@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.

@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

@BuddyGB Will watch that on IPlayer. Technical issues with Bilsdale mast means signal is not strong enough for my Freeview PVR to use its two tuners to record more than one programme at a time. Frustrating.

@cleanfeed_ttvr Glass doesn’t show all available Freeview channels either if I’m correct. Again, rights issues?

@Rob_McPhee_UK @FreeviewTV Drama; Drama +1, Horror and ITV3 are the main problematic channels. Maybe a relay transmitter problem, but nothing is indicating that on the Freeview website. I've changed the amplifier and still having issues. Thanks for replying.

@jasonpwalk @Talesofanalfa I would expect you'll need a freesat decoder / set top box at each TV to interpret the signal. It's slightly different from FreeView which the TV may well have a built in digital tuner for, but will expect a tuning signal from on the RF port.

@BethMorrey @Channel4 The endgame here is obviously to make C4 launch a 24 hour rolling Boozenight channel that is accessible a few pages down your freeview TV guide

@IndigoFast @glasgowswestend UKTV Play didn't need one, but it does now. However, the channels they own that aren't on Freeview or Freesat aren't on it. I know why I have an ITV account. They've brought in an ad-free premium subscription service, which is what a lot of commercial radio stations have done.
