@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.

@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!

@finchoid Joking aside, two of my mates are functioning ****** addicts. After beers once I chased the dragon with them. You know where you inhale the fumes? It was ****! They were out of it, I was looking for something to watch on Freeview. I was actually quite disappointed.

@FreeviewAdvice Hi Freeview we have an apartment block in Malton, North Yorkshire. All the TVs have been retuned but the signal is weak and on most of the TVs the picture or the sound is distorted. How can we resolve this problem as it is affecting our business... thanks

@thursdaysangelx Virgin Media and Freeview also have it but it would depend on what content they buy into. From what I have seen it tends to be older shows. You never know, it’s not a channel I watch that much.

Watching “Super Cyclone” (2012) on Great Movies Action (Freeview 41). Ridiculously cheap budget, low quality CGI special effects, amateur actors reciting scripted lines, narrow angle close-up shots (to disguise cheap small sets), corny dialogue. It’s so bad that it’s almost funny

@jwripple Ah, Ok: that sounds "better" John but maybe that's a relative term if the connection has come adrift! I hope you can get it fixed without too much of a problem. At least Sky Arts is free to view: one can access it via FreeView or FreeSat if you aren't already a subscriber.

@tstrachanedit I used to watch it every weekend when it was on freeview but could never justify the spend when it went behind a paywall. Couldn’t beat having a lazy Saturday with endless cuppa’s and just tv. Good times!
