  • 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🎅🤶🌲

    @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

  • JonnyRoLi 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.

    @smartin The version of C4 HD on Freesat and Freeview is the London ad region. This means C4 HD isn't eligible to move to 104 until the regional variants of C4 HD are added to Freesat, so it matches the current SD service.

  • sjjarrettHR Stephen Jarrett (@sjjarrettHR) reported

    @IanRedman11 @BBCNews Even when set to london no local news just red screen for 4 mins every 30 mins - its a BBC issue not a settings issue - you watch via Freeview you get local news or via sky you can retune to local news but via app on all hdmi plug in devices no local news

    @Brekkietweets @FreeviewTV Freeview is massively stuck in an SD slow lane, and by far the weakest of the TV platforms. Freesat is definitely the better of the two major free TV providers.

    "Freeview" now becomes "Everyone Television" Most people will still call it Freeview won't they? And like it or not we will be forced in time to receive TV(and yes radio)via a streaming service. As BT and the G'ment are phasing out landlines.
