Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Blaydon-on-Tyne and nearby locations:

  • 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!

  • Christi34653250 Christine Scott (@Christi34653250) reported from Longbenton, England

    @ITVX I wish I could or that Freeview took on this network a lot of us on pensions can't afford satalite or cable

  • 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.

    @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

  • aquablu Nicola (@aquablu) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    If we're in lock down for another 3 weeks, I really feel the #sonyChristmasChannel should be put back on #freeview...Will keep people in the house ( okay, it'll easily keep me in the house🎅🤶🌲

  • PlexNetflix Martin Phillp 🔶 (@PlexNetflix) reported

    The EU have managed to get RT off-air in the UK except for Freeview HD by removing the signal from the satellite uplink based in Luxembourg.

  • Dav_Khobiar Dav.Khobiar (@Dav_Khobiar) reported

    The RT chanell just became unavailable on my freeview set. If it didn't come back on air I'll cancel my TV license.

  • Toto92733149 Toto (@Toto92733149) reported

    @geof_hughes RT now down on uk freeview

  • robert07059131 Leo (NEW) (@robert07059131) reported

    @MaizyDaizyZzzz Damn, off on freeview now 17.00 hrs

  • htwcentral Historical Television Website (@htwcentral) reported

    @TesTVWhirl RT HD has/had supposedly moved to a much higher channel number hence not gone altogether (yet?) since losing its SD service but that and the Freeview service could disappear at some point.

  • clayton_mick mick clayton (@clayton_mick) reported

    @georgegalloway You are not wrong. Just checked. Service not available on my Freeview. Britain now a police state. Fascism has arrived what the Luftwaffe failed to do. RIP Britain as a democracy.

  • JoeClitherow Joe Clitherow (@JoeClitherow) reported

    @Agar5588 @NadineDorries I think that's different to the satellite source being taken down. Sky or Freeview could have acted unilaterally to block broadcast, whereas satellite block removed the option

  • MediaBoyUK Media Boy UK (@MediaBoyUK) reported

    LIVE UPDATES: *RT (SD channel) was removed by Sky EPG before 12:45pm on March 2nd. Media Boy HQ will update this post when we get more information on Sky HD. Freeview, Freeview HD and Freesat removing RT from their network.

  • rodgers_tc Chris Torfaen - Eco-Socialist, BDS, #StarmerOut (@rodgers_tc) reported

    @diffyonhoto1 @georgegalloway I have a Chinese Region Samsung Smart TV and all channels are working normal that we pick up via the Internet - we don't get Freeview down here by the way.

  • MediaBoyUK Media Boy UK (@MediaBoyUK) reported
