@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.

@richhawk73 @rebekkarnold I'll never pay Dazn a penny again after their supposed freeview coverage of this WCC. The ads couldn't be more intrusive.

@DAZNFootball @FIFACWC Your coverage on freeview is the worst coverage I've ever seen. Banner every few minutes blocking all the action, miss half the game. Disgusting coverage.

@DailyMail I read this & it pisses me off what criminals get in UK prisons. Beauty salon, barista training, cells with TV, Freeview, DVD player, library they can order films & books from. Oh & she is PAID A WAGE. ******* disgusting. Prisons here aren't that bad, no wonder so much crime!

@GBNEWS Why is there always sound problems on GB news on Freeview? I like the channel, but I’m put off with the slight dubbing problem.

@snoddy114 @LauraJade877 @Freeview I don't know if anyone else is complaining. It's not been mentioned much anywhere in the news as much. Surely other Freeview viewers must be experiencing the same issue.

Also, every time there is a rescan demanded by Freeview, there’s always a problem with the signal & reception causing the aerial to be moved. Terrible service!!!!! @Ofcom sort this s**t out!!!

@DiscussingFilm It’s looks awful. Naturally he had to be married to a black woman and the show host has to be black. Tick those boxes paramount. I’ll watch in 5 years when it’s on Freeview channel 36 or some ****
