    @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

    @stonecoldjohn73 Hi, You may receive your signal from another transmitter. Good news you have your Freeview reception restored. Please DM your postcode, house name/number if you require further advice. Kind Regards Melissa

    @zoom_96 @jeehaeda We have Sky and Freeview and haven't been to see any Olympic golf. Coverage has been awful.

    @JoePalmerUK @itvhub Couldn't figure out how to do the Freeview on our new TV so on the net too. It's crap!

  • DBofficial125 DBofficial125 (@DBofficial125) reported

    @YVimalathevan @TrishSpeirs48 @TheJudasSociety But freeview is a big deal? The biggest channels are freeview in the UK. Being on a barely used subscription service is awful for growth. I suspect WWE get a better financial package in exchange however.

    The fact sky broadband is down is so annoying. I have a smart TV and now can't watch anything but freeview and teleshopping until the broadband and WiFi is back on. #skydown

    @WilliamAllen29 @Garbhan_D I presume they're only blocked where they can be blocked i.e. via Sky, where location of the viewer is known. It wouldn't be feasible to block thru Freeview, as that just works off of transmitters. Most countries have land borders, so signal leakage presumably tolerated re rights

    @Bob_Fischer Ah, is this why I've seen a few NE chums complaining of Freeview not working today? We nearly had a similar thing in 2018 when all of West Yorkshire and the countryside around Manchester was on fire, including Winter Hill, the main NW transmitter. During the World Cup too!

    I take it we're not alone in all channels having no signal from the Bilsdale transmitter on @Freeview?

  • Lisa7Pettifer Lisa Pettifer 🌈 (@Lisa7Pettifer) reported

    @jonathanteacher This is what we’re finding. I’m going into a no-contract basic package for now. If I find we’re still not getting more use out of it as a service than we could just get on Freeview boxes, then I’ll just ditch them.

    Anyone else in Sheffield having Freeview problems the past day or so?
