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.

    @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

    Watching Porridge on Freeview classic 70’s BBC comedy brilliantly funny and clever comedy . Such a difference to all the dumbed down American television served up on Netflix these days

  • MMendoza2021 Miguel. (@MMendoza2021) reported

    @dougmcfarlane41 @Freeview @TheNorthernEcho Still poor signal in Middlesbrough too.

  • dlisterphoto Lister (@dlisterphoto) reported

    @arqiva One of my TV’s will see some of the multiplexes… The freeview box connected to the same socket wll see some of the same channels, but not all… my other TV will see about 16 channels (none of the main ones)… Feels like the signal power is nothing like what it was before…

    @louisebentley10 I've never seen and I missed it if it came up on Freeview. It never seems to air on Freeview now. I don't subscribe to paid services/streaming. I wish whatever channel aired it would show it again.

  • giantjossy giantjossy (@giantjossy) reported

    @TeessideLive TS1 few channels no-one watches,black screen or blocky,even after Freeview twitter account says we should be getting normal service....done all the in/out aerial retunes,fresh install etc....BULLSHIT COMPANY TELLING YOU A PACK OF LIES EVERY TIME.

    @ScrumptiousBlue Ahh OK, I just don't want my account deleted so that's a bit reassuring - thanks. Been asking them for help for 10 days but they won't reply, no idea why. Dr Pimple Popper - isn't that on Freeview?

  • CllrGaryMalcolm Cllr Gary Malcolm 🔶️🌈 (@CllrGaryMalcolm) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Food Network (channel 42) has mysteriously disappeared from my TV. Tried retuning and still won't reappear. Is this a Freeview issue/ do I just have to be patient and wait? Thank you.

  • KeyworkerMan Yorkshire-man (@KeyworkerMan) reported

    @TheNorthernEcho Almost full service restored! 122 Freeview channels stored after retuning my TV! In my car however, the TFM signal is still too weak to use! So its the end of listening to TFM radio in Harrogate!

    @MMendoza2021 @Freeview @TheNorthernEcho Poor or non?
