-
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!

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.

Stephen Meyer (@stephen_e_meyer) reported@MTGraveStudio our small town got cable TV, my parents were at my grandparents down the street, I was home alone, there was an HBO “freeview” showing ALIEN. I was 7. Had nightmares for months, couldn’t tell mom why bc it was rated R & I’d get in trouble Still think its the best horror film.

Mr. Rodi Kyriakou (@MrKyriakou) reported@AthleticsWeekly The games not on Freeview or free to air. Is it's demise. If this carries on. Major sporting events will die it's slow death. No one will bother that really matters 😔.

Red Moon 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 🍁 🇬🇱 (@Undercover_mole) reported@GBNEWS Problem is Freely isn't free.... You need a broadband connection costing you tens of pounds per month. Where as Freeview and Freesat are actually free to view.

MIdAS is a Potato (@mrmidas2k) reported@yellowhairdpunk How? Shits on ITV. They have replays literally on the "on demand" app. Yes, the showings aren't live, that sucks, but you can absolutely follow AEW watching regular *** freeview and getting PPV's.
-
Gotta Have Faith (@Suzghf) reportedI bet you haven't even read the info where they're thinking about scrapping all freeview channels. And so to watch TV it'll all be paid online service - that you need ID for! Join the dots.

Ant brown (@AntBisexualant2) reported@cxdi55 @skytv @SkyHelpTeam I had to buy one of their Pucks because the Freeview signal was so bad. First one was broken but they still tried to blame my broadband, tried to get me to switch. told them I was locked into a 2 year deal. they shut up. Shop around.

William Poel (@wpoel) reportedWhat happened last night? Mon aug 3? Freeview on band 4 uhf just stopped in the cm3 area. The tropo map was a bit messy, a d there was very little sporadic e showing. The blackout was total but it's all back now. Are you aware of any transmission failure? However a crucial Star Trek Enterprise episode on Sky mix at 11:00 p.m. failed to record, and retrieving it requires a Paramount subscription! @FreeviewAdvice
