  • 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.

  • 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!

    @windymick Hello, are you using a freeview device to watch our content through your TV? Or the problem is on another platform?

  • Peter_Mugridge Peter Mugridge (@Peter_Mugridge) reported

    @Saltbar Good God no - I watch on a proper TV with Freeview and only very, very, rarely watch something on whatever channel's iPlayer service it is - and then only if it's something I miss when it's broadcast and I didn't record it either. Is that what you're doing? Online only viewing?

    @MiserygutsPetty @SEAMONKEYOO7 @RyanJackMum Oh, I just realised- Freeview, not Freesat! My bad! Yeah, that'll be why the channels are different!

  • arranmclean1 Arran McLean (@arranmclean1) reported

    @talktalk freeview tv not working AGAIN-3rd time in 2 wks. Multiple days at a time. On day 4 of latest outage now. No problems with cables. Resetting router&box and retuning doesn’t work. I’m not ringing again as the call centre people don’t understand. Website no help

  • meraulton Meraulton (@meraulton) reported

    Tonight's alternative to the Saturday night garbage that is terrestrial tv can be found on Film4 Channel 14 on Freeview. They're going with Mission Impossible at 6.50 and Jason Bourne at 9.00. Two top films you may have seen before but it's always good to watch again. 👍

    @AdamOnTop97 Hi, Adam. Are you having this issue only on UKTV Play or are you having similar issues on all Freeview Play players? Fraser

  • ArthurAssendune Sir Arthur Assendune 🇪🇺💙#FBPPR #FBPE 🇺🇦 (@ArthurAssendune) reported

    @DanielaNadj I wish the EU would runs a news channel on Freeview. RT did, Al Jazeera does, why not the EU? Euronews is available and OK as far as it goes, but it is quite limited. An opportunity for the EU to develop its own 'World Service'.
