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
-
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.

Andy.✝️🇬🇧 (@Smeeghee) reported@GBNEWS Why don’t you broadcast in HD on Freeview!! Ffs, it looks crap compared to Sky!
-
Crypto is the Future (@JosieGibsonBBuk) reported@PopeyeFreeview Freeview will close bit later then sky due to contacts ending on differnt dates The main share holder has stage four cancer and that’s the main reason for it closing down
-
LDH Marketing (@LDHMarketing) reported@BBCLookEast With landlines becoming broadband only, and Freely starting to replace Freeview we are becoming 100% dependent on broadband. That has dangerous implications for resilence if broadband goes down, or worse if you never had adequate broadband at all.
-
Velvettoatone (@TeamMPTS1) reportedAnother stupid idea is the 2034 plan to turn off Freeview. In no way will rural broadband be up to providing reliable services by then..the same applies to FM/MW radio. It's ridiculous meanness dressed up as 'progress' @SarahChampionMP @KarlTurnerMP @lukeakehurst

IronWorks1990 (@IronWorks1990) reported@dskiuk2 @Danrocsky76 @cordbusters I went Paris last year and our tv where we stayed was through through aerial, 50 odd channels and every single one of the was HD. Freeview now is terrible in 2026, full of shovelware channels and hardly any HD channels, SD channels look awful as well.

-
Leigh Rumbelow (@MeadowAFCW) reported@itvfootball TV constantly stuttering. Is it my Freeview TV or the signal? I may have to fire up the laptop.
