    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🎅🤶🌲

  • 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.

    @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

  • mcdonal01 Alan McDonald (@mcdonal01) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. As part of our broadband/phone package we have the small, internet connected, Freeview box. We have problems with the box. It regularly says that channels are not available despite them ok via app and has to be rebooted several times. Can we get replacement?

  • lordcapel Huw Williams 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@lordcapel) reported

    @pearcy29_ If you have Freeview go to channel 601 and Radio 5 live is the commentary, no stupid Jenas to ruin the match.

  • trisbayliff Tris Bayliff (@trisbayliff) reported

    @Independent I swore off sky a few years ago and switched to a Freeview recording box plus the usual apps and I've never regretted it.

  • Exa_talks Paul (@Exa_talks) reported

    @amazonianwolf @SkyHelpTeam @SkySportsF1 Exactly I watch f1 and that's about it, occasionally rugby but 90% are on Freeview these days. I basically pay to watch f1 and that's it, while my friends across the pond watch in 4k with multiple views telemetry etc all for a few quid a month Vs our stupid numbers

    @freesat_tv Maybe it next year Freesat+HD 4K when before no longer available service Freesat Humax Box anymore same Freeview Humax Box running enough?

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @ZillionaireArt @freesat_tv It is just Freeview and online for now. We are always looking at updating and growing the service and will continue to do so whenever possible.

  • sibur_67 SiBur 🇺🇦 (@sibur_67) reported

    @betangel I'd watch it but only have Freeview and ITV4 is SD only - crap

  • judge_sweeny JudgeSweeny (@judge_sweeny) reported

    @BBCSport Another unwatchable world cup match due to your AWFUL grasp of surround sound. Commentators volume so low in the Freeview 5.1 mix it makes watching it unbearable.100 years of the BBC and this is how far you've come eh? I'd watch it in 4k if the sound wasn't worse there!

  • manps_singh Manpreet Singh (@manps_singh) reported

    Chisora Fury robbed the public, that should have been freeview. Who would pay PPV for this terrible fight

  • ThatBlokePotter Stuart Lonergan (@ThatBlokePotter) reported
