    @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.

    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🎅🤶🌲

    @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!

    @carbon_robert @akfytwrestling Network is separate from BT... And BT is either part of it's own which it's a small part of, or with Sky or Virgin on various levels... and Raw and Smackdown are shown for free in shortened forms on the Freeview channels...

    @eugenekelly Really want to watch it but we have no telly signal here in the wild west highlands so can only get telly via Sky (which I don't have) or internet/firestick and I can't seem to find the Freeview Channels on that! Will investigate

    @virginmedia You’re impossible to get hold of via phone, online chat or your app?? Engineer wiped out my freeview tv when he installed our broadband hub and I need someone to come and fix it please

    I think it's so wrong and such a waste of signal space having +1 channels on @Freeview. Everyone can record or use catch-up services. More HD options would be far better.

    So I bought a new indoor aerial so I could use freeview... however I’ve discovered that when it’s on, it kills my already shoddy WiFi signal. Soooo openreach... where’s my god damn fibre 😭

    @HorrellValerie Afternoon Ann, there's only a few programmes on BBC1 or 2 that interests me, mostly watch freeview or sky (compliments of our son) but I listen a lot to radio4xtra, but that is now full of endless repeats. It's the awful wokeness on BBC that makes my blood boil. ☺

    How ******** are you meant to pay to watch the UFC if you only have a Freeview Smart TV?? LMAO

    Strange that I’m seeing tweets come up about #tippingpoint at the same time as I’m watching the same thing. People aren’t normally that lightning quick so how come my Freeview is running slow today?

    It's easy to be critical of ITV Racing, as they have no freeview competition, but does that mean we should keep quiet about how poor and shallow it is? Analysis is almost zero and they cram in too many races. The golden years of the BBC and C4 are memories. But bloody good ones!
