    @traceyfromrasen @Kavismate @SkySportsRacing @RacingTV My Freeview signal can be hopeless at best even connected to Wi-fi but the HDMI/laptop combo works well when the cat isn’t jumping on it !

  • AlexTheGuiri Alex the Guiri (@AlexTheGuiri) reported

    @Glostermeteor @MattWWoolwich Nope. The BBC was given a significant uplift in the licence fee to implement Freeview in the early 2010s. It was then allowed to keep that uplift to fund the World Service (previously FCO) and ‘free’ licences for over 75s (previously HMT). Typically it has subsequently reneged.

    @mrdanwalker @GaryLineker It’s time to end the license fee and allow viewers freedom of choice. With the plethora of subscription and Freeview program providers, it’s no longer necessary to have a government sponsored public service provider, with all the inherent issues about partiality that it brings.

    when i was young we couldn’t afford anything like sky and freeview wasn’t really a thing, and then when it was introduced we still couldn’t have it because we didn’t get a signal. citv and bbc was the only way i could watch children’s tv after school/sick days and i feel like

    @dangermouse2 @alanshearer @DannoMkII The service isn't the BBC, it's freeview channels and other live TV channels. You don't have to pay it just because you own a device that could do that, only if you use it for that.

    @SZgoesCrazy @BBCBreaking I think that programming for disabled people, educational resources for children, maintaining the Freeview transmitter service for the poor and elderly is all worthwhile. You apparently don’t. We can agree to disagree.

  • HeadingtonBard Alex Aris (@HeadingtonBard) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Are there known to be any maintenance problems in the OX3 area? At least 50% of our channels disappeared yesterday and haven't come back. No channels 1-6 and a mixed range afterwards. I have checked the Manhattan Freeview recorder and aerial connections as well.

  • UKAT_George UKAT George, The UK Action Team ℹ (@UKAT_George) reported

    @Hazzreid @fitgeek_uk No they make money from commercials. The issue as I understand it is the BBC own freeview and receive money from commercial stations for a channel space. So essentially they can charge for freeview use via a licence fee. Sadly itv sold freeview to the BBC.

  • GavNix Gavin Nixon☘️🌈 🇺🇦✊🏼#FBPPR #FBPE #SlavaUkraini (@GavNix) reported

    @KevinPMeagher @BriW74 It's 'The Eagle Has Landed', on BBC Four, right now, and i-Player for a few weeks' - complete with Donald Sutherland and ludicrously bad 'Irish' accent. No sign of 'Where Eagles' Dare' on any of the Freeview channels for the next while.

  • CliveRoper Clive Roper (@CliveRoper) reported

    @TalkTV Why is the picture quality on Freeview so poor compared to GB News or even online?
