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

  • slipperboots SlipperBoots (@slipperboots) reported

    @cromers It’s been so poor that I’ve watched stuff on DVD & iPlayer as well as replays on freeview channels over the festive period. Not to mention audiobooks and podcasts.

  • bradley_steve Steve Bradley (@bradley_steve) reported

    @james__love @Dr_Eoin_Malcolm @Aontaithe2021 They wouldn't be able to geoblock the Freeview signal in Derry though. It's too near the border/Republic for that. It's easy to block on Sky, because they know exactly which jurisdiction cards are registered in.

  • Scoutdwriter Scout Dawson (@Scoutdwriter) reported

    @TimHoelscherX They likely mean cable or network TV, which when you think about it, is accurate. I don't watch TV (I don't have Freeview set up, nor do I have Sky, TiVO or Virgin Cable etc) but I do have Netflix/Prime, which are websites/apps.

  • Steve_p_photos Steve's Photos - Still firmly European (@Steve_p_photos) reported

    @ScottishJill Oooohhh. I'd better see if I can find that. Mind you, the freeview signal is kind of rubbish here.

  • angelneptustar angie (@angelneptustar) reported

    @Gina09768111 @BorisJohnson @euronews Will check if #Euronews is on freeview. Because right now EU in much much worse state than us poor people, they have no vaxes , nor are ppl going to get them. Holland in lockdown, France health system buckling, ditto Germany Hungary, Italy, et al!

  • angelneptustar angie (@angelneptustar) reported

    @Gina09768111 In the UK, Euronews is available, together with a number of other international news channels, via online video subscription service NewsPlayer+ and alongside Africanews on Freeview channel 271 via the Channelbox free streaming service. Try this!!! xxx

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    Of course the weather has changed and with it the signal from Freeview's temporary mast has yet again changed. Went from all the BBC channels and 6 other channels (no ITV/C4), Then as the warmer weather moved northwards we lost all the BBC channels and after a retune got the 6

  • CasualFisher DJ (@CasualFisher) reported

    @LGUKCare are you gonna bring Freeview Play to the 2020 TVs considering it’s available again on the 2021 sets? Really is a poor showing that All4 is still unavailable on the 2020 models
