Freeview Issues Reports Near Darlington, England
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Darlington and nearby locations:
-
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.
-
Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England@scottygb Shouldn't be any shunt on Freeview either as 7 was never reallocated.
-
Jim Gardner 🇺🇦 (@Jim_Gardner_) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England@mrjamesob If the Gammon aren't careful, the only British values we'll have left will be brown sauce, calling Freeview "Normal Telly" and wrought iron silhouettes of a WW2 solider we're told to never forget, even though he died defending Europe, The Rule of Law, and Refugees.

Chrissy Gunnell (@Khrissy6unnell) reported from Darlington, EnglandWhat a really cheeky naughty way 2get numbers onto this @ITVX putting top flight footy onto either itv4,which doesnt have HD on normal freeview never mind UHD or ITVx which we can't record & haV 2 sit & put up with all the adverts which make U a fortune yet no investment into 4k!
-
Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, EnglandThe 80m temporary mast at Bilsdale has blown down. So no @Freeview. We did tell them it gets windy up there.
-
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.
-
Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England@danmooreradio @a516digital On Freeview bandwidth is an issue. But also still a fair number of SD only boxes out there.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England@Stuart_Linnell @BBCOne @bbcmtd Only on Sky and Freesat. Freeview to follow, by end of April, but not down to each region. Only same as ITV. The HD multiplex cannot be fully regionslised
-
Darren Clark (@DarrenClark1971) reported from Stainton and Thornton, EnglandCan’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
-
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.
-
Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England@Jan_208 It is a minor problem that occurs once in a while when Freeview change the channel map too frequently. Part of it is broadcasters who fail to update their channel tags.
-
Joe (@Joe__Monty) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, EnglandLooks like freeview is down across Teesside. No TV or radio signal..

Jonny (@MisterBeergut) reported@RhianReads1 @richardosman On my Freeview box it is easy. Just ignore the channel buttons and go down to categories, then click on sport. All the choices come up there.
-
Andy (@jump_drive_flyr) reported@drewwagar A show I've never seen mostly due to not being signed up with any streaming services, I'm patient it'll come onto Freeview at some point like the others in time.
-
Neil (@darthmorley) reportedEnjoyed the seniors snooker, congrats to Ronnie O'Sullivan. Love the great Cliff Thorburn's way of saying snooker - "snucker"! Although Channel 5 shouldn't keep switching to 5 Action as the picture quality on Freeview is terrible!!
-
riz vuocolo (@VuocoloRiz) reported@DebNZ4 lol. wot a clown . not havin a new decoder box freeview kinda sucks coz that would be fukin gold.. i saw some of the interview .. *** she rambles lmao...
-
Priyamvada Gopal © (@PriyamvadaGopal) reported@TimFost2561 So if you cancel the license, you also can't access other freeview stuff, or am I completely off-base there?
-
Bigwows 💚🤍💜 ✖️✖️🏴 (@bigwows) reported@cmairsy @virginmedia Zen for internet - rock solid and great customer service, not that you’ll need it. But after ditching Virgin we went down the freeview route, I’m afraid.
-
MIdAS is a Potato (@mrmidas2k) reported@yellowhairdpunk How? Shits on ITV. They have replays literally on the "on demand" app. Yes, the showings aren't live, that sucks, but you can absolutely follow AEW watching regular *** freeview and getting PPV's.
-
Sam (@samazas) reported@rizzles066 @NotFarLeftAtAll Water and tv bills are the different things. This outdated laws about tv license are causing all those problems. Nowadays not many people still watch BBC or other freeview chanel. People browsing on the internet for news or watching YouTube…
-
KennyBilly (@KeepingKen) reportedOver 13 million households across the UK currently rely on Freeview - and residents could be forced to fork out an additional £20 monthly and potentially purchase a new television set if the service is discontinued, experts have cautioned.
