    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!

    @ITVX I wish I could or that Freeview took on this network a lot of us on pensions can't afford satalite or cable

    @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.

    @AndrewBrazier1 They are ending freeview signal in few years blaming it on 5G attention & focus but they then will use iplayer only and u will pay to sign in like u do with all the rest now, itv will move to pay sign in but this will change the quality and content of what tv they will make 2030

    @MatthewRimmer @MockTheWeek In Wales its Freeview channel 12, I believe Sky has a different channel down in the hundreds.

    @bees_paws @jdpoc I have the opposite problem, terrestrial signal is nonexistent, so get all my tv on broadband So unfortunately for me, Freeview is not available to me yet

    @archivetvmus71 I adored The Rockford Files. Garner was superb. Can't understand why it never gets any repeats on any of the Freeview channels.

    @FreeviewTV Hi. I've just got a new @LGUK smart TV and it doesn't have the Freeview Play app. I often watch @UKTV's U catch up service via Freeview Play and I'm really upset not to find it here. Can I install the Freeview Play app or the U catch up service on my LG TV?

    @HughEdw31897368 A problem for many older people like us whose only programme source is freeview. No internet subscription, mobile network only.

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi, is there an issue with the epg for Channel 4? Nothing appears in my epg after 6am on 20th Feb. There is also nothing on the freeview TV guide website after that time, thanks.
