  • 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!

    @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

    Any reason why @BBCNews keeps losing signal on @FreeviewTV #bbcnews #freeview

  • sashasimic Sasha Simic (@sashasimic) reported

    Watching a jaw-droppingly saccharine krimi on some freeview channel featuring crime-busting nun #SisterBonniface clearing up the phenomenally high murder rates in a twee 50s English village that makes #Midsomer look like 70s New York. Hypnotically horrible.

  • sedition3 Adrianne Sebastian-Scott (@sedition3) reported

    Freeview not working, some London tube stations shut down.

  • StevenGillespi4 Steven Gillespie. (@StevenGillespi4) reported

    @GBNEWS Meaning I only have Freeview do have access to BBC but that is what it is spinning, Sky cinematic shots of explosions not bad but repeated endlessly GB News doing a sterling job I have heard discussioms & you have taken polls must say it's good.

  • mrg9999 mrg9999 (G8NNT) (@mrg9999) reported

    @alexbloor RT isn't closed down. It may have been removed on freesat, freeview but it still seems to be on the interweb

  • BrianBnew Brian Newcombe (@BrianBnew) reported

    A modicum of amusement in all this horror: Today's DT: Apparently "That's TV" (new TV channel on Freeview 91) will be showing all Monty Python episodes uncut from this Monday. Interesting, as an awful lot of it isn't very pc (by today's standards...).

  • gareth71 Gareth 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@gareth71) reported

    @WelshGasDoc @itvhub Oh yus. Dreadful. UK’s most popular soap (Corrie) not even on their front page any more. On iplayer you can start watching a prog on catchup any time after it’s started on Freeview - on ITV you have to wait until several minutes after it’s finished. And UI is *awful*.

  • S829MLY Asterism MS13 (@S829MLY) reported

    @PurplejelloS @itvnews I was watching terrestrial TV via an aerial on #Freeview before #ThisMorning went off air and the TV signal kept going, I lost all channels so I'm not sure it was down to TV centre....
