    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🎅🤶🌲

  • AddingRandomWit Adam Widdrington (@AddingRandomWit) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @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

  • 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!

    @petemorristwit Just about to cancel BTTV. It's awful. Broadband is OK. Just get a freeview box.

    @thefulltoss @hainba67 Participation numbers in all sports are in decline regardless of whether its on freeview tv. The downward trend has been since the late 1980s. My research shows its more likely down to the fact sport is not played in state schools rather than tv.

    Isn't normal TV/Freeview awful? 30+ channels of total crap, every night. What do people watch?

    @adam_markson Channel 100 provide viewers with information regarding Freeview and our phone number so if there are any issues with their service they can phone us to try and resolve them. This has been proven to be very useful for people. Thanks, Dylan

  • MagicSky_UK Nick Francis (@MagicSky_UK) reported

    @BBCNews wonderful new Webb telescope images, yet we now have to watch on Freeview in standard definition as no HD signal 🤷.

  • BobScot48804242 Bob Scott (@BobScot48804242) reported

    @neilbelieves Not seen it, it's on the list though. I remember it being quite controversial at the time here in the UK but I never bothered with it. Now I want to check it out, it's never available on freeview 🙄

  • GaryinScotland Gary Cummins (@GaryinScotland) reported

    @NeilClark66 How many pedestrians are killed by drivers compared with drivers killed by pedestrians Neil. And what ******** is 'The Great Reset'? Is that when you get log out and then log back in to your telly to update the Freeview channels?

  • scovelljohn John Scovell (@scovelljohn) reported

    @ClearAsChloe I've never seen it as I only have Freeview TV. I know there are lots of references to Stephen King including the title. Still, one day I will get to see it!!

    "BBC Four HD will return soon" is not a glowing example of brilliant customer information, Freeview. 99.9% of us are not TV experts and would quite like at least some hint as to what "soon" might mean. For this channel, even I notice the difference between HD and SD.
