  • Christi34653250 Christine Scott (@Christi34653250) reported from Longbenton, England

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

  • 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!

  • 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.

    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🎅🤶🌲

    @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

    @MaryJasper2 So sorry to hear that....Vengeance Valley will be on our catch up service Encore via your red button on Freeview or online at www.tptvencore..co.uk

  • agameganon King of Megcenae (@agameganon) reported

    QEII dying means there is nothing on regular freeview television so I’m exploring channels I never frequent and I’ve just landed on The Osbournes Want To Believe which might be my new favourite program

  • ropa69 Ropa69🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@ropa69) reported

    @bt_uk Dissapointed in your TV services . After being a Sky customer for years I thought I'd give BT a go . Can't even view BTSports in HD without paying extra and entertainment channels are mostly available on Freeview anyway.. Think I'll be returning to @SkyUK

  • torqueback Chris Wood (@torqueback) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV Great line-up… but I can’t get ‘Red Button’ on Freeview to work. Any idea why not? Your FAQs don’t help - I’ve retuned but there’s no Encore logo under the TPTV logo…

  • lee_is_wilde Lee (@lee_is_wilde) reported

    @IFLTV @Tyson_Fury @anthonyjoshua Can’t wait!!! … which freeview channel do we think it will be on? And how they going to issue the free tickets ? Lottery? I mean this is what Tyson said will happen right?

  • MissCarrieW Carrie (@MissCarrieW) reported

    I've had Sky News on in the background today because my freeview seems to be broken. But I now really want the familiar voice of Huw Edwards. Don't think I am alone as iPlayer seems to have crashed too. #RIPQueenElizabeth

  • Mac_WiFi Andrew McHale (@Mac_WiFi) reported

    @TheCMReed @Potato_Fi @TurtleBeach Nope, no change 😫 POV1 is “stuck” in freeview mode so I can’t do things like select the throttle in training mode. I’m guessing this isn’t an issue on yours then which gives me hope for a fix from TB

  • MattGannon_44 Matthew Gannon (@MattGannon_44) reported

    @mikelavelle93 The stobart one was an interesting idea as in theory the lorries would have been good marketing - although I never recall seeing many and it would really need a freeview TV deal to capitalise

  • DJGaryBaldy DJGaryBaldy 🎧 (@DJGaryBaldy) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV Was it Forces TV who showed them before it shut down I know they've been on TV not so long back as I recorded them on my old Freeview PVR

  • 46Ruthie Whyamidoingthis. (@46Ruthie) reported

    @itvnews maybe the younger people should cancel all tv subscriptions & make do with freeview,reduce nights out, they don’t need new clothes, Want, Need ,Afford.
