Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Burscough 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.

    Why do I keep paying for TV service which is shit @BTGroup I get better service on indoor freeview aerial

  • 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 ****.....

  • 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!!

    @Porrohman @ClaireJHartnell @jamiebglover And if you genuinely don't use the freeview TV service, never see any BBC content etc etc, then you don't have to pay. Idiot.

    @jonholmes1 @Aiannucci If the BBC is great, it will have no trouble getting subscribers, what are you afraid of? Why force say pensioners or the poor to pay a regressive tax? They may be happy with FreeView, why should they be forced into paying for the BBC if they don't want it?

  • ChrisLew300 🅲🅷🆁🅸🆂 (@ChrisLew300) reported

    @jamiebglover When ITV had the DVB franchise, OnDigital they charged a subscription fee to use it. When it failed the BBC took it over and GAVE us Freeview and they continue to maintain the transmitter network. This also allowed the government to sell off the analog frequencues for mobiles.

  • JeffTrainer3 Jeff Trainer (@JeffTrainer3) reported

    @Uptotherewithit @TVSanjeev Well that stuff is paid for so just strip the woke crap & run World Service type news & all the old programs on Freeview, but not funded by a Licence Fee or the taxpayer. All other sport, comedy, films, etc can go on Advert or subscription model, and that pays for the former!

  • WayneMarriott8 Wayne Marriott (@WayneMarriott8) reported

    @theninetyninep1 @cononeilluk @luckyma_man Only problem with that argument is you assume elderly people ONLY watch bbc, itv, ch4, ch5.. I know many where I live in the peak park (where terrestrial reception is poor , even freeview is difficult ) who already subscribe to sky some even have Netflix ..so it’s nothing new

  • PCarmichaelVO Paul Carmichael (@PCarmichaelVO) reported

    @John__Northants @LucyMPowell maintenance of the Freeview transmitters and even help the security services via BBC Monitoring? Talk Radio? 🙄

  • BillboBilleric1 BillboBillericay (@BillboBilleric1) reported

    @JuliaHB1 The BBC is not a public service and therefore should not be funded through a form of taxation. 80 plus channels available on Freeview that are not funded by the taxpayer, but I am not allowed to watch them unless I pay the BBC tax.

  • stansmith1970 Stan Smith (@stansmith1970) reported

    @CAA_Official Most of the defund the BBC tossers would happily cite "Only fools & horses" as their favourite comedy. They also seem to fail to recognise the Freeview channels they watch and it's infrastructure are provided in part by the BBC whilst they are sat watching BBC repeats on 'Dave'

  • MrSammyJames Sammy James (@MrSammyJames) reported

    @BerishaShow But if it's a subscription service there would be no reason to keep those prohibitively expensive stations going. They would chase profits like any other business. Also, please tell me how subscription freeview TV / FM radio could work from a technical point of view?
