    @ITVX I wish I could or that Freeview took on this network a lot of us on pensions can't afford satalite or cable

  • 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.

    If we're in lock down for another 3 weeks, I really feel the #sonyChristmasChannel should be put back on #freeview...Will keep people in the house ( okay, it'll easily keep me in the house🎅🤶🌲

    @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!

  • bobk1701 Bob Koopman (@bobk1701) reported

    @dish I would like to see The News Pack as a Free channel preview. It never has been in Freeview before.

  • StefanCtn Stefan C (@StefanCtn) reported

    @FreeviewAU Since Freeview updated to 1.04 our Hisense 65S8 TV no longer allows the default electronic program guide (EPG) button to work. @HisenseAus advised this is a known issue with Freeview to fix. Is there a timeline on getting this resolved?

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital After freeview sent harry hill round to sort out my reception issue, I'm not going into again, I spent best part of £250 on an aerial to try and get proper local reception which doesnt work.

  • MsDJ1780 Ms DJ (@MsDJ1780) reported

    @piersmorgan Sounds like my Uncle!! Took him to get a ‘new tv’ (with freeview, etc built in). With purchase he got 6 free months of one plus 12 months of another. I set it all up straight away (inc. the freebies). Yet, he’s never even tried them - he’d rather moan that there’s nothing on TV!

  • FreeviewTV Freeview (@FreeviewTV) reported

    @MaggieMossop Hi Maggie, Thanks for your inquiry today! Unfortunately, we at Freeview do not decide what is shown on the channels therefore, a choice like this would be down to a broadcaster to make. Thanks again, Dev.

  • Rolo_Tamasi Rolo Tamasi (@Rolo_Tamasi) reported

    @GMB Should we stop giving bad news media Freeview space?

  • colinm65290743 colin_m (@colinm65290743) reported

    @Iromg Yes, retuned my Freeview and there it is, GB News test signal on ch 236.

  • GeorgeBrownFFC George Brown (@GeorgeBrownFFC) reported

    The fact that the league cup final isn’t on freeview and instead they’re showing Burnley vs Wolves just shows the problems with big money in our game. What happened to champions league and europa league on ITV?

  • AnkerSchiff Anker Schiff (@AnkerSchiff) reported

    @TogetherukTV All, also Big Dreams Small Spaces with Monty Don. Are you still showing it? Also please fix info on Freeview, I try to watch or record your programs, and it's not shown correctly especially at night. Is there a catch up or online way to watch?
