  • 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!

  • ITVChannelTV ITV Channel News (@ITVChannelTV) reported

    @SollyIan @ITV ITV was recently granted an Ofcom licence which would allow ITV1 to broadcast in HD in the Channel Islands, however, there is currently insufficient Freeview/satellite capacity to provide the service in addition to other channels. We are aware of the issue and are working to fix.

    Shocking freeview signal this week again. I'm presuming it's the high pressure.

    @CymraegDoctor @S4C It wd be good if could choose subtitles in Welsh on S4C on iplayer, wd help lots to be able to read along, but doesn't seem to be an option as viewer in England? (Used to pick up s4c on old terrestrial telly, but not now on digital/freeview)

    @9edroPires @pqp_f1 If you watch or record TV on any channel via any TV service (e.g. Sky, Virgin, Freeview, Freesat), you need to be covered by a TV Licence. 1/2

    @ValMansell I’m about to watch the investigative journalist documentary on the extent of the grooming gang problem in our country today that has been ignored by the authorities that should be protecting our young vulnerable girls. It’s on @GBNews at 8pm channel 512 Sky or 236 Freeview

    Anyone in Sheffield having issues with HD channels on freeview, mine suddenly all say no signal but normal tv is OK @HelpSheffield

  • Otto_English Otto English (@Otto_English) reported

    The fact is that Neil Oliver is continuing to spout dangerous drivel on a Freeview channel and he has an army of fans and voices and big names willing to back him up. Calling that **** out should not be down to one or two people on twitter and just ignoring it is not an option
