    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.

    @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!

    Lost Sky Arts channel 11 on Freeview after retuning TV Anybody else have the same issue?

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @blogmywiki We are broadcasting loud and clear, Giles. We haven't moved. Have you tried retuning your box? If you still have problems you will need to speak to Freeview, there is a helpline: Freeview advice line on 03456 505050

    @extravelservice @SkyUK It’s a sky streaming only service Locked into Sky better off getting a smartTV . Look at BT TV £6 a month for Sky entertainment Netflix and freeview. And record 600 hours all without an aerial or dish.

  • sospainter 🅿🅰🆄🅻 🅲🅾🅻🅻🅸🅴🆁 (@sospainter) reported from Whyteleafe, England

    @IanSlaterPhoto1 @VixThatRuns I have a sizeable Samsung. Ditched Virgin Media, the plan was to have Freeview. The tv doesn’t support Freeview!

  • daryl_millar Daryl Millar (@daryl_millar) reported

    Of course my Freeview signal breaks up now.

  • highwaylass Highwaylass 🌻 (@highwaylass) reported

    I’ve had to retreat from Freeview telly. The adverts are winding me up too much. Black November? **** off. It’s Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, IF YOU ARE IN THE USA. Adverts encouraging massive spending on Christmas? Stop guilting people. And adverts for funerals 😳

  • ahappystitcher Sally-Jane 💙💛🌻 (@ahappystitcher) reported

    @aj2squared @MattCainWriter We're fully Firesticked. Our lounge tv no longer has a working Internal freeview box inside it, so that's solely Firesticked but I do miss the tv guide. The others are both freeview/Firestick or would be if the signal is there. I think the roof aerial/connections must be faulty.

  • MT_Kilpatrick Michael Kilpatrick (@MT_Kilpatrick) reported

    Old Panasonic Freeview PVR no good for new ITV player and it had fault:, watch catch-up progs and it would occasionally freeze for 0.5secs. Bought a new Manhattan and it's just as crap - goes slow-mo for 2secs at random times. Why is everything such junk? @FreeviewTV

  • BDpMOHUjfU0guzV oli henshaw (@BDpMOHUjfU0guzV) reported

    @Dinnaedothat @SamBT40 @fesshole So you agree the bbc is a lefty biased site All 5 main freeview channels are so dont talk **** about the media being a tory outlet

  • FactsStomp Phil's Train and Retro Life (@FactsStomp) reported

    Is it me or is the sound quality on @BBCTwo US Elections programme rather poor? Watching on BBC Two HD on Freeview. And I don't mean one of the contributors not having a microphone.
