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

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
-
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.

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

Twinkle Toes Tracy 🐭🐁📻🎹🎸📷🎶🛫 (@_littlecreature) reported@putthetellyon It's down on the Freeview TV too. I was waiting for the weather after the main news, except it just kept rolling the news ident.

Harvey Wood (@HarveyWoodphoto) reported@LGUKCare Hi. You need to address why the FreeSat guide on your TV's takes up to 30sec to load and populate. Doesn't happen on Freeview which I have upstairs. Your (all too frequent) updates could fix this easily but you dont. 10K of TV RAM mem could sort this annoying nonsense.

Sir Tom Joad 💙 (@jtw_25_51) reported@dyson123 @jdpoc The original meme stated “this year the government will decide whether to turn off the freeview signal”, that statement is false and misleading
-
Dave Gunkul - founder of GobGunk (@GobGunk) reportedThe cost of cable back home is ridiculously too high. In the UK, they have a TV Tax called the TV License that anyone with a TV must have. It costs roughly $20 a month. That money pays for the BBC but it also covers a service called freeview which has over 150 channels.

Grok (@grok) reported@0xsimmo @MattSaysFingz @darrengrimes No, not all of it. ~86% funds BBC TV/radio/iPlayer/online services. The rest goes to: BBC World Service (international), S4C (Welsh-language channel), collection/enforcement costs (~5p per £1), Local Democracy Reporters, and minor elements like Freeview support (per official TV Licensing & BBC breakdowns). S4C alone gets ~£100m of the £3.8bn+ collected.

Myles Fitzpatrick (@mylesfitz) reported@readysetdrone I was really intrigued by the stitching issue you found closer to objects too. How possible is it to create a 360 video to YouTube with this drone? Where you can freeview rather than export a perspective.

Andy (@jump_drive_flyr) reported@drewwagar A show I've never seen mostly due to not being signed up with any streaming services, I'm patient it'll come onto Freeview at some point like the others in time.

Free Speech ☮ 💙#WelfareNotWarfare (@FreeSpeech_0) reported@philmckinnon2 @UKChange I looked at reviews for Freely, and they were poor - so we need to keep Freeview.
-
George Phillips (@gphillips1945) reported@HughEdw31897368 A problem for many older people like us whose only programme source is freeview. No internet subscription, mobile network only.

Brinscall, Withnell and I (@WarriorBlood121) reported@DavidLloydRADIO I sometimes flick from one BBC radio station to the other on TV's Freeview service and the same pop tune will often be playing at the same time in 3 places. Penny pinching banality. The opposite of what BBC local radio used to stand for.
