@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!

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.

@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.

@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…

@skytv Hi, Sky Arts is available on FreeView but I get very poor TV reception. How can I watch it online? I have a TV Licence.

@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.

@WonPeople Nothing you can’t watch a repeat of on any other freeview channel. Never listen to any BBC radio either.

@SAORVIEW Not many channels, it be great if you added music, more entertainment and movie channels to your service we are living in 2022 and the UK has over 85 Freeview and Ireland has 11 channels. What's the point of paying for a TV licence.

@woblis Terrible long term customer outlook. If I left for a month and came back, I'd get it for £50 a month. I think we'll go Freeview, like you say, in case we miss something, but I think the last two years has seen a huge change from live to streaming in our household.

Odd to give S4C the BBC3 HD slot on Freeview now BBC3 is coming back when they could have had it after 7pm since 2016 (as BBC Scotland does). Not the long term solution though - but seems to be no long term plans at all for HD on @FreeviewTV with another HD mux will close soon.

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
