    If we're in lock down for another 3 weeks, I really feel the #sonyChristmasChannel should be put back on #freeview...Will keep people in the house ( okay, it'll easily keep me in the house🎅🤶🌲

  • JonnyRoLi JR (@JonnyRoLi) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

    Anyone else lost there Freeview signal in the lake district

  • I_Returneth Stephen(insert appropriate virtue signalling flag) (@I_Returneth) reported

    Really starting to think the TV Licence isn't worth it anymore. No not because of the usual childish reason that "I don't like what's on BBC1" but because of the COM7 signal being so degraded now with the 5G takeover we're getting 2nd Class Freeview and channels are vanishing.

    @benji_writer @FutureDarren Hahaha, an oldie but a goldie. I watch a lot of 80s pop vids on Freeview. But why are they often such bad quality? And the aspect ratios off?

  • SteJWi22 Steven W (@SteJWi22) reported

    @colinwiseman3 We only have about 20 Freeview tv channels, none are Sky. The LNB on our satellite dish is dead and we haven’t had it repaired so no Freesat either… We rely on online services (although the Freeview online app service doesn’t work for us.)

  • dzonershow Association of Cartoon Talent & Services by Darren (@dzonershow) reported

    @RegularTweetsUK Also the HD versions of BBC News and Discovery Quest airing on freeview are shutting down next week due com7 band phasing out for 5g spectrum

  • Jamiema74298207 JackJackJack (@Jamiema74298207) reported

    @chrisbenson007 @NOWMusic Found this which explains as you scroll down what's happening to a major revamping of Freeview channels....29/30june 2022

  • FWestfield Francis Westfield (@FWestfield) reported

    Phoned freeview helpline. They did not recognise the web page talking of issues since 4pm yesterday. They also suggested not due to the weather in the West Midlands. So I am back to square one. I expect it will sort it self out.i give up at this point.

  • rsmck Ross McKillop  (@rsmck) reported

    Big mistake to remove @BBCNews HD from Freeview. Hotels, airline lounges, foyers etc where BBC has prevailed for years will switch to another news service rather than retrofit freesat or IP based solutions just to keep the same channel :(
