Freeview Issues Reports Near Sunderland, England

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Sunderland 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

  • 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!

  • 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.

    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🎅🤶🌲

  • EmmaLovelace Emma Lovelace (@EmmaLovelace) reported

    Now getting 71 Freeview channels today, down from 96 yesterday. Well down from a 147 in the colder times.

  • maygrants jade misses liv and bella (@maygrants) reported

    why when li goes on longer does it never show on tv like i have to go to my silly little freeview app to check

  • oliver_shergold Acid 🇺🇦 Mouse (@oliver_shergold) reported

    @lungz77_ @foxylocksy1 I have got Sky with basic Netflix coming Friday, maybe I will be able to see it. I had to do something to escape Freeview. It's that bad tonight I've got Heartbeat on. 😐

  • scott_gamer Scott M (@scott_gamer) reported

    @Vanhalen20081 @russty_russ If you think it's bad on Freeview, it's probably worse on Sky and Virgin. When I look at the list of channels on my EPG, I can't help but think that some only exist for the sake of ad revenue.

  • ZwitterelfZana DanielleZana🧜🏽‍♀️👽🐈🧝🏽‍♀️💾🌍🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 (@ZwitterelfZana) reported

    Horror channel no longer on Freeview and replaced by Legend channel.. I knew this was going to happen after RT News got the boot. I just can imagine the christofascists taking over the media saying it was demonic and **** … reality has become the horror channel

  • scott_gamer Scott M (@scott_gamer) reported

    @Page_888 @russty_russ Interesting. For the period of time between the collapse of ITV Digital and the launch of Freeview, I suppose it made sense for there to be DTT boxes manufactured. I didn't realise that Top-Up TV had anything to do with Freeview, as I thought it was a separate platform/service.

  • JohnLoony John Cartwright (@JohnLoony) reported

    Great Movies Action channel (Freeview 42). “The Apocalypse” A disaster movie that is so apocalyptically bad that it hasn’t got enough budget for cgi of devastation. Just gormless characters watching TV news, or watching the devastation (neither of which is visible to the viewer).

  • Hiltonblackdick Richard Hilton (@Hiltonblackdick) reported

    @virginmedia cannot watch any great sport because TV signal is down AGAIN, watching freeview now not the same but no doubt you will take full fee next month!

  • Whisker12899908 Mother of two (@Whisker12899908) reported

    @GBNEWS my aunt has just messaged to say she can no longer view GB News on 236 freeview? Anyone else having this issue ?
