Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Seaham 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!

  • Oliver_Wok wok (@Oliver_Wok) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @edgarwright @broccantyzack @itv2 Would make for a brilliant friday/saturday/sunday triple header. Would love to break it down into how many times a year they appear on freeview TV

    @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.

    @BritishArmy @HCav1660 An absolute waste of taxpayers money..no need for it at all, unless private funding can be found to finance it all...freeview holiday destination only...scrap it now...stupid ancient uniforms, swords, boots, relics..

    Be careful when trying to cancel Sky TV. I was a customer for 18 years, cancelled TV, kept £25 broadband. They silently added a £10/month charge so that I could 'rewind freeview with my sky box.' Took 15 mins with call centre to get it removed. Stay classy, @SkyHelpTeam

    @FreeviewAU I'm sure you mean well, but if you're not on the east coast, it is ****ing impossible to safely predict when a show might start on any given network on #Freeview. ****ing impossible. #TV #FTA

  • susanna_tayler Susanna Tayler (@susanna_tayler) reported

    @HumaxUK I have an HDR-1800T Freeview recorder and I can't watch the programme I'm recording because there's no sound. Very disappointing. Is there a fix for this?

  • Arsenal0819 Arsenal Mania (@Arsenal0819) reported

    To really bring football back to fans and boot the rich out of football - all matches to be shown on freeview channels I’m sure SKY will support this 🤡

  • Sean7032efc seanefc (@Sean7032efc) reported

    @Tigga1878 @captainfriendz1 @vintage1878 Freeview they said **** all free about it

  • GeoffBrewer Geoff Brewer @RenewParty #FBPE #APPG @MakeVotesMat (@GeoffBrewer) reported

    2/ the EE TV service. What are other formerly happy EE TV clients feeling about and doing about this? Is there any way we can continue to use the EE TV box for receipt, recording Freeview programmes etc ?

  • beylul15 bey (@beylul15) reported

    damn i haven’t watched freeview tv in a while & I don’t know how to feel about that 😭

  • chrisalfw Chris Williams (@chrisalfw) reported

    @PhilWilliams These channels have not said no, they have said they havent been approached as yet. I opposed the creation of the Premier League but i support this Super League. Inevitable it will be on a streaming provider rather than Freeview, Cable or Satellite.

  • 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
