I feel this thing of channel 4 and 5 and Freeview going down was a publicity stunt to add to all the fuel crisis today. **** you channel 4 and 5.

@HumaxUK only had this fvp-500t since 7th may 20 and its on the blink, freezes, losing recorded programs and Freeview is so slow. Has updates April 2019 but still poor. I would not recommend this at all.

@AmazonHelp I bought a Freeview PVR on my new Argos but have since decided I don't want it. It's still ready for collection at the Huddersfield store. What can I do to cancel this and have my card refunded

@Emmalouisajones @SkyNews Poor retro-protest. You can't cancel Sky News. It's on Freeview.

@Philips @philips_uk @FreeviewTV @PhilipsCare I recently purchased a Philips Ambilight 55PUS8204/12 55" Smart 4K Ultra HD HDR LED TV with Google Assistant does it support Freeview play as I can't get the apps to work.

Pensioners, our TV broke down today, just ordered our first ever HD Freeview TV, paid a TV Licence for 50 years so why not embrace this technology we have paid the BBC for all these year @DefundBBC

@MaddFan1 Same thing happened to me a few years ago, I was quite happy watching @AJEnglish on Freeview and then suddenly it went on to freeview HD, which my box wasn't. My problem was finally solved when they started broadcasting live on Youtube.

@Sharon43068108 Very annoying! They are now showing the same match on BBC 1 AND 2. We are in a hotel room son only have Freeview. Going to watch Bridget Jones Diary on itv2 - I have my fingers crossed it's not too rude for the kids 🤣 (from what I remember, I think it's ok)

@PCarmichaelVO @NadineDorries BBC does not own / fund Freeview network. Public subsidy of minority programming should continue but does not require a licence fee tax. BBC does not need to be for profit but no-one should be forced to buy its generally poor mainstream programming.

@GBNEWS Needs to be. It's a disgrace we pay a licence fee not to watch the BBC but to watch all the other Freeview Channels. I never watch the BBC, so cancelled licence, now I Can't watch all the other channels.

@GizmoWalpole @sima_kotecha @lewis_goodall So the end of BBC education programmes. Along with lots of the other non profit making services cos we’ll be left with only the popular stuff - about right for a populist government. Plus, who is then paying for the Freeview network. It works because of the way it is funded

@peacekpr79 @davidschneider The BBC also pays for the Freeview network of transmitters, the way a lot of viewers still get their TV signal.

@PCarmichaelVO @NadineDorries BBC does NOT maintain Freeview network. That is Arqiva. BBC in partnership with other PSB broadcasters own Freeview. They, like other broadcaster pay carriage charges to Arqiva.

@In4ThePips @NadineDorries The fact that we think disabled people deserve good programming, children deserve good educational resources, the poor deserve Freeview etc etc? Some of us do anyway.

@PCarmichaelVO @NadineDorries There's plenty of companies out there. I see ads on some channels that aren't shown on ITV or Channel 4 or 5. Personally I'm for a hybrid model; ads on a skeleton Freeview service, with option of a paid sub on iPlayer for Premium and ad-free catch-up content.

@brownboots23 @stevehemsley @NadineDorries So how do we provide such things as disability programming, Welsh language broadcasting, maintain the Freeview transmitter network (used largely by the elderly and poor) and provide educational resources? These don’t generate profit. Ready when you are.

@MrTrevMcCarthy @DaveHogg2 @LeeJBBC I don't need the BBC if I break my leg. We generally all go to school - some pay twice if they go private. Freeview exists. How on Earth can you comment about an affordable service - how many other countries force payment to turn on your TV?

@GaryLineker BBC should be a choice.Cut down the waste & some of the ridicolous expense. Get a bit of sponsored advertising and I am sure those who wish to subscribe for the price of a licence fee will still do so. Should never force people to pay BBC to watch Freeview on a TV. This is 2022.
