  One bad thing about #Freeview TV is all the begging adverts. Ignore em all, ain't contributing towards inflated staff salaries. Plenty of local little charities.

  @Sonic_Sinclair @bbcmicrobot Technically it is, there's support for it in DVB. There's several channels on DVB satellite that uses it, not sure there's any on freeview. Certainly all the original services shutdown or moved to MHEG. The BBC mheg service was incredible but that's shutdown now too 🙁

  If your Freeview channels have gone off in Yorkshire/North East.....North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue along with crews from Cleveland Fire Brigade are in attendance at a fire involving Bilsdale Mast which provides the TV signal for the region

  Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported 2 minutes ago

  Freeview and radio services in North Yorkshire and Teesside have been affected by a complete loss of service at Bilsdale transmitter. Services fell off air at 1:26pm this afternoon. Viewers are advised not to retune.

  @StuartRidley8 @GaryLineker TV licence pays for the upkeep of the Freeview transmitter network. Freeview is the way the majority of the elderly watch TV. They’re getting a very good deal. And they don’t pay if they’re receiving pension credits.

  The fact sky broadband is down is so annoying. I have a smart TV and now can't watch anything but freeview and teleshopping until the broadband and WiFi is back on. #skydown

  @BBC i wanted to 4hank you for letting me see how channels there are on freeview. as i didn't have to watch idiot football pundits try to commentate on the Olympic gamed. i only saw a bit of the opening ceremony.

  @Dean0076103703 @GaryLineker Already told you. Your licence fee pays for little old ladies to get free radio. It also pays to maintain the freeview network which lots of advert-using channels piggyback on.

  @GeekCliche If Sky continue to advertise on GB News, why not switch to BT? I’d suggest Virgin but they’re a greedy company with bad ethics. You may also want to get a Freesat box for another room in your house for free channels not available on Freeview!

  @Dean0076103703 @GaryLineker No, sorry, you're lying. The BBC funds two of the six multiplexes that deliver Freeview and Freesat content nationally. If you scrapped the licence fee, you'd have to fund that from somewhere else. If you don't understand the issue, it's best to reserve judgement.
