Freeview Issues Reports Near Darlington, England

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

  • brianwinteruk Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England

    @PCarmichaelVO @NadineDorries BBC does NOT maintain Freeview network. That is Arqiva. BBC in partnership with other PSB broadcasters own Freeview. They, like other broadcaster pay carriage charges to Arqiva.

  • brianwinteruk Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England

    @BuddyGB Will watch that on IPlayer. Technical issues with Bilsdale mast means signal is not strong enough for my Freeview PVR to use its two tuners to record more than one programme at a time. Frustrating.

  • brianwinteruk Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England

    @NYorksPolice This is obviously a hang over from the Bilsdale transmitter problems. As far as I am aware, Harrogate has good Freeview coverage now. If not from Bilsdale, then from one of two temporary relays set up by Arqiva.

  • brianwinteruk Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England

    @dannysavage Not everywhere. Parts of Ripon, Thirsk and Harrogate still have very little or no signal. Freeview and Arqiva are on the case. Temporary relay being planned in next 14 days.

  • brianwinteruk Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England

    @dannysavage @yorkshireladtv It's channels that are text services, teletext holidays is one, or use the Internet to show programmes that are not transmitted over the Freeview UHF network.

  • brianwinteruk Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England

    The 80m temporary mast at Bilsdale has blown down. So no @Freeview. We did tell them it gets windy up there.

  • Joe__Monty Joe (@Joe__Monty) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    Looks like freeview is down across Teesside. No TV or radio signal..

  • brianwinteruk Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England

    @scottygb Shouldn't be any shunt on Freeview either as 7 was never reallocated.

  • DarrenClark1971 Darren Clark (@DarrenClark1971) reported from Stainton and Thornton, England

    Can’t believe how truly terrible EETV is. Tuning freeview channels is atrocious. Currently get 43, no BBC, ITV or any basic ones using new aerial. If it does find them they just disappear. Bedroom TV gets all the freeview ones and that’s on an old aerial in the same spot. #EETV

  • 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.

  • BameWiltshire BAME in Wiltshire (@BameWiltshire) reported

    @OliverDowden. HELP. Please, please do something about Freeview TV. The content is negative, woeful and not fit for purpose - and for some this is all they have. It could be a tool for positively impacting on the nations mental wellbeing.

    My freeview box isn’t receiving a signal. Just stopped. Wonder if it’s the weather. Wifi fine which is a relief. 🤞

  • 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.

  • Enright2214 George Enright (@Enright2214) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice is there a known issue in the Peterborough area? I’ve noticed we’ve lost many Freeview channels and I can’t see why. Numerous re tunes haven’t resolved the problem

  • Sandy_Bakes Sandy (@Sandy_Bakes) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I have been without signal for freeview for three days, are there any issues going on at the moment??

  • 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??

  • tommo515 Clive T #Football has come home to Plough Lane! (@tommo515) reported

    @ladymcbethany Yes, compact and old style with a set-top box. Same in the kitchen, for convenience. Main tv and kitchen run off the big digital aerial with a signal splitter/booster. Bedroom runs off original analogue aerial but still a perfect picture. No Sky TV: Freeview more than adequate.

  • Malum_Bear Bear (@Malum_Bear) reported

    @bantalols They're showing that on Forces TV, on Freeview. It's still ****.

  • angelasiddall28 Angela Siddall (@angelasiddall28) reported

    @virginmedia No it's OK today, I've never had any equipment upgrade in all the yrs I've been with you only a new bb box and a 4dbs added which now prevents me from using my aerial wire on freeview
