Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Chelmsford 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 😂

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

    @traceyfromrasen @Kavismate @SkySportsRacing @RacingTV My Freeview signal can be hopeless at best even connected to Wi-fi but the HDMI/laptop combo works well when the cat isn’t jumping on it !

    @Deano230 @AlStewartOBE It could have developed with FTA broadcasters as Freeview later did. Other problem is it never recovered financially from Sky switching to free box offer.

  • MellyStark Melly Christmas (@MellyStark) reported

    dodgy freeview signal, torrential rain, blowing a gale outside ... #StormBella hope the roof stays on - it sounds wild out -cant see as the streetlight stopped working last weekend. #Pembrokeshire

    @RyanDrinkwater2 If the TV upstairs is receiving Freeview OK and is running off the same aerial, then it is likely the cabling/connections or splitter. Try a different coaxial cable, or try tuning in the working TV in on this room to see if the issue persists. Thanks.

    @BlckCatBlckSky Yeah, I forgot that’s what Americans call it. We definitely have it but people just call it tv. To be honest since the digital change over most people call it freeview which is the service.

    @FreeviewAdvice Rouncefall transmitter reporting fault since 24/12/20 00:14 with no Freeview signal in this area. Please would you investigate and report fix status, thank you

  • AGRitcovMK2 Adam Ritcov II (@AGRitcovMK2) reported

    Christmas eve - probably one of the worst days for the aerial on the chimney to **** up, leaving us with next to no freeview. Special thanks also go to the wankers @skytv for their appalling customer service as well. Believe in better? Well if that's the alternative, shove it.

    @cheesedoff3 There was films on TV that were in black-and-white over the Christmas films that were 60 years old TV series that was 60 years old they obviously get them for next to nothing can pop them down our throats as soon as my contract is up I’m going Freeview next year

  • twiitterrer The Hon. Padre de Bobby (@twiitterrer) reported

    @salt_veins Instal FreeView on your phone so you can watch tele on it & some well fitting earphones plugged in to block out ALL the noise as hospitals are just SOOO NOISEY & problem solved. If the earphones fit snug, then it doesn't need to be loud. That's what I did. Hospital had free wifi.

  • NorthernLefty Working Class Zero (@NorthernLefty) reported

    I'm not a materialistic person. Got my cream liqueur, got Devil Wears Prada on Freeview (why pay for TV when it's free?!) a roof over my head and the heating on. That is far far greater than many have or will have. Will never understand folks who need the best of the best.
