What is the difference between that and a North East Explorer? Surely the latter must be more recognised?
You can only use a Day Rover in Tyne & Wear (albeit on any form of public transport), but you can use a North East Explorer on all forms of public transport in the North East (minus a few 'special' bus services).
All drivers should know about the North East Explorer, but some drivers that aren't based in Tyne & Wear mightn't know about the Day Rover because it's a Tyne & Wear only ticket (just like the Nexus CAT as Tom refers to).
