    @ITVX I wish I could or that Freeview took on this network a lot of us on pensions can't afford satalite or cable

    @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.

    @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

    @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!

    Going to my friends house who had Sky and I had channels 1-5. I was like damn my friends are rich! Freeview changed my life.

    @MatthewRimmer @MockTheWeek In Wales its Freeview channel 12, I believe Sky has a different channel down in the hundreds.

    @BBCFOUR4 Showing what I assume is a repeat but I've not seen it. 7pm Freeview 9 #Squirrelonmyshoulder an orphaned grey. I'm guessing before the draconian rules came into place. When people were allowed to help the injured, old or orphaned regardless of criteria.

    @SkyUK why is there no subtitles on Sky Mix on Freeview at moment during Star Trek: Voyager episode. Your IT guys sleeping on the job or awake and trying to fix it? #startrekvoyager #skymix #Freeview

    @AndrewBrazier1 They are ending freeview signal in few years blaming it on 5G attention & focus but they then will use iplayer only and u will pay to sign in like u do with all the rest now, itv will move to pay sign in but this will change the quality and content of what tv they will make 2030

    @ChrisHazzardSF My understanding is that RTE services work on the Freeview platform via terrestrial signal deep beyond the boarder counties. With RTE themselves saying that the signal strength is high in the boarder region and moderate beyond

    @JayBryan_DJ @BBCStokeSport Freeview for sure, be too late to scramble a crew down there for now. Be 2 hours of Gardening tips instead no doubt

    @MajQapla The Encore app is a catch up only service, and doesn't show live TV. I expect Abigail's Party will be added after broadcast. I watch TPTV via Virgin media channel 445, I know it is on Freeview (81?)
