Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Seaham and nearby locations:

  • 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.

  • 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

    @Independent I swore off sky a few years ago and switched to a Freeview recording box plus the usual apps and I've never regretted it.

  • EmmaLovelace Emma Lovelace (@EmmaLovelace) reported

    All channels on Freeview are unwatchable at the moment. Been like that for a few days, terrible service.

  • TomMaxwell11 Tom Maxwell (@TomMaxwell11) reported

    @AnnalisaB Don't confine yourself to new crap Christmas films, Annalisa -check out 'Great Movies Christmas' at Channel 52 on Freeview, which usually starts its Christmas season in early November. There's enough Christmas dross on there, 24 hours a day, to last you two braindead lifetimes!😳

  • UKtodayUK Real Mike ©️ ↙️ (@UKtodayUK) reported

    I only have Freeview, do movie channels get together and collude over what night they they are screening good films and what nights they show crap ones?

  • KateADale 🏳️‍🌈 Kate A Dale Archivist🤍 (@KateADale) reported

    @CLC_1000 @NOWMusic Because things are never on Freeview, my theory is they are trying to faze it out and trying to get everyone to switch to Sky and Virgin and stuff to get extra money

  • canispeaktodave canispeaktodave (@canispeaktodave) reported

    The bitrate of ITV4 on Freeview is so bad the feed must be being streamed from a 56k modem.

  • LockpickMind LockpickMind 🆓 (@LockpickMind) reported

    @Raymond82310289 Time to send that **** back, people... use freeview and online streaming services that you can stomach using.

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @ZillionaireArt @freesat_tv It is just Freeview and online for now. We are always looking at updating and growing the service and will continue to do so whenever possible.

  • lordcapel Huw Williams 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@lordcapel) reported

    @pearcy29_ If you have Freeview go to channel 601 and Radio 5 live is the commentary, no stupid Jenas to ruin the match.

  • WombleReturns Womble Returns💙 (@WombleReturns) reported

    @IPhillips79 Reminds me of some of the really awful Hot Gossip routines from the Kenny Everett Video Show (on repeat on Freeview #7 these days)
