Freeview Issues Reports Near Shiremoor, England

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Shiremoor 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!

  • 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

  • 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🎅🤶🌲

  • 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.

    Shocked that @footballheaven had Donny on Freeview yesterday. No idea what digital radio is like in Sheffield area but I can confirm that even awful MW is more reliable than FM in many parts of Sheffield and freeview is the only way to get audible commentaries for many #sufc

  • KevMonynys Caoimhín Thomas 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧 (@KevMonynys) reported

    @b8eak My God, look at the changes you’ve seen with tv. From just one channel (which closed down for hours on end) to today’s hundreds of channels on cable, Freeview, satellite etc!

  • Starrygem4 DianeB (@Starrygem4) reported

    @SimonLivesey @TkoCymon @GBNEWS I'm sure my gbnews on freeview 236 is HD. I can't get it very well though cos the aerial is crap 😕

  • OsullivanUk Mike O'Sullivan (@OsullivanUk) reported

    @googlenesthelp Hey Google... No, nothing like that at all. Just an old (Humax) Freeview recorder, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and a (non-smart) Panasonic blu-ray player. All powered off at time of issue. Couple of other people raised it as issue a few days ago on the Google TV forum also.

  • waccoetom Tom (@waccoetom) reported

    @leeds_lord Just cancelled Sky, bill went from £57 to £97, for the simple explanation that I’d been a customer for 18 months 🤔 Gone to City Fibre internet and use my Apple TV to stream Netflix, Prime, and all freeview channels with an option for sports pass through the Now TV app.

    @GBNEWS @GBNEWS Are you aware the lip sync on Freeview has been really bad this evening? I hope it can be fixed.

  • Stuart_1992 Stuaгt (@Stuart_1992) reported

    @petemorristwit I still have the same issue with Freeview. At least with analogue you could receive a poor signal instead of one that breaks up completely. I'm so glad we have a satellite dish now.

  • queenb57330198 queenb (@queenb57330198) reported

    @Van7212 I did the same a while ago, much cheaper to get the streaming services you want and an excellent broadband service. The kids were fine, they never watch anything live. sky news etc are on freeview anyway.

  • MrGarry2u MrGarry2u (@MrGarry2u) reported

    @Bomberherald My sister's been watching some freeview channel that plays nothing BUT crap Christmas films.... Since about July. 😵‍💫
