    @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

  • 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!

    @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

    @MannieMighty1 And yet they will all watch her again next Thursday. I won't complain about her as I never watch her. At least 100 channels on Freeview and my TV has an off button.

  • LRichmond78 Lisa Richmond (@LRichmond78) reported

    Just checked my freeview recorder as the tv tonight looks rubbish. My options appear to be - cheesy early 00s teen drama - bits of wrestling - murders, murders, serial killers, true crime and murder. I may have a problem.

    @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

  • hitinman Just Davo (@hitinman) reported

    Interesting after 2 days of zero TV reception, as mysteriously as it vanished it is now back. I can guess there was a problem somewhere with an antenna that fed into our valley. #Freeview when it works.

    @NickyKevin172 Hi, Nicky. Sorry to hear that you're having problems with Freeview. If you can DM us your postcode along with house number or name, we can check for any known issues or planned work in the area and advise from there. Fraser

  • poddys Tony Payne 🌊🌊 (@poddys) reported

    @mags324 Same here really. We have old aerials up on the roof but no good for digital tv. I have an indoor one that works with Freeview but once I retire and we need to cut down on tv costs, I will probably get a decent one put on the roof and stop paying for tv.

  • 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 .

  • mike32277328 Mike Hammerswitch (@mike32277328) reported

    @nicky20 @piersmorgan Go to Freeview and keep scrolling down past Dave Ja Vue and the shopping channels, past GB News and Jim Davidson's channel & it's somewhere there

  • wpoel William Poel (@wpoel) reported

    You need to have a webpage showing realtime Freeview problems. It's a huge waste of time trying to guess if Freeview is working in tropo affected parts of the country. @FreeviewAdvice @Ofcom
