@NYorksPolice This is obviously a hang over from the Bilsdale transmitter problems. As far as I am aware, Harrogate has good Freeview coverage now. If not from Bilsdale, then from one of two temporary relays set up by Arqiva.

@BuddyGB Will watch that on IPlayer. Technical issues with Bilsdale mast means signal is not strong enough for my Freeview PVR to use its two tuners to record more than one programme at a time. Frustrating.

@PCarmichaelVO @NadineDorries BBC does NOT maintain Freeview network. That is Arqiva. BBC in partnership with other PSB broadcasters own Freeview. They, like other broadcaster pay carriage charges to Arqiva.

@dannysavage @yorkshireladtv It's channels that are text services, teletext holidays is one, or use the Internet to show programmes that are not transmitted over the Freeview UHF network.

@scottygb Shouldn't be any shunt on Freeview either as 7 was never reallocated.

The 80m temporary mast at Bilsdale has blown down. So no @Freeview. We did tell them it gets windy up there.

@dannysavage Not everywhere. Parts of Ripon, Thirsk and Harrogate still have very little or no signal. Freeview and Arqiva are on the case. Temporary relay being planned in next 14 days.

@FreeviewAdvice Hi there. I know this is not your issue but someone i know wants to get RTE Irish tv in northern ireland but only a couple of channels are coming through. What can she do to pick them all up? Are some Irish channels on UK Freeview also?

@BBCSport Why are there not more channels available on the BBC to watch the Olympics? Freeview channel 601 isn't even available in HD. It's very poor already.

@GeorgeBollands @gemoore83 @BBCSport Ok… I have Now tv so don’t think I can get that but I’ll have a look. My regular freeview is crap as I don’t have an aerial, only have internet streamed TV.

@FreeviewAdvice Hi, I’m struggling to get a consistent signal when watching BBC One and BBC Two on my Freeview box. I even retuned my box and changed regions and that hasn’t solved the problem. Could you please look into if BBC transmitters are experiencing issues? Thank you.

@JackPittBrooke Going on to the Super League, would those owners have wanted games on the BBC or another Freeview channel? They might even have considered a Super League version of MOTD too much content not to put on their own streaming service or in a very expensive TV contract

@NorgeChester Worst timing! Can’t you just watch on Freeview?

Phil's Train and Retro Life
(@FactsStomp) reported
@dramachannel The trouble is the general bit rate and 540x544 resolution are so poor on Freeview that even the adverts and trailers frequently look like they are being played from a badly worn VHS tape, add archive material to that and it becomes a blocky detail free mess.

@SooksThe @GBNEWS Deffo ,👍 we can get it on the main TV through virgin but can't watch on bedroom tv on freeview as signal is from a relay mast. Luckily it's a smart tv so can get YouTube. Great news.
