Freeview Issues Reports Near Gateshead, England

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Gateshead and nearby locations:

  • 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!

  • aquablu Nicola (@aquablu) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    If we're in lock down for another 3 weeks, I really feel the #sonyChristmasChannel should be put back on #freeview...Will keep people in the house ( okay, it'll easily keep me in the house🎅🤶🌲

  • 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

    @PhilipJCooper78 they used to,but not since the analogue signal was turned off.someone should make a digital version with freeview.

  • surfnuttz Ian (@surfnuttz) reported

    @chickenruby @qvcuk me too but the TV takes a memory stick so i can record from the freeview the only problem is you cant watch another channel whilst recording it

  • peacenjam SellYourSharesDesmond (@peacenjam) reported

    @BelfastBhoy86 One of the most disappointing films ever. Too slow and the story telling is all over the place. Felt like a pish docu-drama on one of those crime channels on Freeview.

  • Jamesspringburn james... (@Jamesspringburn) reported

    @skytv i know im a few days behind on my payment and i understand why u cut off my service but why cant i access freeview tv.

  • tocatchathief8 💙🌻🌹John McCarthy🌹🌻💙 (@tocatchathief8) reported

    Hi @discoveryplus quick question. Watched "My Greatest Dishes" ep3 & ep4 tonight on Food Network via Freeview. So if i want to watch them again if i didn't record them, i have to pay to do so, even though it's a Freeview channel? I assume adverts aren't taken out of paid eps??

  • king_of_hobbies Carl Lee Hailey (@king_of_hobbies) reported

    @rockest_lobster @steve_race I unsuited Netflix in any case - wasn't really using it. Freeview streaming has a lot of stuff on it and Amazon Prime has other **** I use frequently. I also cancelled Now for similar reasons. Im not finding the alternatives massively compelling in short.

    @higgy365 @SkyArts The bad news is, it's nearly finished. I didn't realise until last week that @SkyArts is now on Freeview

  • 4Viewers 4Viewers (@4Viewers) reported

    @dinogoldie Hi, we need to know who provides the signal so we take a look into this issue - is your signal provider Sky, Virgin Media, Freeview, Freesat etc? #B99

  • litvank debbie *********** (@litvank) reported

    @transpenderism it's for the 'freeview' service lol

  • danjewellmedia Dan Jewell (@danjewellmedia) reported

    The postponement of the Blackpool game means the #asfc game at Crewe will be on all frequencies @BBCLancsSport (95.5/103.9/104.5FM, DAB, 855MW or Freeview 720) if you fancy syncing up your iFollow with the commentary. Sadly not a good enough signal to be overseas...!
