@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!

@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.

@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.

@DJack_Journo It wasn't just action & adventure films made during the 1950s & '60s that were set during the second world war, but countless comedies too. Dora Bryan & Irene Handl were in many of them as canteen tea ladies or similar. I believe they're still shown on Freeview. Awful tripe.

@gareth0108 We don't even get 4G or any mobile signal, so not an issue. (Or Freeview, DAB etc.)

@jasonpwalk @Talesofanalfa I would expect you'll need a freesat decoder / set top box at each TV to interpret the signal. It's slightly different from FreeView which the TV may well have a built in digital tuner for, but will expect a tuning signal from on the RF port.

@arjoll @paulbrislen Too much distance and crap in the way, LoS is really bad due to terrain and trees. Can't even get Freeview HD - have to use the crap satellite version lol. Literally in my IT nightmare hellscape geographically. Gaming on ADSL2+ is painful, gaming + streaming = nogo.

@LGUKCare Hello, I need some help tuning my TV for Freeview etc. I've tried a few times (and I have a digital aerial) without success. Also trying to update the various apps and that's not working either (the TV is connected to my WiFi).
