  • AddingRandomWit Adam Widdrington (@AddingRandomWit) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @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

  • 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.

  • 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

    @FreeviewAdvice retuning does nothing.. no channels! Looking at the local forums many people are experiencing the same. Can you comment on actual service status in the SG11 area? Information on tuning my Freeview box is useless if there are no services...

  • DempseyEN 𝘿𝙀𝙈𝙋𝙎𝙀𝙔 (@DempseyEN) reported

    @tamago2474 Freeview folks be like... Wtf are they talking about

  • JasonAtDavid Jason Stone (@JasonAtDavid) reported

    @FollowerAndy0 @jimwaterson Yes but won't piping it through Sky, Freeview etc massively mitigate the risk of it breaking down?

  • christt C.J. Thorpe-Tracey ⧖ (@christt) reported

    It’s weird that there are five or six miserable 24hr news channels on freeview but not one 24hr sports news channel. There’s a big gap right there for a broadcaster to pivot their stupid 24hr cycle from ‘relentlessly depressing’ to ‘relentlessly (mostly) uplifting and fun’.

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie (@Brekkietweets) reported

    With a rising British star it's important her finals are accessible free to air. Eurosport may use Quest for them, but they're likely to lose their HD channel soon thanks to slow and regressive progress on switching Freeview to HD.

    Good news,I've retuned my telly and picked up 14 channels. Bad news,they're still glitchy. #freeview #BilsdaleFail

  • agirlcalledlina •𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗔• (@agirlcalledlina) reported

    Do they talk about anything else on gammon telly other than cancel culture that is being broadcasted on freeview

  • dongapalouza Dongapalouza (°!°) (@dongapalouza) reported

    @syd_rochelle Ok, I see you asked this 8 years ago, and have almost certainly found out since then but I can't help responding... the answer is yes, yes they did! And it's now back on TV, on Freeview, on 'Forces TV'. Enjoy!

  • l999der Derek Rowley (@l999der) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I live in Washington and received freeview reception from Bilsdale. I have a very poor signal at the moment making viewing not possible When the temp 80m mast is commissioned will I then get a viewable signal?

    @Ashcroft46 Hi, Rick. If you're still not getting Freeview channels, try an automatic retune on your TV, if you haven't done so yet. If that doesn't work, please DM us your postcode and house name/house number so we can check your predicted coverage.
