    People who have Freeview - is it just a one off cost for the box or subscription and can you record stuff? (Am trying to figure out tv options and can't get virgin and sky i think you need a dish. Aerial is crap here)

    The Good, the Bad and The Ugly is just starting now on Paramount network freeview 32

    @Dean0076103703 @GaryLineker Already told you. Your licence fee pays for little old ladies to get free radio. It also pays to maintain the freeview network which lots of advert-using channels piggyback on.

    Thought o would tune in to GBNews to see for myself how awful it really is. Couldn’t find the channel on Freeview. Does it exist?

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @WendyM53 @Freeview Hi, Due to unforeseen circumstances the Bilsdale transmitter is currently not transmitting due to a large fire. The emergency services are onsite and once cleared the engineers will access the transmitter to resolve the issue. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

  • J_P_Quin James Quin (@J_P_Quin) reported

    Well ****. The Bilsdale TV transmitter that serves the North Yorkshire region is currently on fire. So that means no Freeview telly until the problem is sorted out.

  • PaulBobbiFett Paul (@PaulBobbiFett) reported

    @f1redfive Hi Alex. Are all your Freeview channels off? I put Ch4 on 2.10pm to watch Countdown 🕛 & every channel No Signal ! so, tried switching TV off & on mains.. No Signal. Then got Freeview pocket TV out.. No Signal ! Luckily old Sky box in bedroom still shows free channels

  • Alan1_iow Alan (@Alan1_iow) reported

    @itvcalendar @ITV Wow! TV transmitters don't usually catch fire. The structure is metal, so it will be the equipment at the foot of the mast that's will be the problem. It will mean no Freeview for the area it serves.

  • RiaLMitchell Dr Ria Mitchell (@RiaLMitchell) reported from Sheffield, England

    Anyone else in Sheffield having Freeview problems the past day or so?

  • iamian16 iamian16 (@iamian16) reported

    @Mark56623345 @a516digital Bilsdale is a primary mast serving North Yorks, Teesside, Co. Durham and some of Tyne & Wear. Unless you can redirect your aerial and get a signal from Emley Moor or Pontop you’re stuffed for Freeview.
