  • 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

  • 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!

  • Oliver_Wok wok (@Oliver_Wok) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @edgarwright @broccantyzack @itv2 Would make for a brilliant friday/saturday/sunday triple header. Would love to break it down into how many times a year they appear on freeview TV

    @danwootton Dan, I want to watch but it seems my Freeview signal is too weak on the GB News channel and no pictures appear. Only on that Channel. Any ideas? Thanks.

  • Brandonn1tw Br (@Brandonn1tw) reported

    Is there problem with Freeview transmitters?? This weekend @FreeviewTV

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @zakir___1988 Hi, Zakir. Whether live is available on a catch-up service would be down to the service itself, though generally, the catch-up services on Freeview Play are to be used in conjunction with the standard Freeview service. Fraser

  • ___stev_ie__ Steven (@___stev_ie__) reported

    @the_peakys @ALS_Fanzine Can you get the digital signal from the south, here in Belfast, they still block some stuff on freeview.

  • ToniLD Toni-L D (@ToniLD) reported

    @LatestTVBtn Hi folks, I know that your TV listings are down on the Latest TV site, but they have also gone missing from Freeview, please HELP

  • Nacelle1701 Helen (@Nacelle1701) reported

    Looks like this @SkyUK pin requirement is utter crap when I can go to the same programme requiring a pin on sky that is on freeview at the exact same time without having to put in a pin! @SkyHelpTeam

  • SJKSalisbury Steven (with a ph) (@SJKSalisbury) reported

    Every UK Hotel: Wi-Fi, gym, spa, swimming pool, six randomly selected Freeview channels including one you've never heard of and will never see again, on site car-parking...

  • DDubya82 Daniel Whittle (@DDubya82) reported

    @davechannel @NEReviews Watching on freeview transmitting from winter hill. It’s not isolated to this one programmes it’s multiple programmes, QI, house of games, travel man, and last night, the Bad Boys II movie. This is being watched on a panasonic TV with integrated freeview.

  • AndyGraysdouble Robert Martin (@AndyGraysdouble) reported

    @Honeythedog1 A contract is a contract, if they ramp the price up you can presumably repudiate it and go else where, like NOW, or be like me. I‘ll never take a SKY package. Freeview ( aka Cooncil telly +) , Amazon Prime and Netflix might be a decent low cost bet.

  • Stroudgreenguy J. Alfred Prufrock (@Stroudgreenguy) reported from Tottenham, England

    @Channel4 Hello. Can I watch Channel 4 *live* through the All 4 app on smart TV? All I see is catchup. I would like to watch CH 4 news every night but my aerial is broken, no Freeview. Please advise.
