  • 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.

    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🎅🤶🌲

  • 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!

    Any ideas why MiL’s @HisenseUK @Roku TV sometimes puts itself onto the Freeview Play page whilst watching her Sky Q box? Even did it to me as I was navigation TV settings. Maybe TV or remote control issues? Hopefully unplugging/replugging will simply be enough to fix it…

  • sufc4ever leghc (@sufc4ever) reported

    @robertlargan Freeview and DAB radio would be good too, especially poor in Chinley area

  • garethlkr Gareth Smith (@garethlkr) reported

    @darrengrimes_ Just a reminder. The License fee is a tax on watching live TV. You pay the tax is you watch most live tv on most platforms (sky, Virgin, Freeview etc.) The tax is used to help pay for the BBC tv, web, radio but it's nothing to do with specifically watching the BBC

  • ResineScyclops Resine/Scyclops (@ResineScyclops) reported

    We Do Apoligize, But Due To A Major incident happened on FilmonTV, the POP-O-POP Site will be down for the next few days. please proceed to Watch it on Sky, Freeview And Freesat. #FilmonTVDown

  • chrishainstock media:man (@chrishainstock) reported

    @JakTrident @cavaliers_rock @bbcdoctorwho to fully understand the Dr Who sound issues it would be useful to discover who was watching on what platform. E.g. iplayer, Freeview, iplayer HD, BBC though SKy etc - Can I ask what broadcast system were you listening to?

  • choctopus Leah Mountford (@choctopus) reported

    Go to put the tv on for some background noise and uuuuh the whole of freeview is down apparently. The TV literally doesn't know if there are channels even

  • ChewieD2 Graeme Hanks (@ChewieD2) reported

    @tstrachanedit I used to watch it every weekend when it was on freeview but could never justify the spend when it went behind a paywall. Couldn’t beat having a lazy Saturday with endless cuppa’s and just tv. Good times!

  • Janet_West Janet Georgiou (@Janet_West) reported

    @SkyUK reception is Terrible in this storm. Thank goodness we also have Freeview for @BBCNews &c.
