    @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.

  • 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

  • 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!

    @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

    @andyfidler66 Hi Andy, I am so very sorry you cannot access Channel 51. The number of channels available on Freeview depends on where you get your television signal from. Great Christmas Movies broadcast on a Local MUX (frequency) which unfortunately is not available from all transmitters.

    Freeview tv is ****, no wonder no body pays for a TV licence

    @Richard92654559 Hi Richard, I am sorry to hear that you have been having issues with your Freeview channels. So we can look into this further can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • JStewart_15 Josh Stewart (@JStewart_15) reported

    @Katht2711 Have you got an aerial plugged in? I do as when broadband goes down freeview will still work

  • rozlaws Roz Laws (@rozlaws) reported

    @jonnylaws1 No. Socket in wall connected to dish/aerial, which is connected to my box and is allowing me to watch tv that way. But I liked the option to also watch Freeview, handy if lots of progs on at same time. The ‘source’ on tv screen now says there’s no tv signal that way, not sure why
