    @bowlestrek Get your facts straight. Johnson is not in favour of ditching the license fee, as he knows it’s a massive vote loser. Plus they’ve now realised, they can’t go to subscription fee system, as the freeview boxes that the majority of UK households use, don’t support it.

    @SportsCarChamp @FreeSports_TV I HOPE SIGNALS BETTER THAN THE CRAP ONE ON FREEVIEW!!!

    @2020YNWAP Via freeview need to be able to get the Saorview signal etc

    Obviously today they'd be issues anyway but generally speaking finding Freeview HD muxes far less resiliant than they used to be. As much as I think a switch to an HD/T2 only platform is long overdue I guess there are advantages to having the SD backup for the main chanenls.

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi, I've lost the Freeview signal my TV receives since last night because of the storm. If I sent you my postcode, could you check what the status will be for the transmitter to be up and running again please?

  • SuperSajuuk Gordon (@SuperSajuuk) reported

    @PhilPhenom Latest tweet would imply their online service is not working this evening, as they only point people to the Red Button [Sky/Freesat 981, Freeview 601] instead of the usual "Red Button and iPlayer".

  • torkingt1 Trevor (@torkingt1) reported

    Watching ‘The Silent Enemy’ on Freeview. Must be the only black and white war film I’ve never seen before.

  • brains2laurie Brian Laurie (@brains2laurie) reported

    @channel5_tv Yes.. 7mins before the end your channel 5+1 has gone down on Freeview #dissapointed

    @keithbelfast @rte It never has been before and they stream it internationally so I think you'll be ok. Stream sometimes struggles so Sky/Freeview would be best...

    @SourceproDesign @ukiswitheu B) You need to be covered by a TV Licence if you watch live TV on any channel or TV service - such as ITV Hub, All 4, YouTube, Sky, Virgin, BT, Freeview, Amazon Prime Video, Now TV - on any device
