    @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

  • AddingRandomWit 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

  • 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!

    @JohnNicholRAF @netflix I Should really cancel it, can’t remember last time I watched anything on it!. Ditched sky 3 years ago, don’t miss it. Freeview box with recording capability just fine. Have to say Britbox is pretty good

    @skytv @TalkTV Why is the picture and sound glitchy. The picture quality is great but it's just not playing correctly. Note... Rest of my channels are fine even CNN which in bad weather disappears 1st. Also freeview is working fine... Thank you.

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @robishungry How do you watch us Rob, as we are not experiencing any problems with broadcast - Freeview etc?

  • dawny_smith Dawny Smith (@dawny_smith) reported

    @Jillian22Betsy never had a subscription. Don'r have sly, virgin, netflix or anything other than freeview. Cancelling my mobile phone contract & dropping out as much as possible.

    @Bridgetpee You'll have Freeview tuner in a post 2016 tv. Plug in the satellite or terrestrial aerial and scan channels. Sometimes the Freeview settings need tweaking. Hit me up if you have problems

  • FY5 Lee TJ (@FY5) reported

    Masterclass in customer service from @virginmedia 34 mins on the phone with Customer Services to downgrade part our package, ended up cancelling the lot. Oh hum back to Freeview and ADSL with a 5g backup.

  • FatEvilBuddha Photoshop Tourette's 🇺🇦 (@FatEvilBuddha) reported

    @flossybball @murrayhead84 do you have anything else attached to the tv? i.e. freeview box etc? as the sound on that would need knocking down so you don't get fecked on the actual tv
