@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!

@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.

@Geates @BBCLookEast I was a big BBC4 viewer but they lost me & a lot of viewers by not transmitting in HD on the Freeview platform from the Sudbury transmitter, ie. Ipswich. They always did on Freesat which I invested in back in 2004 as the analogue reception was awful.

@SkyNews We don’t need BBC, they may as well close down, there are 100’s of free Chanel’s on freeview plus all the sky channels.

Its so stupid. When I was younger the only thing my family could afford was a freeview box so I spent a lot of time watching CBBC. BBC say "kids spend all of their time on Netflix or Disney +" what about those like younger me who couldn't afford them?

@BBC just heard about your planned changes. Idiotic. Why move bbc3 to Freeview and then take away bbc4. I never watch bbc3 but very regularly watch bbc4. This is a summing down move. Not everyone has iPlayer on their TVs. Also moving 4extra to Sounds. We mainly listen in the car

@MikeReadUK @TalkingPicsTV It’s a wonderful series but I struggle with it as there are no subtitles on Freeview. (Hint!) Any chance an observation by yourselves might kick such essential support into action so I can really enjoy it without missing chunks of conversation?

BBC3's audience is all online. Going linear won't compensate for low-quality content. BBC3 failed online, it'll fail on Freeview. BBC4's target demographic are all linear consumers, they do like the content. Killing-off BBC4 to keep BBC3 on Freeview makes absolutely zero sense.
