  • minxsterev helen kirk (@minxsterev) reported from Crewe, England

    @curryspcworld Just been into your Crewe store looking for a freeview box. 5 staff members fiddling with displays, me the only customer. Not one member of staff came to see if I needed help. Going elsewhere as you obvs don't need my custom.

  • m7leicauser Andy Barton (@m7leicauser) reported from Comberbach, England

    @FreeviewTV Thanks to Dan at Freeview, the aerial-out retune x2 seems to have cured the problem. 👍

  • Crewedaddy Richard Seamon (@Crewedaddy) reported from Crewe, England

    @james_blue_cat Can't afford any streaming service or the hardware upgrade to accommodate one. Freeview and iPlayer is enough. Didn't switch telly on Xmas day and Bob and Paul going fishing was my highlight.

    @nahthanksthough @kennysmith21 @beffybadbelly Also worth mentioning that CBBC is on Freeview Light relays as it is broadcast on BBCA and BBCB unlike the commercial childrens channels. Bad for rural types.

  • mldw235 Matt Wright (@mldw235) reported

    @AngelaMarston An awful decision. Can't help wondering if the BBC could have made a much better one somehow. Yes I know it will all be onlineetc but freeview has universal coverage.

  • ron__west Ron West (@ron__west) reported

    @A_Liberty_Rebel @MargotLJParker @CatharineHoey Why not have low resolution & mono sound (with expensive sports/etc events replaced by old films) on the Freeview service, and HD & stereo of full repertoire on paid services?

  • colinwibbley Colin Wibbley (@colinwibbley) reported

    Is it true the BBC are shutting down Radio 4 Extra? That channel (automated jukebox of old Radio 4/2 spoken word content) costs next to nothing to keep on DAB/Freeview.

    @1066shrimprail Hi, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview Reception. So, we can investigate this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

    ano cbbc being axed is a pure meme n it’s no that deep or whatever but it actually kind is if u think abt it… like what are the poor kids who only have freeview supposed 2 watch when 1 of like 3 free kids channels r being taken off???? kinda sad tbh :( lil me would b cryin fr

  • Pic889 Dimitris (@Pic889) reported

    @chrisgseeger @FT This begs the question: Since you can't receive the entirety of BBC's broadcasts through generic DVB-T2 equipment (you need a special "Freeview HD" receiver), why not encrypt the service and give subscribers a CAM module to watch it? Let's see how many really want to pay for it.

  • Nigelh7n Nigel Hurneyman (@Nigelh7n) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I've retuned my freeview decoder and got the 41/69 Horror/CBS justice swap. But I've also lost 64 Freesports and 77 Now 80s. I can't see that on your site anywhere. My postcode is HP13 and I'm on the Greater London signal.

  • eloiseaa728 eloise angharad (@eloiseaa728) reported

    @kennysmith21 @beffybadbelly No, on widely available freeview (i.e not on the local mux where tinypop lives) there are two: Pop (Arq A) and CITV (SDN), under the impression only CITV is in a similar market (age group) and is not a particularly good service… There is a reason CBBC dominates.

    @RaewynScott1 I havenʼt looked into that Freeview on Demand yet but it sounds like I donʼt need to! 😯 Sounds like they want to become a streaming service and donʼt really want to do broadcast TV any more.
