  • 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

  • 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!

    @AlanJohnson1959 @LeeHurstComic Its awful. I only watch the food network on freeview, other than i only use prime for shows/movies as living in a rural place it saves me a fortune on fuel for deliveries

  • E17Observatory Walthamstow Observatory (@E17Observatory) reported

    Hi @plex, Seasons Greetings to you all. I'm looking to add a USB TV device to my @NVIDIASHIELD, I'd prefer to use Freesat as it's better quality than Freeview but @HauppaugeHQ say you don't support DVB-S - is this likely to change anytime soon - especially as DVB-T is at risk?

  • southnuk Natasha South (@southnuk) reported

    @SamsungUK I have a UE437U7020KXXU LCD and approx. 6 months ago Samsung TV Plus automatically installed and removed my Freeview channels. I managed to get rid of the channel but it keeps coming back like a bad smell every time I auto retune.

  • animallovercat2 Alison (@animallovercat2) reported

    Well. I'm glad I didn't see Mama Mia 2 at the cinema. Just saw some of it on Freeview. What a pile of ****. Nothing like that first one.

  • LittleTed84 Chris Roberts (@LittleTed84) reported

    @ITVXhelp You haven't even managed to launch on You view the Freeview platform, and from your response you don't currently have any plans to do so, which is rather worrying, never mind the missing BritBox content Doc Martin you only have S9 & S10, Britbox has S1 to S10 🤬

  • adebradley Adrian Bradley (@adebradley) reported

    Is it possible that BBC have a better/stronger freeview signal than ITV HD?

  • geospacedman Barry Rowlingson🐺 (@geospacedman) reported

    @Dragons8mycat I think I saw it on a Freeview listings and thought I might be able to find it on the channel's streaming service. Oh well, I'll cancel my Netflix sub after watching them...

  • KirkyFromMars Kirky (@KirkyFromMars) reported

    @westonfront It has recently been shown on That's TV (Channel 8 Freeview) and after 10 minutes I had had enough. What was funny and perhaps groundbreaking 50 years ago isn't now. Til Death Us Do Part on now and that's terrible now.
