@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!

@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.

@virginmedia All the more reason to bin the TV service and just stream or use Freeview. Happy to save my money.

@Seons_Le @virginmedia Well we live in the first world bit hard to have 3rd world problems isn't it you clown we pay a fee we expect it to work if we don't pay a fee we get less than Freeview with a message telling us to pay on screen so why shouldn't we complain

@virginmedia avoid this lot. Landline hardly ever works, Internet says its fast but there are lags that mean you can't hold a normal MSTeams meeting and more TV stations on Freeview. Also impossible to cancel since you have to sit waiting for useless AI to respond. Just say NO

@FreeviewAdvice Hi most of our freeview channels suddenly totally lost their signal about 15 minutes ago, even though were fine earlier. eg itv1, itv2, ch4, suddenly gone on all TVs, though some eg bbc & 5usa still on. What's going on? Am in Bromley Kent BR1 area, near SE London.

@ImagesZx It seems to rely on what the definition of live TV. If a live program is available on Freeview, Cable TV or Sky (or any related streaming service) then that requires a license. You need for example a license to watch Sky News live on YouTube. (1/2)
