  • 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!

  • 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.

    @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

  • brianwinteruk Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England

    @Stuart_Linnell @BBCOne @bbcmtd Only on Sky and Freesat. Freeview to follow, by end of April, but not down to each region. Only same as ITV. The HD multiplex cannot be fully regionslised

  • CharlotteDeak Charlotte Deakin (@CharlotteDeak) reported

    @NPHockeyPuck Yep got it down to 32 and then I decided I only wanted freeview and internet so cancelled it altogether. Keep going with it everytime they offer say no .

  • mcarbl ьеи (@mcarbl) reported

    @virginmedia I have the basic of basic packages. Volt included, whatever that means, as I’m on O2 as well. A 22.5% increase is ridiculous for what is essentially Freeview with broadband. More ridiculous is your blanket removal of our right to cancel because of such imposed future increases

    @preetiyounglove @PegguyBSTV So what did u ask then, anyway preeti_young isn't on BS TV screen tonight, tweet me back ps last night both babestation channels on freeview had a technical problem with them

  • KelsterWelster Kelly (@KelsterWelster) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Having trouble with my upstairs Sky box. Sounds coming on but screen is black. Nothing wrong with telly as I can get on Freeview and Netflix etc directly on the TV so it's definitely the Sky box. Any ideas?

  • keveen2 K Richards (@keveen2) reported

    Where's the Health Network channel! We have all sorts of repeat channels like the Food Network but no Health and Fitness channel on Freeview. Should be a National priority. Lots of Health cross channel programmes but not gathered together. Hardly any Fitness.

  • daphnewheeler15 Daphne Wheeler (@daphnewheeler15) reported

    @GBNEWS Dear GBNews and Mr Rees-Mogg please can you do something to help you would be followers. We can't all get Freeview 236 channel. Planners wont allow a dish either HELP

  • ETusty Emma T (@ETusty) reported

    No freeview signal again. So annoying because we can watch online but you have to know which channel you want to go onto.
