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!

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
-
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.

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

Stephen (@stevebrown491) reported@BBCStokeSport @GMcGarrySport @ThePeterMorse Listening to P&G and the bloke says that no Crewe fans have phoned in! No **** Sherlock, why should we phone in when you can’t be bothered to put us on the RADIO - just in case you don’t understand, Freeview is not available to most people who are not at home! Only 2 teams played

Harvey Wood (@HarveyWoodphoto) reported@LGUKCare Hi. You need to address why the FreeSat guide on your TV's takes up to 30sec to load and populate. Doesn't happen on Freeview which I have upstairs. Your (all too frequent) updates could fix this easily but you dont. 10K of TV RAM mem could sort this annoying nonsense.

Joseph H Clarke (@clarkejoseph49) reported@aVillainsWorld @Noahgilberto19 And not having Zero hour matches carry over into the Pay Per View. Let’s not forget, some people can’t access PPV in the event of financial issues, internet issues, or being stuck with Freeview.

CinOvation 📽 (@CinOvation) reported@roland26750 @silverfoxdude @FunMovieTVFan It's on Peacock in the U.S. and on Netflix in several international territories. It was originally available on the Audience Network (formerly Freeview) before the service shut down in May, 2020.

Stephen Neal (@Stephen_Neal) reported@UHD4k @Bobbinz @SVGEurope Afraid although I work for BBC Studios (which makes shows for the BBC) I have no insight into what iPlayer may support in the future. AAC was chosen for Freeview HD because Dolby had no equivalent receiver-mix audio desc'n support in 2009ish when the platform was standardised.

KennyBilly (@KeepingKen) reportedOver 13 million households across the UK currently rely on Freeview - and residents could be forced to fork out an additional £20 monthly and potentially purchase a new television set if the service is discontinued, experts have cautioned.

Michael Clarkson (@ria_747) reported@Stephencheatley @virginmedia Just get freeview or freesat, Stephen. I’ve got Virgin media broadband and to be fair I’ve never had any problems.

IronWorks1990 (@IronWorks1990) reported@dskiuk2 @Danrocsky76 @cordbusters I went Paris last year and our tv where we stayed was through through aerial, 50 odd channels and every single one of the was HD. Freeview now is terrible in 2026, full of shovelware channels and hardly any HD channels, SD channels look awful as well.

David Carroll (@DavidCarrollIr1) reportedI got to hear a very good service on SBN this morning (late night in the USA), about the Antichrist and when he will be arising. I am now thinking that it is after the rapture. Those of you seeking God would do well to watch SBN on Freeview 94 or elsewhere in the USA.

Leigh Rumbelow (@MeadowAFCW) reported@itvfootball TV constantly stuttering. Is it my Freeview TV or the signal? I may have to fire up the laptop.
