    @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.

  • 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

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

  • 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

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

  • 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

    @danmooreradio @a516digital On Freeview bandwidth is an issue. But also still a fair number of SD only boxes out there.

  • 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

    @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.

  • Khrissy6unnell Chrissy Gunnell (@Khrissy6unnell) reported from Darlington, England

    What 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!

  • 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

    @dougmcfarlane41 They sent me a DM after I was commenting on your Freeview post the other day. Told me that my local service would be back soon, etc. etc. In Spain????

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    @MMendoza2021 @Freeview @TheNorthernEcho Poor or non?

  • MarkThorndyke Mark Thorndyke (@MarkThorndyke) reported

    Why hasn't the BBC got a +1 on any sky/Freeview? Why have they so many "Radio" stations funded by this license we never listen to? WAY to many! Why is the #BBC shite? Any decent show is by another company in reality The BBC is dying and needs to go as the talent CAN go elsewhere

  • MMendoza2021 Miguel. (@MMendoza2021) reported

    @dougmcfarlane41 @Freeview @TheNorthernEcho Poor, only HD channels and they keep losing signal. 5 out of 10 signal strength.

  • sunkisscribbles Joy 🏳️‍🌈 (@sunkisscribbles) reported

    @ScrumptiousBlue Ahh OK, I just don't want my account deleted so that's a bit reassuring - thanks. Been asking them for help for 10 days but they won't reply, no idea why. Dr Pimple Popper - isn't that on Freeview?

  • RalphMcTell1 Ralph McTell (@RalphMcTell1) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi, my TV is only recording some scheduled programmes in Freeview. It seems to affect all channels? Samsung advised to speak to you… can you help?

  • MUFC_Larn Lana (@MUFC_Larn) reported

    @Natzz6487 @MissNicoleDeans I wouldn’t worry too much. You’ll still see the original on prime time tv at Christmas while this awful looking remake will get a slot on the Christmas channel on freeview at 7am in the morning on the 8th of December. Don’t fret

  • essexloko74 Gunner74 (@essexloko74) reported

    @KayBurley @OliverDowden Don’t know about cancelling Christmas but certainly be cancelling sky. only problem is sky News is on Freeview can’t get away from this ****. #switchoffskynews

  • KeyworkerMan Yorkshire-man (@KeyworkerMan) reported

    @BBCLookNorth After retuning my TV, all Freeview channels are back in Harrogate! In my car however, the TFM signal is still too weak! So its the end of listening to TFM radio in Harrogate!
