Freeview Issues Reports Near South Shields, England

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in South Shields and nearby locations:

  • 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!

  • AddingRandomWit Adam Widdrington (@AddingRandomWit) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @bigpapablu @itvfootball I don’t have a sky or freeview box! I stream everything and have very good internet so it’s never an issue haha

  • JonnyRoLi JR (@JonnyRoLi) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

    If we're in lock down for another 3 weeks, I really feel the #sonyChristmasChannel should be put back on #freeview...Will keep people in the house ( okay, it'll easily keep me in the house🎅🤶🌲

    @almostoneword @GBNEWS They’re using a freeview muxed channel, sharing a single SD channels bandwidth with other stations to save money. The audio is also terrible and out of sync.

  • wubands2 wubands2 (@wubands2) reported

    @HTScotPol 1) Make sure your microphone works... 2) we also can hear the production team chatting on the iPad feed..... while Neil Olivers Mike failed 3) Freeview 236 sound not in sync with video.... 4) iPad feed is 30seconds behind live, time wrong 50% of time! Not 1 issue..4 gremlins

  • Cerb32 Cerb32 (@Cerb32) reported

  • GoodJohn67 John Middleton (@GoodJohn67) reported

    @GBNEWS has just started give it your support Freeview 236

  • Janela_X Jane Lax - proud of Scotland, SNP are not Scotland (@Janela_X) reported

  • chall060 Chall60 ⭐️🥛🌸 (@chall060) reported

    @colinbrazierGBN We can’t get it on our NI freeview. Anyone else having this problem? Can get it on the website though. Good luck!

  • twitdwood David Woodley (@twitdwood) reported

    @afneil sync problems on Freeview

  • timrollpickerin Tim Roll-Pickering (@timrollpickerin) reported

    @Liv_Lever @GBNEWS And my broadband is down. I hope @GBNews is on a Freeview frequency that can cope with hot weather (looking at you BBC).

  • robotmaths RobotMaths (@robotmaths) reported

    Oh dear. GB News is having problems with their microphones. (cheap jibe: they appear to be working). No, Neil Oliver faded out mid gammon diatribe. Most of all, everyone looks REALLY embarrassed to be there. They keep referring to "mainstream media" as if they weren't on FREEVIEW

  • terryphi Terry Phillips (@terryphi) reported

    @GBNEWS Not available on Freeview in some rural areas with signal from local relay transmitters. These have limited range of channels and GB News is not included.
