  • AddingRandomWit 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

  • aquablu Nicola (@aquablu) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    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🎅🤶🌲

  • 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.

  • DSheight DwightSheight (@DSheight) reported

    @SamanthaMalin When we're over in Spain we've got a Freeview box with only about 8 or 9 channels that actually work. It's bliss. And we wind up watching stuff we never normally would in the UK with our 20 million Sky channels & Netflix. It really takes the pressure off so I get that totally.

  • Poddster Lee Griffiths (@Poddster) reported

    @rvkirk I have a love/hate relationship with Sharpe. Love: it's a great show. Hate: in the early days of Freeview I'd be scrolling through the EPG and get very excited to see Sharpe, only to find on switching that it was in UKTV Gold, which was a premium channel :( I never learnt.

  • mmaconachie Martyn Maconachie (@mmaconachie) reported

    I don't like to be the bearer of bad news, but my EPG on Freeview is now saying #TOTP is not on until 9:30, and it's not the 13th December episode.

  • beylul15 bey (@beylul15) reported

    damn i haven’t watched freeview tv in a while & I don’t know how to feel about that 😭

  • hozspur Global Fitness Solutions (@hozspur) reported

    @laazarini7 @pokeefe1 I didn't even bother watching that **** on MNF yesterday. Guessing Neville and Carragher won't be renewing their fat new contracts out of protest and that the Carabao Cup Final will now be on freeview

  • Arsenal0819 Arsenal Mania (@Arsenal0819) reported

    To really bring football back to fans and boot the rich out of football - all matches to be shown on freeview channels I’m sure SKY will support this 🤡

  • NotRollergirl Daisy Buchanan (@NotRollergirl) reported

    I am emphatically the least sporty of sporters but I feel terrible for archery. It looks really, really demanding and difficult - and also not something I’d watch as long as the Food Network remains on Freeview.

  • GeoffBrewer Geoff Brewer @RenewParty #FBPE #APPG @MakeVotesMat (@GeoffBrewer) reported

    2/ the EE TV service. What are other formerly happy EE TV clients feeling about and doing about this? Is there any way we can continue to use the EE TV box for receipt, recording Freeview programmes etc ?

  • AlresfordBear Alresford Bear and the Town Mill Teddy Posse (@AlresfordBear) reported

    Think I may be in a situation of complex filtering of Freeview signal.
