@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!

@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.

@jinxyjane1960 @BBCNews Incredibly naïve comment. I realise not everyone will see tough times, but this is going to cause all kinds of problems. Even me on my £8 mobile contract and Freeview. I don't see it as unpopular, I see it as something that has no idea what many will face.

@basestacking Check Freeview for the terrestrial channels in your area, and retune a couple of times to see if you get more stations. I use a Humax and smart tv so I can record TV programmes, but you should be able to just plug it into your tv. I find non-HD progs get a better signal.

I'm so glad I have satellite. Just been watching a bit of Freeview and a plane flew over and I lost signal. It's a bit like some of these issues with DAB.... nothing is as strong as it should be. Now I'm Netflix and chill.

Why isn’t the match on Freeview? **** you @SkySports, you really love to ruin sports. England matches should be free to watch #ENGCIV

@SimonJeremyMil1 @ThatsTVOfficial Same down in the South of Uk. We watch on satellite but would be handy to get it on freeview

@did_40 @lomelindi12 Can you both listen to the repeat of Health Check on the World Service at 1.30pm online via smart speaker, sounds, on DAB, Freeview? A very big feature on MS which seems to offer hope and it does seem reliable what they talk about it.

@virginmedia My brother gifted me a years subscription to Netflix, which then just automatically tapped £10 a month onto my bill & I had no idea how to cancel it. So £43 to £66 is a big leap for pretty much the same service I get from Freeview and the pubs WiFi next door.

@VoiceofCal It's only if you watch or record live TV or watch anything on iPlayer which is the BBC's own video on demand service. This includes any channel broadcasting in the UK, Sky, freesat, even freeview tv-the channels preprogrammed into a TV when you buy it.

@iMultitudes Yes I can only get that channel through the Freeview box which I record on, can’t get it through the normal aerial as the signal is so bad here.
