    @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.

  • WendyM53 WM53 #RuleBritannia #LandOfHopeAndGlory (@WendyM53) reported

    I take it we're not alone in all channels having no signal from the Bilsdale transmitter on @Freeview?

  • A16Version It may take years, but the truth will be known (@A16Version) reported

    @melissaztweets @ITV @AEW I actually understand why it was on ITV4 - in the age of freeview (I can remember TNA beating WWE in the UK as TNA was on Challenge) - but yeah, the inconsistency about the ITV4 airing, and the lie about ITV Hub being a Thursday thing has screwed AEW bad

  • mpollo11 M Pol (@mpollo11) reported

    @rjohnsykes @GBNEWS I was able to receive in BT53 to begin, but now nothing on Channel 236....defaults to Sky 233. Freeview told me defo being broadcast on likely NI transmitters. Didnt offer solution though

  • FelixDiebus Felix Diebus (@FelixDiebus) reported

    @GBNEWS Please please please can someone fix the audio delay on the freeview channel..have persevered but find it unwatchable with the presenters lips so far out of synch with the video.

  • teweybear Sharon Tew (@teweybear) reported

    @bt_uk No issues with Freeview at all (ie watching through the TV using the external aerial and built in Freeview). As soon as we switch to BT box, picture pixelates. Does this answer your Q’s?!

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    @ukdtt Remember CBM? The Freeview channel that had a caption 'Coming soon to Channel 22', but never launched.

  • PCarmichaelVO Paul Carmichael (@PCarmichaelVO) reported

    @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.

  • guskinlan michael kinlan (@guskinlan) reported

    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

  • allthisandless Let Love Win esq 🏳️‍🌈 (@allthisandless) reported

    @htwcentral @thisisrjg Trouble is, so few had analogue tuners 😔 (although I do have one with analogue and freeview tuners)
