    @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

    @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.

    @JonathanBrash How can that possibly be factual - you'd have to have the viewing figures for every film, show, drama, freeview, pay per view network available?

    Is there some reason only the @ITV 2 freeview signal keeps breaking up every evening? It's unwatchable and I've retuned the TV several times already.

    @leethommo I suppose it was the best of a bad job, the rest of the TV schedule (especially for tight wads like me who just have Freeview) was pretty appalling. Lots probably just watch out of habit (that’s kind of what we do). It was pretty grim though.
