  • Christi34653250 Christine Scott (@Christi34653250) reported from Longbenton, England

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

  • 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.

    @kevinsmall9 @BBCRadioStoke Now medium wave has gone there are only Freeview DAB and FM to choose from. Suppose they are going by interest and support. Personally Freeview works for me if Stoke were on there but expect whoever's at home between Vale and Crewe will get the Freeview slot.

  • Lisa7Pettifer Lisa Pettifer 🌈 (@Lisa7Pettifer) reported

    @jonathanteacher This is what we’re finding. I’m going into a no-contract basic package for now. If I find we’re still not getting more use out of it as a service than we could just get on Freeview boxes, then I’ll just ditch them.

  • sc_timmy1180 Tim (@sc_timmy1180) reported

    @JoePalmerUK @itvhub Couldn't figure out how to do the Freeview on our new TV so on the net too. It's crap!

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    @ukdtt Remember CBM? The Freeview channel that had a caption 'Coming soon to Channel 22', but never launched.

  • MrsJaneRace Jane Race 💙 (@MrsJaneRace) reported

    @zoom_96 @jeehaeda We have Sky and Freeview and haven't been to see any Olympic golf. Coverage has been awful.

  • RiaLMitchell Dr Ria Mitchell (@RiaLMitchell) reported from Sheffield, England

    Anyone else in Sheffield having Freeview problems the past day or so?

  • A16Version It may take years, but the truth will be known (@A16Version) reported

    @melissaztweets @ITV @AEW I actually understand why it was on ITV4 - in the age of freeview (I can remember TNA beating WWE in the UK as TNA was on Challenge) - but yeah, the inconsistency about the ITV4 airing, and the lie about ITV Hub being a Thursday thing has screwed AEW bad

  • lewgall Lewgall (@lewgall) reported

    Wish Premier Sports would get tae ****. How can he have Sky, BT, prime and freeview channels but still no see a game.

  • AllanLear6 Allan Lear (@AllanLear6) reported

    @Dean0076103703 @GaryLineker No, sorry, you're lying. The BBC funds two of the six multiplexes that deliver Freeview and Freesat content nationally. If you scrapped the licence fee, you'd have to fund that from somewhere else. If you don't understand the issue, it's best to reserve judgement.

  • AllanLear6 Allan Lear (@AllanLear6) reported

    @Dean0076103703 @GaryLineker Already told you. Your licence fee pays for little old ladies to get free radio. It also pays to maintain the freeview network which lots of advert-using channels piggyback on.
