@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!

@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

@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.

@docjmt Thanks, we wondered about freesat because the problem we have with freeview is our signal comes from a secondary mast so can we only get the main TV channels like the ITV channels ,BBC ch4, ch5 & Film 4 most of the other freeview channels are unavailable .

@ClarNiUigin I wasn't sure how it worked on a free freeview box so was hoping it was a simple solution for you! Sometimes just a quick look can find these things. Glad it worked out

@Simon_OW Wasn't it terrible? It was like something you'd see on an obscure Freeview channel, not the platform with the biggest original content budget in the world.

@GBNEWS The problem with being on Freeview is we need a licence to watch it and therefore have to fund the BBC.

@AmazonHelp I'm using a JVC smart TV that "Works With Alexa", and it's connected to my Wi-Fi. Netflix works, but YouTube, Amazon Prime, Freeview Play and the Alexa feature has connection problems.

@Oldcynic9 I use freesat as we are in a rural area. Bought a recorder box at the same time. I would say it is as good as freeview service is in a built up area where you can get all the stations. Film choices leave a lot to be desired. I record the ones I fancy and watch them when I want.

@LGUK hi, you've announced Freeview play support for 2021 models. Will your 2020 models receive this? I've just bought your BX model for a fairly substantial amount, so would expect support. Thanks.
