  • 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!

    @virginmedia cannot watch any great sport because TV signal is down AGAIN, watching freeview now not the same but no doubt you will take full fee next month!

  • charleyb2355 Charleyb2355 (@charleyb2355) reported

    @JohnInAdelaide1 @xskinn They are in the UK. I just use streaming and catch up. Never watch freeview. Even with my streaming fees it is cheaper than the licence fee.

    When you’ve had the full Virgin Media package but now have to make do with freeview in the short term, nightmare! First world problems

  • h11rstie Stuart Hurst (@h11rstie) reported

    @TalkTalk Hi could you tell me if freeview is down in the BB7 area thanks

  • roasty88 Ryan McVeigh (@roasty88) reported

    @bread1970 @aewboro123 @Fightful Tbh ain't a bad deal ayozat is available on sky or through their app or website for anyone in the UK for free so availability is about as good as you get without being on freeview and as mentioned if they do well then a Freeview channel could pick them up at a later date.

    @EamonHegarty I literally watched the match on Freeview via NI and check on my phone too. I was able to stream it via both the RTÉ player app and website. We have Virgin media and a ****** indoor aerial and even it picks up RTÉ Freeview signal.

  • RichMill1988 Richard Lloyd Miller (@RichMill1988) reported

    @gabyhinsliff Never heard of watching the news? Loads of channels available on freeview.

  • Canis63 Old Nick.💙 (@Canis63) reported

    Hmm, loads of my freeview channels are nothing but fuzzy static but the HD versions are fine. Anyone else got that problem?

  • murrayhead84 John Murray (@murrayhead84) reported

    @conorleeson @VodafoneIreland They cut RT a few months back, and understandably Cut Disney for cost reasons. Generally a good service but it is diminishing gradually while other services are offering more to subscibers. No music offerings and Children's TV they offer all avail on Freeview or FreeSat already

    @talktoNHG I live in Old Kenton Lane. At least two flats in our block have reported a problem with Freeview that seems to indicate a problem with the communal system. Most flats use Sky. Tried your app but did not have the right options to report.
