@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.

@Mark56623345 Apparently you can watch test transmissions on Freeview. Not sure how though as I've never had Freeview before.

There’s a wee freeview Telly app on my playstation with all these made up channels. One of them plays most haunted all day on a loop, and does anyone know how to cancel sky?

@danidotx Worth trying Al Jazeera on Freeview channel 235 for a different perspective on international issues.

@RmnMark @MartinSLewis Yes, Freeview on a Smart TV. Thought I'd miss being able to pause, rewind and record, but with catch-up and smart apps you just don't need it. Pay for Netflix for films etc but can obviously cancel that whenever I like.

@HelloSanctuary no TV input on sky or Freeview. Contractor for this came this morning. Can't get into the AV equipment cupboard. Can't get through to sky. Utterly shambolic way to treat Tennant's. Who runs a business like this??

@a516digital @hischeekiness Well on freeview, they will possibly merge or better still have a time shared service,. Either of those two can empty space for another channel. Such as talk tv in april. Who knows could be part of their plans!

Freeview signal is awful again. High pressure I suppose.
