  • gazzaeuro Gary Spence (@gazzaeuro) reported

    @RadioToday I live in the Bilsdale area @RadioToday and it is day two without the transmitter not working. I have access to my DAB+ Radio and Virgin Media Cable. But I do also watch Freeview a lot.

  • 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!

  • KeyworkerMan Yorkshire-man (@KeyworkerMan) reported

    @thestrayferret Bad news cos Freeview is a much sharper picture than the dark dull picture thru SKY satelite! Also there is no TFM radio in my car but Radio York is available!

  • DBofficial125 DBofficial125 (@DBofficial125) reported

    @YVimalathevan @TrishSpeirs48 @TheJudasSociety But freeview is a big deal? The biggest channels are freeview in the UK. Being on a barely used subscription service is awful for growth. I suspect WWE get a better financial package in exchange however.

    Ok who's broken freeview? no chanels! I bet it's that aye bloke tripped over the wire and unplugged it.

  • MuxCoDAB MuxCo (@MuxCoDAB) reported

    Due to a fire at the Bilsdale transmitter, our local North Yorkshire DAB multiplex will have reduced coverage. The incident has affected all services from the transmitter including Freeview, local FM and national/local DAB.

  • paulychilds Paul Childs (@paulychilds) reported

    @Bob_Fischer Ah, is this why I've seen a few NE chums complaining of Freeview not working today? We nearly had a similar thing in 2018 when all of West Yorkshire and the countryside around Manchester was on fire, including Winter Hill, the main NW transmitter. During the World Cup too!

  • 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.

  • 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.

    @stonecoldjohn73 Hi, You may receive your signal from another transmitter. Good news you have your Freeview reception restored. Please DM your postcode, house name/number if you require further advice. Kind Regards Melissa
