  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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!

    @DavidofNotting1 @JujuliaGrace @EveryDoctorUK I have only seen clips of the awful #gbeebies on Twitter, I deleted the channel as soon as it popped up on Freeview and Freesat.

  • TheRealAlika ALIKA - STREAM WIZ OUT NOW 🖤 (@TheRealAlika) reported

    I genuinely don’t understand why we cant just get a one freeview channel like BET at LEAST loool what is the issue?? #blacktofront

  • agirlcalledlina •𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗔• (@agirlcalledlina) reported

    Do they talk about anything else on gammon telly other than cancel culture that is being broadcasted on freeview

  • ParmaleeWes WesParmalee (@ParmaleeWes) reported

    @arqiva To anyone commenting here. To date, I have not seen Arqiva reply here. It may be that they reply by DM, but I'm really not convinced. The Freeview answers read like 'how long is a piece of string'. A few MPs are pushing the issue.

  • DJGaryBaldy DJGaryBaldy (@DJGaryBaldy) reported

    Getting a TAD fed up with @Discovery stating that something is New to DMAX when the series was shown earlier in the year on @QuestTV its NOT new stop treating freeview viewers as stupid

  • saintjeff52 Saintjeff "DO THE DEAL FROSTY" (@saintjeff52) reported

    @BritBox_UK 'Streaming now, only on Britbox'. You do understand that the vast majority of the British viewing population do not watch Britbox. Should stream it on a Freeview Channel. Viewing figures would quadruple. I personally have never watched this 'new' version. Ca ne fait rien

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie (@Brekkietweets) reported

    With a rising British star it's important her finals are accessible free to air. Eurosport may use Quest for them, but they're likely to lose their HD channel soon thanks to slow and regressive progress on switching Freeview to HD.

  • stuart10006 Stuart Harrison (@stuart10006) reported

    @annafriel Just a heads up that a repeat showing of the series "Broken" starts tonight at 9.20 pm on Channel 20 (Drama) on Freeview in the UK. That's all.

  • JasonAtDavid Jason Stone (@JasonAtDavid) reported

    @FollowerAndy0 @jimwaterson Yes but won't piping it through Sky, Freeview etc massively mitigate the risk of it breaking down?

  • VIPlatinum Bill O (@VIPlatinum) reported

    @neil1886 @ChrisHazzardSF The RTE Freeview signal is not good enough for large swathes of the country to watch RTE.
