Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Brentwood 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 😂

  • themib Martin Bentley, AKA Martin Bentley (@themib) reported from London, England

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

  • uptownclub Franky uptownclub (@uptownclub) reported from Harlow, England

    @Virgin how do I go about leaving Virgin because I'm paying roughly £63.50 a month for a phone that I never use only to ring you up when there's a problem.. most of my viewing is on Freeview now and I have Amazon HD fire stick and Netflix account

  • RobKerr32 Rob Kerr - I'm NOT a Robot (@RobKerr32) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @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 !

  • adrianatkins196 adrian atkins (@adrianatkins196) reported from Crayford, England

    Time for the BBC to close down the BBCNews channel as they always seem to put it on BBC1 at same time WHY as BBCNews is available on sky freesat and freeview you dont need it on BBC1

  • uk12345 ken (@uk12345) reported from Romford, England

    @bt_uk I got a problem it's not my fault and it's not BT issue I lost a lot of Freeview channels in my flat I went to no cancel and said you can have a dish because aerials are very bad in your area where you live we've had a lot of people coming to us about the same problem

  • Shelle02 Michelle Hedley 💙 (@Shelle02) reported

    @LeeYates82 @virginmedia It is the same issue on the sky and freeview /freesat platforms. No subtitles on any of the 12 channel 4 channels and issues with BBC and Channel 5.

  • AdamLKimbler Adam Kimbler (@AdamLKimbler) reported

    Has anyone attempted to use FreeSurfers freeview for Voxel/Recon edit on WSLg? I'm having issues where the pop-out menus just refuse to respond to input #neuroscience #freesurfer #NeuroTwitter

  • mylifeinwordsuk Lee-Mc (@mylifeinwordsuk) reported

    @virginmedia Just checked my bill, you are adding £24 a month, when I have zero usage on phone, basic 100mb fibre and basic mixit TV package which is paramount to freeview, sorry not getting fleeced by you, when you aren’t even providing a half decent service

  • Jack_Nelligan Jack Nelligan 🇮🇪 (@Jack_Nelligan) reported

    Channel 4, E4, More4 and Film4 all have no information available about the programs they currently air on Freeview. Possibly as a result of the tech issues?

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    It's like Christmas Eve, September 30th so tomorrow is 1st October or as I like to think "Early October" when #Freeview says we will once again after 2 months of no TV signal it will return (apparently 5th to be precise)...not holding my breath Will signal be back doubt it

  • dancardwell Dan Cardwell (@dancardwell) reported

    @virginmedia @annmarienoble23 @annmarie Virgin Media, the problem is that subtitles work on adverts but not on the programmes. Been like this all week. Problem is at channel 5's end as it occurs on Freeview too!

  • planet_leesti Words of Planet Leesti (@planet_leesti) reported

    @Traceyspacey1 Odd. Tho. In the olde days when I had Freeview in the house, a) the Freeview folks were surprised I could get it at all for where i was, but b) we picked up a transmitter near Scunthorpe. I never got local radio at all, it was always Yorkshire based. So definitely consistent!

  • mal1eto Stuart Ross (@mal1eto) reported

    @TelegraphRugby @GavinMairs Wtf. No Freeview coverage. Channel 5, channel 4, l ITV, it's all going ppv wrong wrong wrong!
