquid) reported from Bonnyrigg, Scotland

    Ok, Peanut Gallery, what is a decent news/current events show available on Freeview that I can watch for 15 minutes in the morning before work with my cereal? I can't do Piers Morgan, and BBC Breakfast IS pretty poor, I'll admit.

    @FifiOink Haha. First discovered can't watch live on Freeview app, then tried to make an account which wouldn't work, finally managed to hack my own account and then finally buffering issues 😭

  • Julesbaileyx Jules (@Julesbaileyx) reported

    Missed the first hour of Harry and Meghana interview so now won't be watching until tomorrow because Freeview TV sucks

  • ChrisTheDJ Chris Merriman (@ChrisTheDJ) reported

    @htwcentral @FreeviewAdvice @FreeviewTV Yes. LG says it's coz they broadcast in MHEG instead of HBB. This is a lie. They all broadcast in both now. The fault is with the firmware but they're saying not. If they physically can't pick up all channels (as opposed reception issues) it shouldn't be sold as Freeview Play.

  • Pipa_Riggs GM2UWX-BLM 1312 (@Pipa_Riggs) reported

    Freeview recorder £130 or add a HDD to my telly for £40. Help me guys this decision is too hard.

  • thisisjoeob Joe O'Brien (@thisisjoeob) reported

    @nickpiggott More that the ITV Hub is crap. And I didn’t realise so many people had either no TV or no freeview. But yes. Q is it!!

  • Rupert_Travis Skewering_Socialism (@Rupert_Travis) reported

    The endlessly repeated #peloton ad on the Freeview channels is the most irritating 30 seconds I've ever encountered. It is driving me crazy and I will never, ever buy one of those damn things.

  • Av8trix1 Av8trix (@Av8trix1) reported

    @marktewk I saw that. But the likelihood that everyone will have fast broadband in 6 yrs time is unlikely. Also if people can't afford just over £12/month for a TV licence how the hell will they afford broadband connection & a subscription fee. Freeview is the way the poor can watch TV.

  • superwonderstar The Industrious Ant (@superwonderstar) reported

    @kaybar007 Any broadcast service - satellite, cable, or Freeview - has to obey the Ofcom size rules, no matter what technology they use. The examples you give of services like Netflix are online services, not broadcast, and not regulated by Ofcom.

  • TheTennisTalker Chris Goldsmith (@TheTennisTalker) reported

    @ChrisBrownSport @winklepin @BBCiPlayer I am watching on Freeview but my signal is very off and on. The iPlayer much better as goes through my WiFi . Grrrrr annoying

  • returningfromt2 A (@returningfromt2) reported
