  • 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

  • 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

    of all the streaming services I use (there are many as I don't have freeview, sky or virgin) @ITV is by far the worst... works as and when it wants, freezes, jumps, and won't let you pause/rw or fw... thank goodness I don't watch many of their shows...

    @SirEdwardBooth @DavidPoulden You never paid the BBC , you paid TV Licencing which you need to pay to watch GBNews live on Freeview or Sattelite.

    @space_librarian @libmichelle We never went above BBC Four on Freeview, unless it’s a hop to Cbeeies - thank god that worked. Our home-made internet was actually better than the BT provider, but our booster aerials were in the church spire and the pub… which made Teams calls weird in lockdown

    Replay of yesterday's game on Viaplay Freeview just now. Aaron Moy, what a game he had. Never put a foot wrong 👏👏👏

    @pauljonesking Hi, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with the Freeview Play service. So we can look into this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

    @FreeviewAdvice Freeview TV reception has been awful in Portsmouth for months. It's getting worse. Please do something about it, your service is a joke.

  • lostinfens1 lostinfens (@lostinfens1) reported

    @DanielFooksArt Twitter's a bit like flicking through Freeview channels. Most of it is crap, some of it is harmful but occasionally it's educational or even uplifting. It's also the top venue to make a **** of yourself after 1 too many shandies.

  • oddurbauer Oddur Gunnarsson Bauer (@oddurbauer) reported

    @GoonerWaffle @LauraKirk12 Just a quick pointer from an Icelandic native, you can get the Freeview channels here if you get your internet service through a company called Kapalvæðing.

    @richlonges Hi Richard, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview Reception. So, we can investigate this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • cllr_LeGresley Nigel Le Gresley (@cllr_LeGresley) reported

    @GBNEWS I am now streaming my TV through BT as our aerial reception of various Freeview channels is poor, especially in bad weather. That means we have the channels THEY give us and GB News is not available. This is discrimination in the extreme and you should take it up with BT.
