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

  • Robbo72uk Andy Roberts (@Robbo72uk) reported from Southport, England

    Virgin tv and broadband gone down yet again. Resorting to Freeview right now. The picture quality is actually much better than Virgin...AND no glitches and constant picture breakup!!

  • 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..

  • johnworthy27 john worthington (@johnworthy27) reported from Preston, England

    @chloesammike @andywigmore @KayBurley Don't worry you can still get Sky news on channel 132 on your Freeview box. Thick ****.....

  • karlmcintyre Karl McIntyre (@karlmcintyre) reported from St Helens, England

  • DecAppear Dylan Canning (@DecAppear) reported

    @rtenews Plenty of alternative channels on the UK freeview service, for anyone who's not interested.

  • KKMUFC2020 Kyri (@KKMUFC2020) reported

    @Wheely73 @bendirs1 Of course...if you have sky or wherever. I read somewhere that the majority of homes in UK don’t even have freeview, never mind sky/cable. What about those folks?

  • Sootyskye Sootyskye (@Sootyskye) reported

    Hi @itvstudios @channel5_tv @Channel4. What happened? Poor DVB signal yesterday then it stopped. Still no channels 3, 4 & 5 on freeview (ch26) today but HD is ok. LB of Havering isn’t the most difficult to broadcast to.

  • ShowerAbsolute Absolute Shower (Will) (@ShowerAbsolute) reported

    @olibradley @DAaronovitch @stephenpollard Except Channel 4, all the Freeview stations and every on demand service yes, and plenty of commercial radio stations.

  • graham_jbramley graham j bramley 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 (@graham_jbramley) reported

    Why did #BBC cancel their whole entertainment channels' schedules for Phillip on Friday? All viewers including freeview have access to News24 which is unashamedly loaded with fear and agendas. I thought the remit included entertainment at all times?

  • jamespdrury James Drury (@jamespdrury) reported

    @hmd_db @TraceyRBurns @michaeljswalker Completely untrue, Freeview (the bare minimum TV service without internet or dish) carries far more than BBC channels and Channel 4. The inability to use ones TV is not the BBCs fault.

  • CreativeCatFX Lucy Crewe 🎬😷💙 (@CreativeCatFX) reported

    Freeview somehow manages to pull me away from my workspace, whatever’s been going on. You lot must have this same problem too? Animationisamarathonnotasprint

  • GFan1969 Jim (@GFan1969) reported

    @larmstrong98 @Kevin_Maguire I do NOT believe you do not have cable, SKY or Freeview, so you have plenty of channels to choose from. Have some damn respect!

  • wirvine56 William Irvine (@wirvine56) reported

    @janicecelticsmp @micheloola 1 of the apps ive got, you can download freeview channels. the catch is you have to log/sign in, thats b/c bbc is included. you cannot get all these freeview channels only b/c of the bbc. you should have a option to delete the bbc from the list.

  • PabloAllelli Pablo Allelli (@PabloAllelli) reported

    @GaryinScotland @mandapen Where can't you get Freeview? I can't get all the Freeview channels as I'm about as far away from a transmitter as you can get in the UK, and its not helped by my rubbish aerial, but I can still get at least a couple of dozen channels, even on a bad atmospherics day.
