  • 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

  • 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!

    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🎅🤶🌲

  • 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.

    @TalkingPicsTV Question - I normally watch you via Virgin - where I know I can't access Encore (yet) but put my (Samsung) TV on Freeview last night and got a "TPTVEncore is not available on this device" message when I pressed red. Is it a Samsung issue?

  • eltomas87 Tom Shaw (@eltomas87) reported

    @Jaack Before sky took sky sports news off freeview I loved my Saturdays playing footy manager on laptop with soccer Saturday on TV! Now I just stream the game I want to watch! If they don't want people to stream make it affordable and bring ticket prices down

    15/ I withdrew my FREEVIEW content that never earned its keep, and essentially cost me a roof over my head. And yes I was bitter that one video accidentally went out for free, as it has cost me bricks that would have been something towards a deposit at least.

  • feckingpsycho Ted with TM (that's Transverse Myelitis) (@feckingpsycho) reported

    @WasDaveOnce @SeasideChris It went straight off! Never seen Bad Neighbours but it was a limited choice on Freeview! Quite funny in a couple of places but still better than the usual dross they kick out on Saturdays and, like you, what's the f'ing point...🤬

  • ValidoWilliam Happy Halloween 🎃 (@ValidoWilliam) reported

    I'll watch both MKR AU and Fair Go on TVNZ+ @agitopop @kstew70 because the Freeview signal is bad, so I'll watch it on Catch up, same goes for FBoy Island.

  • SteveHall_Indpt Steve Hall (@SteveHall_Indpt) reported

    Other ITV Channels Currently Down on Freeview Channels 6. ITV2, 10. ITV3, 26. ITV4 and +1 channels Channel 103 HD is the only one working.

  • 1Soloneo WeAreLegion ❤️ ♤ 🌈☮️ (@1Soloneo) reported

    @JackBurton80s @sometimesjohn @anon_opin £60 a month is criminal. Who’s stupid enough to pay for that when you can wait a bit & have that crap everyone else has paid for for free on freeview?

  • StarShipSofa StarShipSofa (@StarShipSofa) reported

    @adamfootdev Hi Adam, sorry to be a pest. That Freeview isn’t in the AppleTV store. I love yours and Apple TV just out. Your app is so clean and tidy. Could it be tweaked just to show 8hrs? Even if it was a pro version at an extra cost. And id give you a nice plug on my shows to help
