@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!

@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.

Can anyone explain to me the point of #ITV4+1 on #Freeview? It never seems to broadcast. Just a waste of bandwidth. #ITV

@rreczulski @mrwilmore18 Thanks but I don’t have Freeview, signal not strong enough, always had to rely on a satellite signal. I get a few radio channels with sky but not Humberside.

@oscarxray Oh god, I had the option to walk out but my level of offence froze me to the spot! We need to cancel all movies that I might flick through on sky and freeview in case I watch them and I am offended . God forbid they play blazing saddles!

@TheSimonEvans What's interesting though is that Benny Hill was hounded out of town by us folk who thought ourselves 'right on' back then. 30 years later he's back on Freeview and - guess what - turns out some of it is awful a lot of it is surprisingly funny and creative.

The Howling is about to start on Legend (channel 41 on Freeview). For some reason I have never seen this before.

@drstevebagley yeah, but my point is more that the same content is separately uploaded on multiple platforms - so actually maybe rather than channels, these apps are like Sky/Virgin/Freeview. Some of which require login/pay, some of which don't.
