@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!

@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.

@TheTwistedApe @Mike_Fabricant @GBNEWS In order to see it, you can watch on Sky, Virgin, Freeview, YouTube and via the app. Are you suggesting it cannot be watched because SFH tried to cancel it via advertisers? This argument makes no sense.

@belperite Hi. Good question. The satellite feed is broadcast in DVB-S. It has to be converted into a DVB-T multiplex using a modulator so that Freeview devices can receive it. The solution for ITV/C4 and C5 means they can use a similar system to that used in hotels and ships, no encoder.

@dimwittedly @Forces_TV A retune should fix it. On Freeview the programme map changes from time to time, and it can cause you to lose channels. So you need to retune, to keep the "map" up-to-date.

Well, that's one way of clearing the 16 films on my Freeview recorder... After almost 10 years of good service it died today, taking the recorded films with it. Just ordered a replacement (and a new stereo to replace the 22 year old one that keeps skipping when playing CDs)

@aj__lmao It being a Friday night and on freeview TV doesn’t help either, but it’s definitely largely down to the mood following the last 3 games.

Well TV has gone off again. We had BBC and ITV for a few days but that has gone now. Message from Freeview to say the 28th when all was due to back to normal will not happen due to an access issue with the land owner. Will we get a refund on our TV licence? #Bilsdalesbuggered

It is turning into quite a successful week for “terrible films I love” popping up on niche Freeview channels. Tonight on channel 33 (if I can get it) - Matthew McConaghay vs a dragon that is mainly offscreen for what we can only assume were budget reasons. #reignoffire
