    @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

    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.

    @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

    @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!

    @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.

    @paramountco your @My5_tv service needs a lot of work doing on it it keeps freezing and not starting programs from the catch-up menu on Freeview play.

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

    @PA That is really bad . On Freeview which is all many people still have there is almost nothing worth watching and now one thing that is has been cancelled. As a BBC defender It’s getting harder .Like the NHS slowly being dismantled

    @barton_jw @virginmedia I got so fed up with the price going up and up and the service getting worse and worse. I eventually told them stick their contract and went to BT and freeview Good luck cancelling though - they really don’t make it easy. Possible - but very difficult.

    @_BethanyRoseFox Lady Gaga is brilliant and not a bad actress - I think ‘a star is born’ is still up on one of the freeview channels

    @WarphobblerKaz @RslewisSally Dr. Google says the last Cathode Ray Telly was sold in 2000. So that's what we've got. I use it as a screen to play DVDs and belong to a DVD rental service. Definitely no.HDMI slots.Its got freeview so OH can watch his quiz programmes

    @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.

    Looking at TV Schedule on Freeview what a load of crap. The best television 1970-85 Present day comedians are performers without wit
