  • 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

  • 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!

  • aquablu Nicola (@aquablu) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    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🎅🤶🌲

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

  • 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.

  • DoshComparison Far Left Bolcheviks Blocked Instantly, NO Argument (@DoshComparison) reported

    @JacquiDeevoy1 I think I may have mentioned before that I've never held a TV licence ever. When I visit a friend he has Freeview channels running which makes me feel depressed instantly. As an IT guy I have a Linux Kodi Box that allows me all my OdySee, Rumble & Bitchute content ads Free.

  • Whereistherider Sagas from the Sea 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 ✝️ 🍺 (@Whereistherider) reported

    @yhdistyminen Hi, Roman historian here, uhm actually HBO was only for the Equites class, and Freeview was patchy (at best) in Germania and Hispania. I suggest you read a book and educate yourself. Glad I could help 👍

  • TommyTucker091 Tommy Tucker (@TommyTucker091) reported

    @CapelLofft Never underestimate them. A good way to combat it is feing ignorance. You don't have a smartphone, you have no computers. Never been much into that stuff. You just have a plain telly and freeview box. No internet. And you don't have BBC, or a smart meter.

  • AlexEdoh2013 Alexander Edoh (@AlexEdoh2013) reported

    @SydneyCityTV ITV has all of its services exclusively in HD on Satellite (I think, please feel free to correct me on this), Virgin Media, again I'm not sure, also surprised to see that only the main channel (ITV1) is HD on Freeview. I have EE TV, the signal works over Wi-Fi,

  • Ajax62859643753 Welcome FM 101.3 (@Ajax62859643753) reported

    @TheBritLad The BBC are on Freeview. Freeview is a free to view service. The BBC are pay to view and SHOULD NOT be on Freeview.

  • eastcoaststoat Ian Gray (@eastcoaststoat) reported

    @Janela_X Thinks it's moved the Ariel for Freeview so no signal

  • Ajax62859643753 Welcome FM 101.3 (@Ajax62859643753) reported

    @LeilaniDowding Also the BBC are on Freeview and that is a free to view service. The BBC are pay to view. They SHOULD NOT BE ON FREEVIEW.
