@Philips @philips_uk @FreeviewTV 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.

@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

@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.

@supertanskiii I want to but I use a streaming service that includes Freeview. I’d like @bbc to be independent of any govt Tory or @UKLabour . It needs to become a subscription service

We are aware of an issue affecting our FM transmission due to power issues at the transmitter at Eston Nab. We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this and are working to resolve it as soon as possible. DAB and Freeview signals are unaffected.

@jonwensley @BATC_London @DPJHodges All the other programming on Freeview is free! If the BBC want to use advertising or subscription that’s up to them, they could install a box as part of the service. Why not have a public vote on this matter?

@Cyanosis1966 @BATC_London @DPJHodges 1) How do you (technically) have a subscription service that doesn’t require a set top box/internet connectivity? 18m people use Freeview, & 1.8m households have no internet access 3) If you need to pay £20/month to Sky/Virgin to access it, it is more expensive than a licence fee

@markaizatt Sadly if you are a freeview user and not a customer of the likes of BT/SKY/Virgin et al, Al Jazeera is the only channel with a global perspective for the lazy of seeking

@B2theRich It was dreadful. Three out of five is extremely generous. It's the type of terrible b-movie you see on a random Freeview channel at 2pm in the afternoon.

@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.

@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.

@Mancman10 You could even have a tax paid somehow to fund the work in upgrading Freeview etc. I just don’t believe and never have the bbc should have a fee attached to it
