Freeview Issues Reports Near Burscough, England

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.

  • annmurphy_wigan Ann Murphy (@annmurphy_wigan) reported from Wigan, England

    @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

  • bulldogbyrne julie byrne (@bulldogbyrne) reported from Hindley, England

  • richard__webb Richard Webb (@richard__webb) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @GBNEWS i was so looking forward to it. But… on freeview the picture quality is really poor, sound is out of sync, and just feels like the sets are dark and badly lit. Took my focus away from listening to whats being projected. #GBNews

    @Agrannywhosaid1 Fine by me. Currently the BBC's forced funding model relies on the false claim that "Freeview doesn't support encrypted subscription services".

  • UKtodayUK Real Mike ©️ ↙️ (@UKtodayUK) reported

    I only have Freeview, do movie channels get together and collude over what night they they are screening good films and what nights they show crap ones?

  • mcdonal01 Alan McDonald (@mcdonal01) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. As part of our broadband/phone package we have the small, internet connected, Freeview box. We have problems with the box. It regularly says that channels are not available despite them ok via app and has to be rebooted several times. Can we get replacement?

  • KarlosW Karl Wardlaw (@KarlosW) reported

    @bt_uk Hi on some channels which should be freeview we're getting v poor signal. Have restarted box,retuned channels and checked aerial connection properly all to no avail

  • adventure_ali_ AdventureAli (@adventure_ali_) reported

    Evening tweeps! Got a conundrum - my aerial socket doesn't work and I keep missing the cricket. Freeview app doesn't work on Chromecast and indoor rabbit ears work minimally. What am I supposed to do to get free to air tv? Only option I can think of is stream from phone or lappy

  • lordcapel Huw Williams 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@lordcapel) reported

    @pearcy29_ If you have Freeview go to channel 601 and Radio 5 live is the commentary, no stupid Jenas to ruin the match.

  • SydneyCityTV SydneyCityTV (@SydneyCityTV) reported

    @whophd @meadea @domknight From what I've read, onDigital/ITV Digital was plagued with reception and piracy issues however overbidding for TV rights to a lower division football league was their biggest downfall. Although in a way, the failure of it + the later rise of Freeview was probably a good thing.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @johnmacdonald22 Hi, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview Reception. So, we can investigate this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • johnsouthwales johnsouthwales (@johnsouthwales) reported

    broadband is required for certain TV watching. Built in freeview is not a problem. Sky TV package, bt vision

  • BurnipG Geoff Burnip (@BurnipG) reported

    @itvhubhelp ITV hub will not load on Freeview Play on my Panasonic tv or Humax pvr, is this just double bad luck? Not a smart move from itv as there must be many viewers like me. Will a different pvr play through my tv, if so which one.
