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!

  • 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.

    @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

  • aquablu Nicola (@aquablu) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    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🎅🤶🌲

    @Blissbooster I've switch to normal Freeview.. fine now, deffo a Virgin issue.

  • StuartDillon1 Stuart Dillon #COYI (@StuartDillon1) reported

    @jonesy_nb I liked Norway's. I was watching it on Freeview but I've lost the signal so watching it on iplayer as well

  • JAQKpanda ♦♠JAQK♥♣🐼Vtuber! (@JAQKpanda) reported

    @KatiKnitt That really sucks. We have the TV license here in the UK, but if you don't actually consume "live TV" (BBC, freeview, live sports, etc.) then you don't actually have to pay for it; in my case, all I use is YT, Twitch & stream subs. Shocking and aggravating that you're forced to!

    cool freeview signal better.. #Eurovision2022

  • Bicycle_Nuts Bicycle Nuts (@Bicycle_Nuts) reported

    @JohnBalley1 Young people don't watch broadcast TV, so it's nothing to do with you getting old. BTW I cancelled my liscence because the freeview signal is so bad. I hardly know anyone who wastes money on a TV liscence these days.

  • adamhunt1984 adam hunt (@adamhunt1984) reported

    @FreeviewTV my freeview has gone down

  • Kazza6900 Karen 🧙🔮💜🕊 (@Kazza6900) reported

    @LuckyLu31582986 @virginmedia Switched over to freeview and having no problems at all. I was thinking it was @virginmedia problems

  • andythelodge andy (@andythelodge) reported from Clifton, England

    @333peterobinson I've had nothing but problems viewing @RacingTV since they made me have @amazon Firestick due to no longer available on freeview

  • Stephen_Neal Stephen Neal (@Stephen_Neal) reported

    @nigelwUK @MatthewMarks42 @bobdvb Odd. It must be doing a 5.1->2.0 PCM fold-down rather than a 5.1 PCM output I guess. There is no stereo on Freeview HD when 5.1 is being broadcast. (On satellite there is a parallel stereo audio description feed)

  • dook42_domini Dook 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🇳🇿 (@dook42_domini) reported

    freeview has been largely unwatchable for months since they took off the 5G bands for mobile networks... let alone with atmospheric issue today.. only channel which seems reasonable at the moment is @horror_channel
