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

  • 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.

  • 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!

    @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

  • 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

    @petercrouch BBC1 is HD on Freeview, which is free, and it's also the first channel. Sky is the problem, not BBC!

  • sophiejdalston ///expired ferrania/// 📸 (@sophiejdalston) reported

    @AllieDocious @SloaneFragment Freeview boxes still work I think so that would enable a digital signal to be played on an analogue tv, but the question is how they connected it.

  • Napos2005 Daz T (@Napos2005) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hello Freeview team. I have an issue with Freeview service in the PH3 Scotland area. I've had no service for days now. Could someone just check service is ok in the area please.. thanks in advance👍🏻

  • andy_eastfield Andy (@andy_eastfield) reported

    @MintRoyale My next door neighbours Freeview went down, so you can take one off that number for a start.

  • FactsStomp Phil's Train and Retro Life (@FactsStomp) reported

    @JHenryHardy @a516digital I honestly don't understand why anybody would watch the funeral coverage in ultra low resolution on the Sky owned Freeview channels rather than on BBC 1,2 or ITV (even in SD)

  • mishybabez_ Michelle💕 #11YearsOfLittleMix (@mishybabez_) reported

    Be glad when virgin media gets set up tomorrow this freeview is annoying me! The signal keeps going. Better not do this when soaps are on xx

  • Chalky1958 💙Chalky White 💙 (@Chalky1958) reported

    @PeterTatchell So, you've never heard of streaming channels, Freeview & catch up services. Dear me you are a shrouded individual!

  • Platypuss Louise (@Platypuss) reported

    @TPTVEncore How do I get talking Pictures on Freeview? I have tried finding it but the channel does not come up. I have scanned the TV and restarted but still no luck, can anyone help?

  • eazzie79 𝕴𝖆𝖎𝖓 𝕾𝖒𝖎𝖙𝖍 (@eazzie79) reported

    @CBS_Reality are there currently issues with reality and reality xtra on freeview? Both channels have frozen

  • d2leeds JT (@d2leeds) reported from Threlkeld, England

    @AlStewartOBE @GBNEWS Shame I missed your broadcast. Sadly I’m not at home and the Airbnb tv doesn’t have freeview. Internet also too poor to stream.
