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

  • 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

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

  • 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

    @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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • christhejani Chris Lincoln (@christhejani) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice hi I am getting no picture from Freeview on any channel just a message saying the receiver is not getting a signal or the signal is week

  • Davidp1103 Davidp (@Davidp1103) reported from Gravesend, England

    @Complyorcry @Back_Two_Mee To @TalkTalk they are okay but the broadband is not a good as VM but it's okay; it cut the monthly bill in half. I have since dropped their tv service and bought a freeview recorder. Monthly bill for broadband/phone £38

  • Michael27406078 Michael Frost (@Michael27406078) reported

    Is anyone else having trouble with receiving freeview, ?

  • CatAmongPages CatAmongThePages 💙 (@CatAmongPages) reported

    Apparently the BBC et al have pledged millions to Freeview to invest in the service. Sorry, pledged MILLIONS (it's a tabloid headline). That's lovely but personally I'd just like a digital signal. It's been over a year now. There will be no licence fee payment this year. Nope.

  • Fetch13 Andrew Bell (@Fetch13) reported

    I've been watching various reruns of Star Trek on freeview. And I can't help from wondering why the Enterprise doesn't have an IT department or at least why Starfleet Engineering doesn't have an IT division.

  • toaoan Maiden Auntie (@toaoan) reported

    @chronicjayne @ITV So frustrating, but I have seen a couple of people on here say they didn't have any problems watching on Freeview. I was on Sky, how about you?

  • Mozzer2015 Jim Smith (@Mozzer2015) reported

    @GriffeyHilary @AnthonyICHH @MichaelsCoDub All a VPN does is mask your IP address, BBC is geoblocked in Ireland but with a VPN it makes a new IP Address look like you are in GB. Legal? Who cares? Nobody. You can get bbc free via freesat or freeview in ROI and no legal issues so....

  • Bohemoth Bohemoth (@Bohemoth) reported

    @AnasSarwar If the TV licence was abolished and replaced with paid ads, the option to subscribe would be there and the elderly could simply have freeview. NO TV LICENCE and you could concentrate on real issues. This is like NO. 1050 on the list of things needing addressed. Get SNP OUT!

  • rkid_fry Fry💧 (@rkid_fry) reported

    @stfu_nobodyaskd i ain't watch that either ***** I'm poor i had freeview TV in the UK

  • TheMrnortholt Nick W (@TheMrnortholt) reported

    @dwchappie Dave, nobody who has bought a TV since analogue was turned off hasn’t got Freeview and those watching on TVs from before then will have to have a box to convert the signal.
