    @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

  • 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.

    @tomhfh Is it going to be a proper channel on freeview or one of those terrible internet streaming channels ?

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @landiejm Sadly no, it's TV only. Freeview 81. Sky 328. Freesat 306. Virgin 445. And not a stupid question at all.

    @SpudFromDublin @Hookademus @MattAndo63 Sorry to jump in ... but our BT box is connected to our rooftop aerial. My older freeview tv in other room is too for freeview channels (& only 21 tv channels at that) . Signal goes down quite often. No dish. No cable.

  • Mike_SmithUk1 Mike Smith (@Mike_SmithUk1) reported

    @EllieRSmith1 I'm with sky now, I want to cancel there satellite subscription. I'm tempted just to use the freeview tv

  • tran_d87 David Tran (@tran_d87) reported

    My BT TV signal is down. No freeview channels. Anyone else experiencing similar issues? #bttv #hopeless

  • hammer_mo Mo (@hammer_mo) reported

    @AllisterHeath Of course GMB will be balanced. Red meat for the right on the freeview channel, alternative views on the premium pay to view service. I cannot wait to find out which advertisers have gambled on a launch-day slot.

  • WatsonJKnights Watson J.Knights (@WatsonJKnights) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice No freeview signal in Surrey. Well I say none there is a smattering of channels that have badly broken up pictures that could be classed as art.

  • PaulGallant11 Paul Gallant (@PaulGallant11) reported

    @Will68796790 I have for many years paid through Xbox as I am a carer for my Mother who watches freeview channels on the other TV I use my Xbox one to view BT Sports, and I would not risk using link's as they are unstable not on Xbox

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital Why freeview charge such extrodanary amounts I never know. Knowing dad, he will keep the sky, and ditch freeview if it's too much.

  • mikes1988 Michael Edwards (@mikes1988) reported

    @ppdoddy I do vaguely remember 5 being turned on. I was probably 9! We didn't get a great signal from Black Mountain (lived at Merville at the time), so it was a bit noisy compared to the Divis transmitter. Freeview sorted that out.
