  • Oliver_Wok wok (@Oliver_Wok) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @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

  • 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.

    @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!

    @reformexposed Ooh maybe because if the bbc were forced to go subscription, it would get rid of freeview, funded by the tv licence, so to watch tv you would have to pay a blooming fortune on a subscription service?

  • fussyaboutlife fussyaboutlife (@fussyaboutlife) reported

    I'm fussy about my music. I used to be into rock music like Kerrang! But these days to be safe I listen to Freeview radio stations Capital and Heart radio... don't get me wrong I'm still crazy about trance and techno. U never lose the love for TR & TKNO.

    @EdwardJDavey The BBC is a shitshow of garbage and mostly non English persons. It should be axed from freeview. It tries to force people into giving it money with the threat of prosecution if you dont.
