  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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!

    @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

    @Andrea25079843 We default to Netflix on such occasions, for content. We also make extensive use of Freeview and iPlayer to serve we parents and our juniors' TV ration. I can't speak to what specific content floats your boat Andrea, but Netflix is our go to subscription and cancel service.

  • cmh0000 Christine (@cmh0000) reported

    Anyone in Guernsey having problems with Freeview?

  • sidcelery Sid Celery (@sidcelery) reported

    @grahamefendle Also, Freeview is brilliant tbh. Pretty much the same as Virgin's basic package but without the porno and selling channels. Also allows me to delete channels such as that mongo GB News cuntery full of spastic propagandist gimps. **** them all. This is the way to go imo.

  • djbwells Darren Wells (@djbwells) reported

    @SimonJeremyMil1 @ThatsTVOfficial Same down in the South of Uk. We watch on satellite but would be handy to get it on freeview

  • muder1308 ModernTVGold (@muder1308) reported

    @Forces_TV @RadioTimes The time it debuted when W moved to the Freeview page on the 25-31 March 2022 issue. So it had to replace the defunct Fox channel on p5.

  • tommy210254 Thomas Hamilton IV (@tommy210254) reported

    @darrengrimes_ @ReasonedUK Still can't find this "TV Channel" on freeview. Do I need to retune? Could someone from Tufton St help me out financially?

  • pilgra01 Alf (@pilgra01) reported

    @GBNEWS Once people cancel the Sky or Virgin or BT tv packages and just watch Freeview - if they are still in poverty maybe some Domestic Science lessons on how to cook from ingredients - easy

  • embee200 Mark Anthony Cameron 🇬🇧 (@embee200) reported

    @VoiceofCal It's only if you watch or record live TV or watch anything on iPlayer which is the BBC's own video on demand service. This includes any channel broadcasting in the UK, Sky, freesat, even freeview tv-the channels preprogrammed into a TV when you buy it.

  • DSkippings Darren Skippings (@DSkippings) reported

    This privatisation of Ch4, would include the stake in freeview that is part owned between BBC, ITV and CH4, another terrible idea, from our government of terrible ideas.

  • CorriganPaul Paul Corrigan (@CorriganPaul) reported

    @MediaGuido @netflix That is a false equivalence given geographic spread of their markets. If Ch4, Beeb & ITV had used Freeview and their channels more effectively they could have brought Sky to their knees. An ITV bid seems like a great idea but gov support to gain funds for expansion sensible too
