Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Houghton-Le-Spring and nearby locations:

  • AddingRandomWit Adam Widdrington (@AddingRandomWit) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @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.

  • 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

    @FreeviewAdvice 21:15 5th July, no Freeview service on my Smart TV. Error msg 'not available. Other streaming services (Youtube, Prime and Netflix) all operating perfectly so not a problem with internet connection

  • RaxM__ RaxM (@RaxM__) reported

    As TV signals changed to digital, you either have a @FreeviewTV integrated TV or need to use a freeview box on an older TV. Why does @BBCNews have to interrupt @Wimbledon on the hour? If you want to watch the national news, go to the BBC news channel which has the same content

    @GitGrumpygit Simple, CANCEL IT & use Freeview. Any organisation that shafts me that I can do without, gets cancelled and/or switched.

  • HolylandCulchie Holylands Culchie (@HolylandCulchie) reported

    @EamonHegarty I literally watched the match on Freeview via NI and check on my phone too. I was able to stream it via both the RTÉ player app and website. We have Virgin media and a ****** indoor aerial and even it picks up RTÉ Freeview signal.

  • Louie54330836 Louie (@Louie54330836) reported

    Stop paying for a licence which still sounds **** up, paying to watch freeview #bbc #DefundTheBBC

  • Canis63 Old Nick.💙 (@Canis63) reported

    Hmm, loads of my freeview channels are nothing but fuzzy static but the HD versions are fine. Anyone else got that problem?

  • Hiltonblackdick Richard Hilton (@Hiltonblackdick) reported

    @virginmedia cannot watch any great sport because TV signal is down AGAIN, watching freeview now not the same but no doubt you will take full fee next month!

  • JamesHailey1 Jimmy Tweets (@JamesHailey1) reported from Weymouth, England

    Apparently the guy with the goatie in Eastenders isn't Beppie....Is Wicksey still in it ? Not watched this trash in 20 years but Mrs H has put it on because we are down to Freeview...I want to slash my wrists 10 minutes in....How do you watch this garbage @Shana_Banana_44 ?!
