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

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

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.

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!

Chris A (@Chris5gd) reported@LGUK @LGUS Fairly appalled to discover that my elderly and frail parents' LG TV, recently bought for them as a gift, does not support the UK FreeView Play catchup services such as @itvhub. Very disappointing.

Chris Rugby (@rugby_chris) reported@LinebreakRugby I can understand some of the support for it from a money point of view but if rugby wants to get more people into the game it needs to be on Freeview.

mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported@ukdtt @tvlive @GeoffGilham A lot of people i speak to have got fed up and run out on freeview, problems with reception associated with the costs of installs, and the constant retuning, high gain installs at about £250. Its not very freeview they say. In my town sky is everywhere,

SteffApCennydd (@SteffApCennydd) reported@MarkSharon_DP @paullewismoney That looks intriguing. Is "Woke TV" a new streaming service or can you watch it on Freeview?

ʙɪʀᴋᴇʀꜱ (@Birkers5) reported@JamesHReeve @dave_brammer Stop Press: It was on one of the oddball Freeview movie channels on Sunday I recorded it for my missus who had never seen it. She watched it tonight and loved it. Kitchen sink drama/comedic overtones due to cringingly accurate portrayal of 50's Bolton.

Maggie Hathaway-Mills (@MaggieMhm) reported from Swindon, England@Tim_Pilcher Me. I watch documentaries. Which is why I'm on Sky, best service for them. Now I'm pissed off because I'm likely to lose Sky because my sheltered housing scheme system is faulty. And Swindon Borough Council aren't likely to fix it. I'm going to be stuck with Freeview. 😱😱😱

Mike Elevenay but also tinsel (@GizzarkHenry) reportedFreeview are seriously using Free Love Freeway in an advert Like That's a deliberately **** song, isn't it? About banging in a layby or something?

Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported@__CharlotteB_ Hi Charlotte, The Freeview Play service should be working. In most cases, a full factory reset of the TV itself should fix this issue. If not, you may need to contact the manufacturer for further advice. Kind regards, Rick

James Wright (@JamesOldNerd) reported@BeyondExplained @ParanormalCaptr Is there any way of watching paranormal captured, without freeview etc. We've got amazon prime, so been watching haunted hunts, but we really want to watch paranormal captured after. Is there any catch up service where it can be watched, or DVD I can buy. Thanks in advance.
