Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Barnard Castle 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

    @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.

    @MrsWardley @FreeviewAdvice After giving up on the freeview channels, I did check again about 90 mins later before I had to leave home and the channels had returned... Still want to know what happened to cause this big outage? (Btw our separate Virgin Media cable TV service suddenly failed today too, odd.)

  • mariabewick1 Ninja midget (@mariabewick1) reported

    @virginmedia Can you now explain why even freeview is not working, itv, channel 4, I have a very distressed ill mother who is even harder work with no tv to try and explain to

  • SteveGrubb StevieG (@SteveGrubb) reported

    @bobp1961 @virginmedia Zen, a dedicated broadband provider, superb. For TV just gone to a smart TV (with a couple of apps for the channels I want) and Freeview. VM costs were just frankly ridiculous and service problematic.

  • HenseyP pet hen (@HenseyP) reported

    @virginmedia @ianwlfc96 CH657BX area no tv , no phone , thank god for freeview, why do we pay for a tv service that you cannot watch

  • andersmac1 andersmac (@andersmac1) reported

  • endeavour1968 Endeavour1968 (@endeavour1968) reported

    @virginmedia When you pay for a premium TV service and get Freeview.

  • cassyofLondon Miss IC MYF (@cassyofLondon) reported

    Any one else's terrestrial TV gone down???? #freeview

  • BoyCharioteer Stephen Miller (@BoyCharioteer) reported

    @DjDirtyDan87 @BenShoveller We simply switched to the old TV aerial on the freeview TV set. The premium TV is off for a few hours. If that is the worst that people are suffering then they are very lucky people. I always found Virgin Media service excellent.

  • hurricanehorton Michael Horton (@hurricanehorton) reported

    Wel, @virginmedia, which I pay a fortune for, are down on a day on a day that I want to watch snooker. They're damn lucky I can watch on Freeview. They better be back by 7pm. #snooker #crapcompany

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    A really bad day for TV viewers - Virgin Media's TV service is still not back to normal following a nationwide outage. - On Freeview, in the London TV region, an issue affecting the D3&4 multiplex has resulted in disruption to some viewers.
