  • 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

  • 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.

    @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

    @S4C @Geraint2019 Hi, I've been having exactly the same issue, watching it on freeview as well.

    @andyfidler66 Hi Andy, I am so very sorry you cannot access Channel 51. The number of channels available on Freeview depends on where you get your television signal from. Great Christmas Movies broadcast on a Local MUX (frequency) which unfortunately is not available from all transmitters.

    @malcolmparsons @SwitchMediaAU @FreeviewAU Yes, though it's difficult to tell if it's directly a Freeview issue or an issue with the Sony TV guide.
