-
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!

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

Nicola (@aquablu) reported from Whitley Bay, EnglandIf 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🎅🤶🌲

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.

Priyamvada Gopal © (@PriyamvadaGopal) reported@TimFost2561 So if you cancel the license, you also can't access other freeview stuff, or am I completely off-base there?

Presley Turberville (@T21949Presley) reported@BritishComedy One more **** feminist's comedy for the Freeview telly dustbin.

That guy up the road (@MikeJDByrne) reportedWell #Freeview has a shite signal tonight

The Silver Cloak (@TheSilverCloak) reported@jaygrocott29 @DoctorWhoPN Wrong. The public service broadcasters are all gifted their spectrum and their advantageous position on the Freeview EPG. Road tax was abolished in 1937. Road building and maintenance is paid by general taxation. Revenue from VED just goes into the chancellor’s pot.

Jack Last (@Ajax62859643753) reported@GBPolitcs Why is the BBC on Freeview?, it’s a free to watch service hence the name. But because the BBC use it they expect people to pay for a free service.

365 Days of Dave (@timbcaycgi) reported@ChrisHazzardSF My understanding is that RTE services work on the Freeview platform via terrestrial signal deep beyond the boarder counties. With RTE themselves saying that the signal strength is high in the boarder region and moderate beyond

Scott Artus (@artuscartoons) reportedI know we've got a bad storm here etc. But I can't understand why the superfast broadband won't work or stream movies, but the digital freeview aerial works.

Rosa (@Rosa60044194) reported@OborneTweets Is great to have this addition, I will definitely be watching it! Shane they can’t a channel on Freeview as well. We need a decent opposition to the terrible GB news

GSG2590 (@gsg2590) reported@JoshCF_ They're a joke now, two years ago the deal was £45 with basic freeview and Sky Q and now it's £63. They've also ended customer support on here and UK based customer calls. The app regularly messes up now, doesn't recognise you've paid and you end up getting charged again 😑

Philip Wattis (@flincauk) reported@RichardWellings Replace the BBC with a subscription based streaming service - not dissimilar to IPlayer, and they can use their Freeview channels to promote and advertise the subscription service.
