  • 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

  • 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!

    @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

    @ITSBIGTONE @FreeviewTV On other social media freeview is now being called crap tv. I'd have to say the service is disgusting and a note to advertiser using freeview platform. Waste of cash thousands are being denied a signal

  • peaceprone ~🔱∆t //ØçÑ🕊️ (@peaceprone) reported

    @FrancesCook Forcing the culture clash will be entertaining in itself. I think the issue is that tv is a dead dog, and video content providers can focus on just that, producing content. But free www, not freeview

  • SomhairleMM Somhairle Buidhe (@SomhairleMM) reported

    @oshaymoishe1 @alwaysresister 2 1/2, now you remind me - still have an old analogue portable with Freeview set-top box in case of emergency! Also 3 laptops, though that's not half as swanky as it might sound ;-) 1 work, 1 old & this one an embarrassingly bad waste of money... :-/

  • NOWHelpTeam NOW Help Team (@NOWHelpTeam) reported

    @petew2804 Hi Peter, Whether you've got a Smart Box with Freeview or a Smart Box with 4K and Voice Search, you'll find the reset button on the bottom of your Box. For a factory reset, hold the button down for about 6 seconds.

    Oh not again! Brighton Festival on @bbcsoutheast Yesterday it was Redhill in the Home Counties @BBCLondonNews area. For God's Sake please let's be rid of this so-called "South-East" news service from the Bluebell Hill Freeview mast with its constant references to Brighton.

  • LukaMoric14 Brian (@LukaMoric14) reported

    @shattenstone Totally agree Lots of great arts programmes over the years Will they find a home elsewhere or quietly disappear? Has the BBC seen Sky Arts channel on Freeview and thought, that's it, we don't need to bother anymore? Is it the new DG plan to dumb down?

  • Kewjonrichard wife seeker (@Kewjonrichard) reported

    @FreeviewTV @JimIrvineUK It's late I shall protest to my mp and find out if there is a regulater. In meantime I shall collect newspaper emails and inform them how unreliable and what a terrible service you offer. I'm amazed how people advertise on freeview they need to know many can't see their adverts

  • AdeBamber Ade Bamber (@AdeBamber) reported

  • ROBERT12772279 ROBERT GRIFFITHS (@ROBERT12772279) reported

    @freeview no signal Sutton Coldfield transmitter

  • agarethgates Not The Singer (@agarethgates) reported

    UK baseball fans let's face it @btsport clearly paid for a number of years' rights and are just seeing it out. They'll lose it like they did the NBA because they've blown all their money on Champions League and now the stupid WWE. Time to get a freeview box and MLBTV #OpeningDay
