@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.

@Livalab With regards to the guide on the Freeview app, you can still get the next programmes up on the TV guide by pressing the icon made of variously sized horizontal lines on the top left corner of the guide. As for +1 versions of the BBC channels, that would be down to the BBC.

@AgentP22 According to STV it's shows like Coronation Street etc, Albas figures are an impressive 530,000 adult viewers a week when it became available on Freeview and Virgin media, how odd. Their average viewing time is an hour and 40 mins? Never watched Alba, lot of Sports apparently.

@Ste15375723Mark @MartinSLewis @GMB FWIW I think most likely outcome is the licence fee will be kept as the least worst option. Advertising is non-starter as it would destroy ITV/C4/C5's revenue. Subscription isn't possible for Freeview/radio. Bundling in with tax would be spun badly for the gov.

@SkyHelpTeam That was when Sky tv was value for money! I left Sky last year because you could only offer a measly £2 per month discount for a customer who had been with you for over 20yrs! And I don’t miss Sky at all…..on FREEview now!

@TLWUK1Official @MediaBoyUK SKY never had ITVBe+1. ITV Quiz+1 will launch on Freeview more likely in August 2025
