@Matey30 @virginmedia Nothing less than I’ve come to expect from them. Service has been so bad which is why we’ve left their tv service. Had to keep the broadband for now due to limitations of other local providers. Now watching freeview…

Any ideas why MiL’s @HisenseUK @Roku TV sometimes puts itself onto the Freeview Play page whilst watching her Sky Q box? Even did it to me as I was navigation TV settings. Maybe TV or remote control issues? Hopefully unplugging/replugging will simply be enough to fix it…

Dear @Channel4 please can you add live streaming to your 4OD service. My Freeview signal is shocking and I'm missing Bake off and this is very distressing

@mrgrahamreed @BBCiPlayer I think I only saw season 1 on Sky 3 on Freeview. Never saw the rest of it. The classic '70s Battlestar got shown on BBC 2, in the '90s.

Looking through the festive TV schedule and there's no Muppet Christmas Carol on any of the freeview channels this year. Never wanted @DisneyPlus to launch more than right now.

@LewisHamilton @SilverstoneExp That may be the case Lewis. If you really want to inspire the next generation. F1 needs to be on Freeview. It willl never happen though.

Is it true the BBC are shutting down Radio 4 Extra? That channel (automated jukebox of old Radio 4/2 spoken word content) costs next to nothing to keep on DAB/Freeview.

BBC3's audience is all online. Going linear won't help it's terrible ratings. BBC4's target demographic are all linear consumers. Killing-off BBC4 to keep BBC3 on Freeview makes absolutely zero sense.

Its so stupid. When I was younger the only thing my family could afford was a freeview box so I spent a lot of time watching CBBC. BBC say "kids spend all of their time on Netflix or Disney +" what about those like younger me who couldn't afford them?

@RespectIsVital @BBC instead of forking out for a tv licence put that money on internet service..its what we did..freeview free sat.. its dreadful cos no one can afford broadband&streaming. tell em to stick their tvlicence&dont use their channels or iplayer. how you feelin today?

@chrisgseeger @FT This begs the question: Since you can't receive the entirety of BBC's broadcasts through generic DVB-T2 equipment (you need a special "Freeview HD" receiver), why not encrypt the service and give subscribers a CAM module to watch it? Let's see how many really want to pay for it.

@CBeebiesHQ What’s happening to CBeebies HD on freeview next month? Seen a news article saying the transmitter it on being shut down?

The fact that the bbc is shutting down cbbc when so many families like my own growing up could only afford freeview and it was the best thing I had

@RespectIsVital @BBC I was lucky enough to have freeview throughout growing up and it's saddening that other generations won't.... Idk if this could be any help at all but perhaps a dvd player. You can get dvds pretty cheap at charity shops and library's. It won't be the same obviously but may help

@LukePollard To be honest though, I wonder how many actually watch it on normal TV and not via iPlayer? I can only go off our experience which is I only use freeview to watch F1 on Channel 4 occasionally, otherwise its iPlayer on the PS4 / TV. Still think it's a bad idea though.
