  • 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

  • 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🎅🤶🌲

    @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.

    @CharlieFBBaker1 This test is between my two national sides and has been incredibly stupid, which is brilliant. I should be allowed to watch it on Freeview

    @Ihatethisdumbf1 @RowdyRe80996794 @colinbrazierGBN BBC 1, 2, 3 Parliament, News, they still have both the ones you mentioned - they dropping because they are underfunded They built the freeview network - no business would have done that as it a public service

  • _BEEJ_MUFC Bethany Jane Hitchen🐝 (@_BEEJ_MUFC) reported

    @virginmedia Just the freeview channels, spoken to someone and they have stated your colleagues that sold us the package have taken all of our channels, therefore have mis-sold a service, waiting to speak to a manager, however I will be contact trading standards as a product has mis-sold

  • bucksdeathwish bee 🌸 (@bucksdeathwish) reported

    @katiephipps some people really don’t get it, netflix can cost nearly £16 a month whereas freeview costs nothing, getting rid of cbbc is just another kick in the teeth for low-income. i don’t think some people understand what it means to be poor it makes me so angry

  • Crayon28715896 Mark (@Crayon28715896) reported

    @SkyNews It’s a shame the picture on Sky News is terrible (Freeview). I’d of watched more on Sky News if the picture wasn’t so bad.
