    @BoostTorbay @AndrewBrazier1 Never used the first two options. Very much old school. None of the fancy pants Sky or Virgin Media either. Just plain old Freeview for me

    Looks like freeview is down across Teesside. No TV or radio signal..

  • gazzaeuro Gary Spence (@gazzaeuro) reported

    BBC One SD is working on Freeview but BBC One HD isn't, the Bilsdale signal is weak and unstable. But the picture just went off. P.S. The English regional programmes won't be in HD until next year. #Bilsdale

  • 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!

    @a516digital I've been living over 3 years now without the right freeview, due to my location. I think your find BBC services are better than ITV when it comes to reception issues,

  • Pmac2k Peter McGeever (@Pmac2k) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Fortunately my TV has freesat. Freeview play is terrible and you can't easily watch live TV on it. I fear I may have turned to the dark side forever

  • justwatching87 Des yeux en ligne (@justwatching87) reported

    @leemurphy100 It has gone ****. The boxes are old and clunky, they make you take Now tv subscriptions for more channels (which suits me but I already have the app so out came the talktalk box). I'd rather they just did phone and broadband rather than charge for a glorified freeview box.

  • Jayna63042831 Whimsical-BikerChick (@Jayna63042831) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice My sister is severely affected, she has absolutely no signal at all, not everyone has freeview play etc, can you not devert signel to other masts?

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @WendyM53 @Freeview Hi, Due to unforeseen circumstances the Bilsdale transmitter is currently not transmitting due to a large fire. The emergency services are onsite and once cleared the engineers will access the transmitter to resolve the issue. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

  • J_P_Quin James Quin (@J_P_Quin) reported

    Well ****. The Bilsdale TV transmitter that serves the North Yorkshire region is currently on fire. So that means no Freeview telly until the problem is sorted out.

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    Still the ******* transmitter is down #Freeview is ****, imagine only having one aerial on top of a wind swept Moor, I mean what could possibly go wrong🤔
