  • Christi34653250 Christine Scott (@Christi34653250) reported from Longbenton, England

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

  • 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!

  • aquablu Nicola (@aquablu) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    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🎅🤶🌲

  • 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

  • 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.

    @virginmedia @annmarienoble23 @annmarie Virgin Media, the problem is that subtitles work on adverts but not on the programmes. Been like this all week. Problem is at channel 5's end as it occurs on Freeview too!

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @LynneKerrUK Freeview is a through aerial service and needs an aerial to view. If you wish to use players these can be accessed using the internet. I'm not aware of any Freeview boxes that can take a SIM card but a hotspot may work. Please check manufacturers details for more information.

  • Jack_Nelligan Jack Nelligan 🇮🇪 (@Jack_Nelligan) reported

    Channel 4, E4, More4 and Film4 all have no information available about the programs they currently air on Freeview. Possibly as a result of the tech issues?

  • DementiaFink Chris Edgerton LCGI (@DementiaFink) reported

    @FreeviewTV If individual channels have boxing or horizontal/clicking lines Is this an issue with the main received on shared input ... freeview auxiliary input
