Freeview Issues Reports Near Houghton-Le-Spring, England

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

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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.

    @MartinSLewis We have only used a Now TV stick for the last 3 years. Recently got the ariel lead so as to watch freeview. What a load of crap on all these channels. Just full of repeats. No wonder streaming services are doing so well.

    @GBNEWS My parents are nearly 70. They do not want and will never get the Internet apart from on their phones. Their TV in the bedroom broke but they still use freeview boxes. Try to buy a new 40" TV that doesn't need the internet.. its impossible. Telly really is dead already..

  • ahappystitcher Sally-Jane 💙💛🌻 (@ahappystitcher) reported

    @DianeHaywood71 I know. Our lounge TV doesn't work without WiFi as the internal freeview box dies ages ago and we have to use a firestick for that. It's never ending this no WiFi lark ... 🙄

  • JohnTurner2021 John Turner (@JohnTurner2021) reported

    @MiserygutsPetty Because of the temperature. Hot temps and high pressure will **** a Freeview signal without even buying it a drink first.

  • francophile2004 Rosalind Peacock (@francophile2004) reported

    @cindyclareb @nedboulting ps get yourself a Freesat/Freeview box from Amazon. About £30. Works a treat...

  • explodingwalrus Carl Draper (@explodingwalrus) reported

    Kerrang video on Freeview seem to play the same **** all the damn time. Paramore sound like a pop group pretending to be rock

  • BigGoonerMal Mal McGar (@BigGoonerMal) reported

    @hitinman ALWAYS issues with Freeview, they just tell you to retune 3 or 4 times then say you equipment is at fault. Never their bad service!

  • John_R_Cochrane John Cochrane (@John_R_Cochrane) reported

    Just asking. How come there is no 9pm news on any Freeview channel? 9pm used to be the main news of the day. The nearest that I can find is BBC "The Context". WTF? I may be getting old but why would I be interested in watching something called "The Context"?

  • SandraToFriends Alexandria the Scot. (@SandraToFriends) reported

    @wearyprovo Can you cancel online I hate the phone because they put you through to other ppl, I want to stop mine to, I never watch it any more, except sky news and you get that on freeview.

  • swinksnz Logan Swinkels 🎙🏒🎮 (@swinksnz) reported

    @AndrewP32596916 @ESPNAusNZ Otherwise, the game is also on Māori TV. I don’t have Freeview, so the ESPN app using a Sky Go login is the only way.
