    If we're in lock down for another 3 weeks, I really feel the #sonyChristmasChannel should be put back on #freeview...Will keep people in the house ( okay, it'll easily keep me in the house🎅🤶🌲

    @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.

    @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!

    @PidginPosting to be expected for Gobby Bigot News, the **** channel has been deleted from my freeview recorders.

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @Mucky1 Most Freeview connected TVs & set top boxes can receive the service.

  • PaulCon64272244 Paul Constance (@PaulCon64272244) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice My postcode is NR32 3BX and my house number is 18. I don't have a Freeview HD television only a Freeview television. Is this the problem?

  • twitdwood David Woodley (@twitdwood) reported

    @GBNEWS like me, tired of watching early morning GBNEWS? Try Aljazeera (Freeview 235). Real news, intelligently presented. GBNews has become the most boring, crass breakfast programme. It gets better later in the day but first thing is awful!

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

  • 2_Wheeled_Wolf @2_Wheeled_Wolf 🇪🇺 (@2_Wheeled_Wolf) reported

    @commuteer_ahoy what do you expect from rehashed bigoted Wright Show from the #ScourgeOfTheTVChannels, just enforces why to never watch that **** channel or even have it on my freeview boxes.

  • EarsAllex Room Z (@EarsAllex) reported

    Currently using an external aerial & dish to receive Sky & Freeview. Is it possible to remove dish & aerial & get both down a fibre optic phone line?

  • KernowChris Christopher Rowe (@KernowChris) reported

    BT launch internet Freeview for BTTV. Service available after a box reset.

  • Superfried Superfried (@Superfried) reported

    Question. Our TV is old + our digi box is awful. So until I fork out for a new TV – what is the best streaming stick – Chromecast / Amazon / Roku? Do any also do Freeview?

  • LMurphyy Lewis Murphy (@LMurphyy) reported

    @bt_uk Just ordered, as previously had a failed install due to weak aerial signal. Are the freeview channels now over internet available to be recorded? Thanks
