@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!

@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.

@haroldthimbleby Some years back when we had broadband I thought I'd have a look at freeview via aerial to save money but couldn't get a signal. Then when weeding one day I found a coiled up coax cable where next door had been working on their gutters, cut the cable and just decided to hide it.

@SorrelMayWood We take up the offer of 30 days free from time to time. Nice while it lasts, but as we usually joke that the Amazon order will arrive at least 3 days before it says it will, it never seems worth paying. (We wouldn't use the other features - way too much to watch on freeview.)

@ContactKingston @FreeviewTV @FreeviewAdvice Thank you for reply. I don’t know but freeview asked if there were any roadworks going on.. & there are others in KT2 that it’s affecting.. & no issues with Crystal Palace transmitter 🤔

@BBC No, because we can't see anything! There have been so many Freeview outages, again today. We've had days & days of no service. Can't get terrestrial or other channels. The old TVs were far better in terms of reliability. Now, planes affect service, weather affects service, etc.

@MartinSLewis Don’t have any streaming services. I can watch a couple of hundred channels of utter crap on freeview/freesat or free online, or pay stupid money to watch several thousand channels of even more utter crap.

@TalkingPicsTV Please make an Xbox app for encore. It would compete me (terrible freeview reception means I can’t get the broadcast channel)

@BazTheHaff Yeah that’s the problem, we can’t usually get a picture properly with freeview so just stream all our telly through the apps.
