@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.

@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!

Go to put the tv on for some background noise and uuuuh the whole of freeview is down apparently. The TV literally doesn't know if there are channels even

@darrengrimes_ Just a reminder. The License fee is a tax on watching live TV. You pay the tax is you watch most live tv on most platforms (sky, Virgin, Freeview etc.) The tax is used to help pay for the BBC tv, web, radio but it's nothing to do with specifically watching the BBC

@BritishTelecom - BT engineer due between 8-10 but no sign of him?? We have no access to BT Sport & quality of TV with the new freeview box is awful so we want a refund on our subscription.

@JakTrident @cavaliers_rock @bbcdoctorwho to fully understand the Dr Who sound issues it would be useful to discover who was watching on what platform. E.g. iplayer, Freeview, iplayer HD, BBC though SKy etc - Can I ask what broadcast system were you listening to?

@thursdaysangelx Virgin Media and Freeview also have it but it would depend on what content they buy into. From what I have seen it tends to be older shows. You never know, it’s not a channel I watch that much.

@HammerGothic @BritBoxHelpUK P.S. Other episodes of Bergerac had it pretty bad, too. One ended with a scene of an armed siege of a house: on the Freeview channels, all real footage of this was removed and then replaced with still photographs. Censorship is bonkers.
