    @Samantha_J_Rea Hmm not to sure about freeview but definitely freesat it’s been taken off for over a year. Probably the same though. Sucks big time. Anyway. Hope you are well.

  • 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 😂

    Interesting, I signed up to a forum account on Digitalspy forums and had to wait for an admin to authorise it, but the account ended up being deleted 24 hours later. All I wanted to do was make a thread to query about a freeview transmitter issue. Incompetent mods. .@digitalspy

  • Mdreadedtwit The Dreaded Fox (@Mdreadedtwit) reported

    Bad news: Bilsdale transmitter down due to fire meaning 1 million homes will not get freeview TV services... Good news: This means they will miss 'Love Island'...Every cloud etc; #wednesdaythought #Bilsdale

  • KeyworkerMan Yorkshire-man (@KeyworkerMan) reported

    @thestrayferret Bad news cos Freeview is a much sharper picture than the dark dull picture thru SKY satelite! Also there is no TFM radio in my car but Radio York is available!

  • scraggytees nigel teece (@scraggytees) reported

    @8252Hazel Nope and as the transnitter is down only on DAB radio .... Nothing else ... I think if you download the Freeview app they have BBC tees on it ...not sure if it will work when game time comes

  • geeemac George M (@geeemac) reported

    @PhilipsCare_UK had great customer service from you guys in the past, but the problem constantly comes back. ‘Playback failed’ on iplayer, 4od.. all freeview channels, to the point where I can’t use my tv as a tv. And yes, have reset everything, it’s the latest software, etc etc

  • Teuchter86 Kevin Morrison (@Teuchter86) reported

    @FloydTweet Doesn't your TV have Freeview built in? Thought they all came like that now, plus check your "sources" on the tv as that may be an issue

  • GerryCarpenter3 Gerry Carpenter (@GerryCarpenter3) reported from Sunderland, England

    @Claire_Pickard @sueashton3000 Many residents in Sunderland & along the Durham Coast also receive Freeview Channels from the Bilsdale transmitter. The fire is also likely to have knocked out about 30 relay stations, which "feed" on signals from Bilsdale. I wouldn't like to climb up the transmitter to fix it!

  • gazzaeuro Gary Spence (@gazzaeuro) reported

    BBC One SD is working on Freeview but isn't BBC One HD the Bilsdale signal is weak and unstable. But the picture just went off. P.S. The English regional programmes won't be in HD until next year. #Bilsdale

  • Joe__Monty Joe (@Joe__Monty) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    Looks like freeview is down across Teesside. No TV or radio signal..

    @leemurphy100 It has gone ****. The boxes are old and clunky, they make you take Now tv subscriptions for more channels (which suits me but I already have the app so out came the talktalk box). I'd rather they just did phone and broadband rather than charge for a glorified freeview box.
