    @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!

    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🎅🤶🌲

    @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.

    @BBCFOUR4 Showing what I assume is a repeat but I've not seen it. 7pm Freeview 9 #Squirrelonmyshoulder an orphaned grey. I'm guessing before the draconian rules came into place. When people were allowed to help the injured, old or orphaned regardless of criteria.

    Watched the usual MSM crap 'News' on BBC, Sky, GB News, got bored, & switched to Al Jazeera Ch 252 on Freeview. I got a REAL perspective on their programme I didn't get from our own ones. Try them out 👍

    @readysetdrone I was really intrigued by the stitching issue you found closer to objects too. How possible is it to create a 360 video to YouTube with this drone? Where you can freeview rather than export a perspective.

    @jdpoc So, no internet and you have no tv, but to have internet you will have to (unlike freeview) login with id (because that's the way uk is heading), which means, even the tv channels you view will be logged in your record. Interesting country.

    @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.

    Obviously Freeview never asked AI how popular 70-year-old or maybe older cowboy films are or war films that they've flood their channels with? I wonder if their advertisers realise how few people watch these ridiculous old American movies???

    @SkyUK why is there no subtitles on Sky Mix on Freeview at moment during Star Trek: Voyager episode. Your IT guys sleeping on the job or awake and trying to fix it? #startrekvoyager #skymix #Freeview
