  • 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.

    @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

  • 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!

    @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

  • Marcooni Marcooni (@Marcooni) reported

    Never get bored of watching 'Foul Play' with Goldie Hawn, Chevy Chase, Dudley Moore and Billy Barty. Just started on Talking Pictures TV, Freeview ch 81

  • Bplwcml ♿ Mike (@Bplwcml) reported

    @bt_uk Well good news and bad, the good news is the guide is back on, the bad news I've only got my internet channels 340 onwards working, so I think it's a local Freeview issue with the terrestrial channels

  • Stop_The_Panic 🔮Worthless_Human🔮 (@Stop_The_Panic) reported

    @destryagain I think I’ll cancel it once and for all. Keep the rubbish broadband but cancel all our channels and stick to freeview. They’ve always lured me in with discounts but sneak in double charges later down the line.

  • darkbreed Ben Reed (@darkbreed) reported

    @ArghZombies We did that about 12 months ago and have not missed anything. We have freeview but have never used it. Ailey exist on Netflix, Prime and my Plex library. Plus we’re £100 a month better off.

  • Jumper9895 Dave Collins (@Jumper9895) reported

    @itv4 Moto GP highlights ruined by non existent sound track, did you have a problem or was it @Freeview

  • Kewjonrichard wife seeker (@Kewjonrichard) reported

    @roger44 @FreeviewTV No freeview signal in Swindon from 9pm don't change your settings this service is screwed up its about time they did the decent thing and apologies to everyone.

  • SimonDelafield Simon Delafield (@SimonDelafield) reported

    @talkRADIO @calvinrobinson @PatrickChristys As I understand it, the argument is that because of poor broadband the BBC can’t move to a Netflix like service at this time. But it could be a subscription platform on Freeview - they already exist. It doesn’t need to be on broadband to be a subscription service.

    @snookerbacker by the looks damn Eurosport where hardly anyone will see it, should be freeview but as we know ££££
