  • 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!

  • 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.

    @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

    Freeview issues in Guildford and surrounding areas been happening more and more. Lost all channels but BBC and Itv and E4 the rest say no signal. Housebound fun times.

  • Stop_The_Panic 🔮Worthless_Human🔮 (@Stop_The_Panic) reported

    @destryagain I think I’ll cancel it once and for all. Keep the rubbish broadband but cancel all our channels and stick to freeview. They’ve always lured me in with discounts but sneak in double charges later down the line.

  • LGUK LG UK (@LGUK) reported

    @Hamnett_Time Hi Ben, Freeview Play won't be coming to our 2020 models as far as we're aware, but we are working with the broadcasters directly to support the individual UK catch-up apps. Our 2020 TVs already support BBC iPlayer, and... (1/3)

    @itv4 Moto GP highlights ruined by non existent sound track, did you have a problem or was it @Freeview

  • Al_Hine Al Hine (@Al_Hine) reported

    @rewind_ttvr Funny how the Beeb use the time difference between digital platforms excuse to not have an onscreen clock, yet @BBCRadio4 broadcast's the Greenwich Time Signal. Radio 4 is on multiple outlets - all a couple of seconds behind LW / FM / DAB / Freeview / D-Sat etc.

  • PeterN266 Peter_N (@PeterN266) reported

    @5USATV Hello. Any issues with signal strength? Can’t watch a thing on freeview as signal weak and not constant. Peter

  • 2_Wheeled_Wolf @2_Wheeled_Wolf 🇪🇺 (@2_Wheeled_Wolf) reported

    @MamaMoose_Be I couldn't get the free trial last time I tried coz I am an ex Sky Digital customer. So they can do one! Get plenty to watch for free with Freeview & on apps with Amazon Firestick
