@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

@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.

@a516digital The same with freeview, dispite the fact i cant get this service even after my best efforts, those that can should have all the hd at the start, i know theres less coming up when mux 7 closes, but its the way forward.

@a516digital In my current location freeview is only possible when we get tropospheric lift conditions, and that never always provides the right transmitter, we get swamped out, the local mast, is oxford, but were behind huge trees at the bottom of a hill etc.

BBC to "support the distribution of S4C services across multiple platforms". Adds weight to comment in BBC Three Public Interest Test about allocating bandwidth to S4C HD in Wales on Freeview.

@AmazonHelp I'm using a JVC smart TV that "Works With Alexa", and it's connected to my Wi-Fi. Netflix works, but YouTube, Amazon Prime, Freeview Play and the Alexa feature has connection problems.

@Simon_OW Wasn't it terrible? It was like something you'd see on an obscure Freeview channel, not the platform with the biggest original content budget in the world.

Good news for Brits thinking of buying a 2021 LG TV: after disappearing in 2020, Freeview Play support is back on all of LG’s new webOS TVs.

I have a contractor over to finally fix the aerial and the freeview coverage in the house. I offered him tea/coffee but he refused. I am not sure what I am supposed to do right now. The citizenship test did not prepare me for this.

@LGUK hi, you've announced Freeview play support for 2021 models. Will your 2020 models receive this? I've just bought your BX model for a fairly substantial amount, so would expect support. Thanks.

@SamSmette Similar really, if theres a catchup service we use that but if its a film or something on, say, Sky Arts (on freeview) I might want to record it. I dont record a great deal.
