    Fog risk and disruption to TV and radio transmissions. Expect some lost Freeview or low signal channels on some mornings next week! #KentWeather @AffinityDJ @AffinityKent

    @Theatremonkey1 @Freeview @FreeviewAdvice Oh wow, never knew that was happening

  • grumpyoldstan Grumpy Stan.🎼 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 📻 (@grumpyoldstan) reported from Tamworth District, England

    @itvnews I complained about that awful erectile disfunction advert that appears on some Freeview channels, sometimes in the day & at teatimes, when kids will be watching & they didn't do anything! They said it was fine. It's not nice when young grandkids ask what erectile disfunction is!

    In the meantime, transfering the signal to a more sturdy temporary mast will result in 2,500 households losing Freeview, mostly near the Durham coast. This is because the mini-mast isn't tall enough to clear the edge of the North York Moors, blocking line of sight. -2-

    @ken_brittain @redroofbraemar hundreds of free channels for free thousands on you tube why pay £159 for BBC and 70 crap Freeview channels then can view catch-up without licence?

  • Davcobbler Bill Craven (@Davcobbler) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice My freeview channles such as Quest and Drama hwve no signal. Others OK but not great quality. NN11 0RE using Anglia transmitter. Would I be better from Midland.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    @duffaSteve Most 5G is far away from Freeview frequencies. But band 28 (700MHz) is starting to be used by O2, 3 and EE, using frequencies either side of those used by COM7. Cellmapper is a useful app showing you which bands are in use by your mobile network in the area.

    I have to watch @ITVWales due to my freeview not working #tippingpoint

  • MaFt Em to the Ay to the Eff to the Tee (@MaFt) reported

    I have solved the BBC licensing "issue". Freeview and radio stays "free" and make any digital stuff (websites, iPlayer/catch-up etc) a subscription. I suspect there'll be enough people that rely on catch-up and iPlayer who would then subscribe / pay license.

  • PCarmichaelVO Paul Carmichael (@PCarmichaelVO) reported

    @d0hertyry4n @TomRafferty4 Well of course it isn’t. Yes. You said on your other tweet that you think only Freeview viewers (the elderly and poor) should pay. 👍

  • JustLEAVEeu Just Leave.EU (@JustLEAVEeu) reported

    Just because we’re in a “universal broadcasting bad place”, is not an excuse not to bite the bullet and move to a subscription model to fund the BBC. Yes, some people reliant on Freeview will lose out, that’s life! There are other ways to enjoy life, go 2 the pub, church, mosque
