    @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.

    @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

    @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!

    @a516digital Just to add, looking for a legit service. Just want the basic freeview channels really.

    At launch, BBC and Crown Castle multiplexes could only carry four SD channels each. This was the trade off between a robust signal and capacity. • At the time, Freeview had to use low power as it was shoehorned in around high power analogue broadcasts.

    @kasey__moore @EntStrategyGuy Freeview & Freesat are anti streaming & free btw besides they’re operating more differently than subchannel networks that mostly only carry classic tv shows. Britain treats TV as a different marketplace & more of a public service than a tech ceo doing charity work in Jackson, MS

    @BLAZETVUK I've been trying to enjoy Monster Week but the constant glitches in the sound have been driving me crazy. It's the same on Freeview and Freesat and only your channel. Are you aware of this problem?

    @MillieMatters @GaryLineker Well it was useful advice. It's not my problem that you decide not to act on it. So, you're not forced to pay a licence fee. You choose to so you can watch Freeview. You have internet on your phone that you can tether to another device btw.

    @MarkWai84310597 Hi, Mark. If your Freeview box is stuck on boot even after switching it off and back on again, check your boxes manual to see if there is a reset procedure. Otherwise, you'll need to contact the boxes manufacturer for support on resetting it. Fraser

    Note: Freeview web site says NOW 80s, Clubland TV and NOW 90s is NO LONGER broadcasting on the Manchester TV Network.

    @Channel4 Has anyone else noticed that channel 4s Freeview TV guide schedules are an hour out? Meaning that series record isn't working either. The guide is showing that shows are on an hour earlier than they start!!! What a terrible mistake!

    @UKtodayUK I am absolutely disgusted that for months now I've had problems with Freeview. Time it was sorted out ASAP. Trying to watch a film, on, off. Think we should get some compensation from the TV licence.
