☘️NeelyFanTerry ☘️ (@NeelyFanForever) reported from Garforth, England@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.

Paul O'Flynn (@palyniam) reported from Gildersome, England@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.

Sarah Jane Illingworth 😷💗 (@SJIFreddyFan82) reported from Castleford, EnglandI 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.

Mart Smith (@Mart_Smith) reported@InfiniRunner @thesimpsonRFC Football commentary is never online, as it says, due to licensing restrictions. Only radio or freeview for free, or paid something's through the clubs follow/in house media.

Presley Turberville (@T21949Presley) reported@PageHannah81153 You are an unfunny **** and your shows are Freeview ****.

Breaking News (@MattMoore2025) reported@MetroUK Close down loads of channels that isn't important and keep the ones going why have we got loads of pointless channels on freeview Freesat Virgin and sky
-
The Silver Cloak (@TheSilverCloak) reported@jaygrocott29 @DoctorWhoPN Wrong. The public service broadcasters are all gifted their spectrum and their advantageous position on the Freeview EPG. Road tax was abolished in 1937. Road building and maintenance is paid by general taxation. Revenue from VED just goes into the chancellor’s pot.

Scott Artus (@artuscartoons) reportedI know we've got a bad storm here etc. But I can't understand why the superfast broadband won't work or stream movies, but the digital freeview aerial works.

David (@Disc_light) reported@kenton1206 I must be the only person on the planet that doesn't have any subscription TV service and only have freeview!

Grifty (@TheGriftReport) reportedMILLIONS FACE LOSS OF FREEVIEW TV AFTER LOBBYING BY BBC AND ITV BACKED BODY Freeview which serves 13.6 million homes and 40 percent of UK households with more than 70 channels including BBC One ITV Channel 4 and Channel 5 could be axed after 2034 under government plans to end digital terrestrial television. Ministers are expected to publish a consultation paper within weeks setting out the path to an internet only future in the mid 2030s with the switch depending on universal affordable superfast broadband. Campaigners at Silver Voices which represents older people have launched a petition warning the move would disproportionately hit elderly low income and rural viewers who rely on aerials rather than streaming. The push is driven by The Connection Project a lobbying body funded by the BBC ITV Vodafone and BT all of whom stand to benefit commercially from moving viewers online and reducing costs of maintaining one platform. Dennis Reed of Silver Voices said the companies funding The Connection Project all have a commercial interest in moving services online and older viewers deserve better. The Connection Project responded that the transition preserves everyones right to free public service TV via broadband with subsidised costs where needed while the BBC and Department for Culture Media and Sport confirmed they are working to ensure nobody is left behind. Thoughts?

Andy The Photo Dr ♿️ 🏴 (@andythephotoDr) reported@Jcaird2 It’s basically freeview albeit a bit cut down via the internet. We have been fine without aerial anyway and missed nothing we like but it will be nice to flick through stuff again and stumbling on something to watch.
