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
-
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!

Nicola (@aquablu) reported from Whitley Bay, EnglandIf 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🎅🤶🌲

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.

Louis May (M0nsoonYT) (@LouisMay07) reportedGutted about this… CITV was amazing for a kid who only had Freeview. Cartoons like Pokemon, Horrid Henry and Grizzly Tales, live action like Jungle Run. Kids today are missing out massively- I urge ITV to change this decision and keep CITV for the new generation. #SaveCITV

Tommy D (@TomDennison12) reported@FractalDoctor @DailyMail TV and radio is all that many elderly people have for comfort, especially living on their own with limited mobility, so yes, taking away Freeview is a bad idea. I doubt if too many 80 to 90 year olds have a fast broadband connection !

Tony Carrick (@tceesanfran) reported@jamosameo @cordbusters I agree the interface is awful for recording It's as if they only added the Freeview recording facility at the last moment in development... Was looking forward to this device for months but returned mine to Richer Sounds within the returns period

Maxine, Duchess of Survival 💪🏽🌻🌹💙 (@Maxine2xs) reportedWith Freeview, if your WiFi went down, you could still watch TV. With Freely, this isn't the case. It's horrendous. Maybe I'm imagining things? I wish I was.

billythebookie2025 (@billythbook) reported@Davidj0hnson123 Liquidity is well down on Betfair. never seen it so bad. Needs to be on a Freeview TV channel

Paul.D (@PaulDAFC) reportedFor any Gooners that never witnessed the greatest ever Title Run in before, but heard about it Tonight you can relive it like we did in 1989 It's showing on Freeview channel 27 U&Yesterday at 9pm Titled 89

nick renshaw (@nickrenshaw5) reported@BBC I hear that Freeview is being turned off at some point in the future. Well you will lose my payment for the TV licence as that's how I watch TV & if you get rid then I won't be able to watch & I'll cancel my licence. Not a very clever decision to make is it?
-
John Shale (@JohnShale864551) reported@freeviewonline looks likey the signal strength has hit an all-time low. How long before freeview no longer exists except for those who like usa cale tv and god botherers.

Scott Artus (@artuscartoons) reportedI know we've got a bad storm here etc. But I can't understand why the superfast broadband won't work or stream movies, but the digital freeview aerial works.

Anniroo the Essex Gel (@MaldonGirl1966) reported@fenlandflo Yes I used to listen to Smooth on Freeview but its disappeared now down here
