@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.

@skindeep1956 @TheNorthernEcho Absolutely agree with you, I've phoned Freeview, TV Licence, even Arqiva, & just constantly getting fobbed off by people who don't have a clue. 8 weeks now with no TV services at all! Bilsdale mast fire caused by overloading a 52 year old transmitter & poor maintenance!

@cordbusters Its because if you actually look what sky offer now is very poor in view if content , with the streaming apps like discovery plus , disney etc the content on sky is poor and look at what they charge . Mostly re runs of old rubbish , just go freeview

@LQcontactus No problem. Thanks for replying to me. No she doesn't have satellite TV. She just has non satellite freeview, and according to them there are no problems on their end.

@gnomeicide IIRC there is one big service not on Roku but I forget which. And you meant Freeview not Freeserve a few posts ago. Freeserve was bought and merged repeatedly and ended up with EE.

@Markylad29 @boxhits @4Music Unfortunately for now it isn’t permanent, just a back up as 4Music is still off air following issues at Red Bee Media… but you never know, Box Plus may see the interest in having a second channel on Freeview
