@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!

@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.

@JasonJDaniel @PopBase Never watched, used or subscribed to Netflix and I never will, I love freeview and I don’t care. It’s also completely free to watch YouTube, which I do a lot of anyway. I don’t need a paid online subscription if I can watch something for nothing.

@rogermosey @bbcnickrobinson I'm bothered that the free-to-air service that is Freeview seems to be on the decline. Watched "the other side" yesterday and the signal was interrupted badly several times.

Anyone else experiencing poor Freeview reception on some channels this morning? Probably something to do with atmospheric conditions. Sporadic E?

@ITVX @ITVXhelp I just say as I see… it’s ****, if you check Twitter looks like it’s the same for pretty much everyone using the freeview app…maybe get your tech team to actually build a fresh app that just works? It’s literally never worked properly since day one

@DrRocke @FreeviewNZ @Primetv_NZ All we have to go on is this statement "You can look forward to more new channels in the year ahead too". Maybe Discovery is bringing it's Food Network to Freeview but who knows at this point.

@_tomasibray @a516digital At the moment when you checked poor old cinderella Freeview its the red screen, it isn't dead at the moment on HD and then they show some BBC programme clips before 7pm.

@TomABacon @Plusnet Funnily enough that was one of the first things I read when Googling the problem, but we don't have Sky and the Humax (freeview) STB isn't connected to the Internet.

@spuddemos @ITVX There's an app for your phone or computer or your TV (like BBC iplayer). But if you only get terrestrial channels or Freeview "live" on your TV, you might have to get someone to help you set it up.
