  • AddingRandomWit Adam Widdrington (@AddingRandomWit) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @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!

  • 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.

    @MoneySavingExp Had Freeview for years. Haven't got time to watch everything we record so would never pay for even more channels.

    @Nur_Jahan786 @SkyUK From what I tell it’s just a Samsung TV which means you could still plug a set top box into one of the HDMIs or use Freeview just like any other tv. I guess this just has the new Sky streaming service built in.

  • UselessLittleMe Lisa (@UselessLittleMe) reported

    @LQcontactus No problem. Thanks for replying to me. No she doesn't have satellite TV. She just has non satellite freeview, and according to them there are no problems on their end.

  • steeleyp_ PS (@steeleyp_) reported

    @anditsinthere_7 @TheEverydayMan_ @SkyUK You're left with a 48-month credit agreement for a TV tied to the Sky OS. You don't even get all Freeview channels or an aerial socket on the back. No satellite tuner so unless you LIVE for Sky and plan to NEVER cancel, it'd be a huge waste of money.

  • GarySyms Gary #NHSPay15 💙🌍🌈💖 (@GarySyms) reported

    @skindeep1956 @TheNorthernEcho Absolutely agree with you, I've phoned Freeview, TV Licence, even Arqiva, & just constantly getting fobbed off by people who don't have a clue. 8 weeks now with no TV services at all! Bilsdale mast fire caused by overloading a 52 year old transmitter & poor maintenance!

  • steeleyp_ PS (@steeleyp_) reported

    @AndrewGrill @skytv Only a game-changer if you never plan to cancel Sky. Freeview not included outside the PSBs, no aerial socket for DTT and forever locked into a Sky OS... great fun if you choose to cancel Sky TV. No third-party services/apps other than what Sky say you can have. No thanks.

  • pop_hill Pop (@pop_hill) reported

    @SkyNews Can I connect my BluRay player to it, and is there a Freeview tuner in case the internet goes down?

  • amysmummie villagelifesucks (@amysmummie) reported

    With fb etc down the bollocks known as goes wrong show is on BBC1. Ffs. How the actual **** does that shite get made? I don't have sky or netflix. I have "council" tv, freeview. A.k.a. free shite to view and having to pay tv licence for bollocks. Great stuff BBC.
