  @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

  @RugbyBath Despite Prem Rugby saying it's ITV4, The Freeview planner is saying Chiefs V Sarries - i'd ask Prem Rugby, but they never reply!

  Enjoyed the seniors snooker, congrats to Ronnie O'Sullivan. Love the great Cliff Thorburn's way of saying snooker - "snucker"! Although Channel 5 shouldn't keep switching to 5 Action as the picture quality on Freeview is terrible!!

  @AthleticsWeekly The games not on Freeview or free to air. Is it's demise. If this carries on. Major sporting events will die it's slow death. No one will bother that really matters 😔.

  @TheGriftReport There are millions of pensioners and older folks who do not have broadband, do not want broadband, would never manage with a new television / apps, and rely on their Freeview television service to stay connected to the outside world Switching off Freeview would effectively be an isolation/ death sentence for many of these people

  @internetplague It was SUCH a big issue for me. Spent a lot of time fretting about it. Joined many ‘If this page gets 1 million likes, Sky Sports must keep SSN on Freeview’ pages.

  @JohnSimpsonNews @jjarichardson The BBC applies for grants to help fund its research into broadcasting technology that has contributed to developments such as Freeview and DAB digital radio. In 2017-18 it received a grant, external from the EU of €1,282,331 (£1,145,572).

  @WhichUK For live events,internet speed isn’t everything. For reliability/lowest delay, broadcast still wins: Freeview/satellite first,then cable/TV provider. Fibre streaming is great,but usually behind “live”. 5G/4G/Starlink can work well, but depend more on signal, congestion and load.

  @jollyman56 @lindamccorr I was an international swimmer many many years back and I have a great interest in the games, particularly the swimming. The games should be shown on Freeview. But I go back to my original comment If Scottish people could speak the Gaelic that would solve the problem. for you

  @SW18_67FC @johnrobinson07 It's not more saturated too, it's shot in a Full Range and de-converted down to Limited Range to fit in our poor freeview infrastructure, it makes red and yellows considerably crushed. That's why the Holland game looked the worse so far
