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!

  • Christi34653250 Christine Scott (@Christi34653250) reported from Longbenton, England

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

  • AddingRandomWit Adam Widdrington (@AddingRandomWit) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @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

  • 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.

  • 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🎅🤶🌲

    Gutted that I had to cancel Virgin Media — I couldn’t afford it this month and can’t afford a proper Freeview box to record shows! I hate being skint

  • hozspur Global Fitness Solutions (@hozspur) reported

    @laazarini7 @pokeefe1 I didn't even bother watching that **** on MNF yesterday. Guessing Neville and Carragher won't be renewing their fat new contracts out of protest and that the Carabao Cup Final will now be on freeview

  • CatAmongPages CatAmongThePages 💙 (@CatAmongPages) reported

    Apparently the BBC et al have pledged millions to Freeview to invest in the service. Sorry, pledged MILLIONS (it's a tabloid headline). That's lovely but personally I'd just like a digital signal. It's been over a year now. There will be no licence fee payment this year. Nope.

  • DSheight DwightSheight (@DSheight) reported

    @SamanthaMalin When we're over in Spain we've got a Freeview box with only about 8 or 9 channels that actually work. It's bliss. And we wind up watching stuff we never normally would in the UK with our 20 million Sky channels & Netflix. It really takes the pressure off so I get that totally.

  • DanC1arke Dan Clarke (@DanC1arke) reported

    @JujuliaGrace @GBNEWS “Coming soon to Freeview Channel 236”. It looks like they are already relegated to the Bermuda Triangle area of the programme guide alongside RT, Belarus News Network,...

  • BoroPessimist Marcus (@BoroPessimist) reported

    @longman751y2 @Paul_Coull87 @SkySportsNews Exactly the Championship has had big well supported clubs in it and the highlights are on some nothing freeview channel, and the live games get awful figures on sky. Without the big clubs the remaining leagues and clubs will die. Let them get the proportional revenue they deserve

  • H_MOORE4 Hugh (@H_MOORE4) reported

    @SBunching I disagree, more football is available to watch than ever but virtually none is on free to air. 1st Prem game I watched live was actually in a stadium, we didn’t have Sky in my house so I never had the opportunity. I became a fan through FA cup and champs league games on freeview

  • Nixed81 Nicholas O (@Nixed81) reported

    @FreeSports_TV Very up and down signal here in Buckinghamshire on freeview.

  • brianwinteruk Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported

    601 on Freeview and 981 on Freesat. BBC Red Button. You can watch the military personnel marching into positions for the funeral service.

  • Davidp1103 Davidp (@Davidp1103) reported from Gravesend, England

    @Complyorcry @Back_Two_Mee To @TalkTalk they are okay but the broadband is not a good as VM but it's okay; it cut the monthly bill in half. I have since dropped their tv service and bought a freeview recorder. Monthly bill for broadband/phone £38
