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

  • 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.

  • 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

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

  • 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.

    @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.

    @aj2squared @MattCainWriter We're fully Firesticked. Our lounge tv no longer has a working Internal freeview box inside it, so that's solely Firesticked but I do miss the tv guide. The others are both freeview/Firestick or would be if the signal is there. I think the roof aerial/connections must be faulty.

  • baileys36 Jenny Lewis (@baileys36) reported

    @daryl_millar My freeview signal was awful the last few days and last night I didn't have a signal at all on any channel 😡

  • arif_ellam arif ellam (@arif_ellam) reported

    Lost Sky Arts channel 11 on Freeview after retuning TV Anybody else have the same issue?

  • PattyMinty Patty (@PattyMinty) reported

    @FreeviewTV No TV signal on my freeview no channels here in Liverpool, this is happening all over country, what is going on?

  • MT_Kilpatrick Michael Kilpatrick (@MT_Kilpatrick) reported

    Old Panasonic Freeview PVR no good for new ITV player and it had fault:, watch catch-up progs and it would occasionally freeze for 0.5secs. Bought a new Manhattan and it's just as crap - goes slow-mo for 2secs at random times. Why is everything such junk? @FreeviewTV

  • KevPeaWilliams KevPeaWilliams (@KevPeaWilliams) reported

    @MarinaPurkiss That old CRT TV! Just for stupid bollocks fun question... how many lines were there on a standard UK telly broadcast? Clue: more than ******** standard Freeview blurvision...

  • Ike_Laudius Ike_Laudius (@Ike_Laudius) reported

    @FreeviewTV Help, please! Subtitles are not recording on my Freeview recorder for ITV3 and 4. All others seem okay, so my machine settings are okay.

  • techprocess1 🇬🇧 (@techprocess1) reported

    @extravelservice @SkyUK It’s a sky streaming only service Locked into Sky better off getting a smartTV . Look at BT TV £6 a month for Sky entertainment Netflix and freeview. And record 600 hours all without an aerial or dish.

  • Lightforce_UK Terrance Metcalfe (@Lightforce_UK) reported

    @FreeviewTV Is this all the crap you can obtain- Freeview is total crap these days!

    @Farmer_Mooo @Depheruk I don’t have a house phone, seeing as I’m hardly home I felt it an unnecessary bill, seeing as freeview channels are awful for children’s programs, forgive me for having Netflix and Disney+ (which is a lot cheaper than sky or virgin May I add!) what a small minded opinion u have!
