    The #5g nonsense is awful. People setting fire to masts serving critical communications is madness. The frequency used in 5g has been redeployed from tv / freeview but still considerably lower power. 5g’s only side effect is faster & lower latency mobile internet #5gconspiracy

    Hadn't realised rural Freeview was still so terrible compared to in metropolitan areas. I get 80 Freeview channels in Dudley nr Birmingham, Dad gets 21 in South Shropshire! And doesn't even get Sky News which I assumed was on Freeview everywhere.

    @darrengrimes_ Blame the government, what is your solution as to how it is funded? Advertising is out as the market is saturated, subscription is out as it’s on freeview

  • willis_talks Wayne Willis 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈🌏🌳🎹🎙️🚶‍♂️💡🐾 (@willis_talks) reported from City of Kingston upon Hull, England

    I'm again having endless issues with #BBC #freeview channels not working in #Hull. I watch via @NOWTV box but I think it's a regional antenna issue. Is anyone else in Hull / Humber having trouble with receiving BBC channels?

  • Declan_M_Wilson Declan Wilson (@Declan_M_Wilson) reported

    @Knibbsey Yep. Noticed it yesterday. Hopefully soon in HD. Gloucester residents using Freeview however still get their news from the Midlands ☹. Sadly don't think there's a fix for that.

    @russty_russ In SD it’s on 231, but on HD it’s 107. I’m not sure how that works but there you go. RT’s HD service isn’t too far behind it on Freeview either.

    @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.

    @sgordon_the87 DIdn't realise the BBC News channel took such a high place on Freeview. I thought it was lower down in the "rankings"

  • PeterTWolf1 Matt Meerkat (@PeterTWolf1) reported

    @rugrats1991 @YuseiFudoGam3r @HudsonHatley I never had the Nickelodeon channel because my dad wouldn't pay for sky, we only had freeview so only channels like CBBC, CITV and Pop. Non of the fancies like Nick or Cartoon N'work.

    @LordFrodsham @HackedOffHugh A surprising number of people in this discussion don’t seen to be aware that the license fee doesn’t just cover the BBC but 70 Freeview channels & all radio. Anyone who doesn’t want to pay the fee can disconnect their TV, watch Sky Sport down the pub and Netflix on their computer

    @PeteSmi15995270 @NorfolkGood1 @DefundBBC But the BBC isn't. And, if the BBC is removed from Freeview, then the platform will die. So unless you make people buy/subscribe to a set-top box like Sky/Virgin (at >£20 per month) they won't have access to any of these channels. Yep, that would go down well.

  • Takethatjoe Gerald Smith 🤢 (@Takethatjoe) reported

    @Ange_9_ @darrengrimes_ So you think advertising is going to raise an extra £3.7 billion? The BBC share maintenance of freeview, freeview is the biggest digital platform and you casually say they’ll go subscription, not everyone has a fast reliable broadband service and you’re assuming millions
