  @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.

  @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!

  @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

  @BLAHBLAHBL53710 @ECOWARRIORSS u are missing the point, it is swapping from the current freeview to streaming services etc tv licence is a different issue

  @lyncey_gilbe @skytv I’m sorry for your loss. I don’t know what service you have, but ring them again and talk to someone different. My father in law had issues paying sky bill and they dropped tv down from £60/m to just tv essentials (freeview channels for Q) for £5/m til end of contract.

  Wherever you can watch Free TV. Isn't Freely free TV 🤔 When TLC was launched on Freely channel 17 it's not really Freely it's more Freeview. Anything that comes from an aerial is Freeview and not Freely. Misleading channel like Rewind TV say we are on Freely channel 141 how many viewers watch Rewind TV on Freely maybe 1%. Most Freely viewers don't access to an aerial. Freely is really good in Freeview lite areas because Freeview lite areas have hardly any channels and the signal is very poor when high pressure comes in and relay Transmitters have hardly any power. The range of relay Transmitters is about 5 miles and the main Transmitters range is about 45 miles. The main Transmitters kills most of the relay Transmitters in high pressure conditions this is when Freely comes into action with no interference from the weather.

  @FreeviewAdvice In 2036 approx when a future government switches off Freeview, will we need to buy ‘Smart’ TVs to watch the proposed internet service? If not, how will we watch internet tv on our current TVs? I watch terrestrial television, not satellite. @DCMS #savefreeview

  @leethommo I suppose it was the best of a bad job, the rest of the TV schedule (especially for tight wads like me who just have Freeview) was pretty appalling. Lots probably just watch out of habit (that’s kind of what we do). It was pretty grim though.

  i hope TNA pulls back somehow, also hope they put their foot down about this WWE partnership, be it gaining something from them or just cutting the tie entirely TNA has a special place in my heart since i wasnt able to watch wwe without sky sports and they were on freeview 😔
