    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🎅🤶🌲

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • waccoetom Tom (@waccoetom) reported

    @leeds_lord Just cancelled Sky, bill went from £57 to £97, for the simple explanation that I’d been a customer for 18 months 🤔 Gone to City Fibre internet and use my Apple TV to stream Netflix, Prime, and all freeview channels with an option for sports pass through the Now TV app.

    Would be cool if @vodafoneNZ did a software update on the VodafoneTV units just prior to them being shut down that turned them into an untethered Freeview/internet TV hub.

  • JonathanWood3 Jonathan Wood 💉 (@JonathanWood3) reported

    @ajb4371 @TheMiddleStump Pretty bad that there aren't even any freeview highlights of overseas tests now. At least you get that for home tests

  • dearaunty .Dear Aunty (@dearaunty) reported

    A movie on freeview - The Columnist - 2019... ''Femke'.. is flooded with threats, harassment and negative comments on social media but becomes addicted to the attention & eventually decides to hunt down the trolls'' Wonder where they got that idea from....*thinks*

    @GBNEWS @GBNEWS Are you aware the lip sync on Freeview has been really bad this evening? I hope it can be fixed.

  • MiserableBlader Judas McCabe (@MiserableBlader) reported

    Shocked that @footballheaven had Donny on Freeview yesterday. No idea what digital radio is like in Sheffield area but I can confirm that even awful MW is more reliable than FM in many parts of Sheffield and freeview is the only way to get audible commentaries for many #sufc

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    The Bilsdale Quarry temporary transmitter failed at just before 1:45pm this afternoon. Freeview is advising affected viewers to not retune. Normal service continues from relay transmitters in the area, which are using a satellite back-up to maintain services.

  • MikeStagg6 Mike Stagg (@MikeStagg6) reported

    Cobblers from Freeview I replaced all cables power and internet and took down all the accessories such as dvd player so all we have is basic box and television all new but it even blew out the satellite and I spent 1/2 hour reset It is Not our Cables it is Broadcast Aerial Hacker
