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!

  • 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🎅🤶🌲

    @ITVX I wish I could or that Freeview took on this network a lot of us on pensions can't afford satalite or cable

  • 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

    @LGUK Will LG 2020 TV's be receiving Freeview Play? Bought mine only last October and it's awful I only have access to BBC iPlayer and ITV Hub.

  • suzysasha elizabeth scott 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@suzysasha) reported

    @Patricia344130 During the week it's fine but weekend TV is awful. I don't have Netflix etc only Freeview. I sometimes put dvds on of my fav shows. If you live alone there's not much else to do and the TV is company.

  • MildlyHotTakes Ben (@MildlyHotTakes) reported

    @stephenkb I will vote for whatever new party you start to campaign on this issue. Preferably one called "Change (the channel) UK" I'm literally going to spend 20 quid on a freeview box because of this failure of technology. And I will be absolutely indignant about it.

  • askthedood KevyD (@askthedood) reported

    Will @HumaxUK @FreeviewTV record boxes (presume Aura is newest) ever have @netflix app support? Looking for a new Freeview Record box for my dad.

  • DomV3 FreeDom (@DomV3) reported

    @AmyRemeikis Ha FreeView TV on my phone is down. The hackers are busy.

  • TweetHeike_Dino Heike and Dino (@TweetHeike_Dino) reported

    The problem I have with the BAFTAs is that the traditional form of watching television has been eroded over the last years into people who can afford to watch streaming services and Sky for example and folk like me who rely on Freeview for telly programs. Which is rather sad!

  • actiontiff John F Austin GCE "Eng Lang. 0 level" (@actiontiff) reported

    Just watched a 15 minutes on Freeview 81 The AA lads that ran out rescuing broken downs on M'bikes with the tools in the sidecar Happy Days Eh !!

  • angelamonabri54 Angie Mac (@angelamonabri54) reported

    @Steve_Laws_ Home Office Questions today (7th) at 2.30pm, let's wait and see if the immense issues of Channel crossings pops up. If it does it will be the same old questions with the same old answers so we'll be no further forward! Parliament Channel freeview 232

    @davidbicknell1 The little Englanders are about to have their own TV station in a few days time. Why aren't we all donating to someone such as @BylineTV (I am) ? Let's help get them on Freeview, even if it's only just a few hours per day initially
