Freeview Issues Reports Near Chester-le-Street, England

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Chester-le-Street and nearby locations:

  • AddingRandomWit Adam Widdrington (@AddingRandomWit) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @bigpapablu @itvfootball I don’t have a sky or freeview box! I stream everything and have very good internet so it’s never an issue haha

  • JonnyRoLi JR (@JonnyRoLi) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

  • GerryCarpenter3 Gerry Carpenter (@GerryCarpenter3) reported from Sunderland, England

    @Claire_Pickard @sueashton3000 Many residents in Sunderland & along the Durham Coast also receive Freeview Channels from the Bilsdale transmitter. The fire is also likely to have knocked out about 30 relay stations, which "feed" on signals from Bilsdale. I wouldn't like to climb up the transmitter to fix it!

  • JamieNemeth Jamie Nemeth (he/him/they/them) (@JamieNemeth) reported

    Next week on my Twitch stream: Freeview watchalong! Can't see any potential issues with rebroadcasting content from the BBC, ITV, Channels 4 and 5, UKTV, Quest, etc. I mean, they're literally giving it away for free on Freeview! That's how copyright and fair use works, right?

  • pauljholden PJ Holden (@pauljholden) reported

    in the end dropped the landline (haven't used it in years) and dropped the tv package (we're watching everything either online or catchup or on freeview - which, weirdly, in HD seems to be a better quality). Knocks from 56 (+4 increase) down to £46 (and no increase)

  • JoshxReid Josh (@JoshxReid) reported

    Looks like they've quickly cut out that slide on iPlayer and replaced it with a static version of the new downtime slide. Still able to get the 'We're not here right now' on Freeview though

  • philcowley2 Phil Cowley #YJB4LIFE (@philcowley2) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @BeOdd2 What service. Sky Virgin Freeview?

  • AberJohnny John Malcolm McMenemy (@AberJohnny) reported

    @Tom___Scott @gavmacn Never watched it and have it deleted off my Freeview channel list so can't.

  • MediaBoyUK Media Boy UK (@MediaBoyUK) reported

    (7/7) What coming up on Virgin/Freeview: Jan. 16th: ViacomCBS replaces Paramount Network HD with 5Action HD today on Virgin Channel 150. Jan. 16th: ViacomCBS replaces Paramount Network with 5Action today on Virgin Channel 187 and Freeview Channel 32.

  • FacileTalk daz boot (@FacileTalk) reported

    Paramount Network @ 9 Freeview Ch32 The Running Man Go on, get some Arnie down yer. #TellyChat

  • 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.
