  • 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!

  • 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.

    @Ofcom Fed Up with watching TV full of rubbish to many reality TV and full of too many daily repeats. Freeview lies about new series that are just moved repeated on different channels. When are we going to receive good news every day instead of constant bad news?

  • juneandnoz June Taylor (@juneandnoz) reported

    @scott_steve It is important. But if you don't want to watch it Freeview and Sky are doing other stuff. So change channels. Not a problem

  • herkinderkin John Johnston (@herkinderkin) reported

    @radionzmusic @radionz I can't see any Freeview listings for RNZ National after today. We have rubbish radio reception and terrible internet here, so Freeview is our only option to hear Nashville Babylon. HELP!

  • tenjinuk Darren Wheatley (@tenjinuk) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Could you tell me if there is anyone I can contact to log a problem with Freeview reception?

  • IBLaughing Ian Bowden (@IBLaughing) reported

    How did Netflix & Chill get to be slang for a hook-up? What about Sky Q & ****? Amazon Prime & ****? Freeview & ****? All4 & ***********? That said, I do identify with Netflix the most. I want a commitment and if they try to leave I send several emails begging them not to.

  • lobwinners Michael (@lobwinners) reported

    @SaraelisGarvey Exactly! All of the radio stations are playing slow/sensitive music, 4 of the 5 main tv stations are playing special programming. We have 24 hour news on freeview for this. It’s way too much

  • BrianBengal BengalBrian #FBSI🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@BrianBengal) reported

    @daviebroon51 I have and am watching the court case on Freeview channel 89, so am for the most not subjected to the MSM crap. 👍

  • beajayemac bruce macfarlane #RejoinEU A49 (@beajayemac) reported

    @RichardPTh @martindvz No not at all. I've just scanned down all the FreeView channels and there were at least two which weren't featuring Nick the Greek.

  • LY33KH4 Lyeekha (@LY33KH4) reported
