  • JasonDragon1975 Jason Ratcliffe (@JasonDragon1975) reported from Chesterfield, England

    @Alexand85266011 @femme_uk @GBNEWS Freeview isn't very reliable for me either. I'm only 10 miles [as the crow flies] from the South Yorkshire Transmitter, yet I can only receive 6 of the 15 HD channels available. BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, Channel 4, Channel 5 and CBBC. The signal quality/strength is on average 80%.

    @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.

    @LuckyCedarlane @BBCAMERICA @ITV @itv2 @Channel4 @channel5_tv C5 is awful. All this is freeview too!

    @ShineyFx If you even use Freeview ever. You also use it. You do use something it pays for Now that doesn’t equate to you should pay for it. Ofc not, choice is choice But like you do and it will be the case for streaming service eventually

  • TweetsinEpping Terry (@TweetsinEpping) reported

    @MikeAubury @markdavyd @NadineDorries No they slipped that in so the poor pensioners would have to pay. Now they are telling pensioners you don't have to pay, just watch a blank screen as its scrambled on free providers which include commercial free to air providers. A sick move. Sell off Freeview band width.

  • PabloBonzo Pablo's Vault of Horror (@PabloBonzo) reported

    The scariest thing about the BBC & Freeview trending is all the awful GBNews related tweets & clips in those topics. We need the BBC, without it or with whatever it becomes under Dorries poorly thought out "plan" we'll end up with more sensationalist tabloid nonsense like GBNEWS.

    @kipthebee @georgegalloway @MoatsTV What's a person to do? You'll be down to 100 odd channels. Analogue tv finished in the UK 10 years ago, it's been Freeview since.

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    Tweeters saying #BBCLicenceFee helping maintaining #Freeview. Well come to Teesside and we'll show you how it doesn't maintain Jack ****. Our Blisdale Transmitter burnt down August 10th 2021 & we've only this month got patchy service some still have zero. Maintained my arse

  • Nick2169Bruce N B P (@Nick2169Bruce) reported

    @daraobriain £160.44 a year just so I can watch freeview channels because I will not waste my time with crap on BBC CHANNELS only ghosts is worth watching.

  • brundellfilimou Mike Benjamin (@brundellfilimou) reported

    @Garnhiem_ @talkRADIO The issue that most people have is with the news programmes. There are no subscription only news TV stations in the Uk. Even sky news is free on freeview. It is also not an option for radio stations.

  • RobSmit12639238 Tech Man (@RobSmit12639238) reported

    @williamnhutton You happy for the sums the BBC is paying too its stars?? Maybe the BBC needs to cut down its Daytime offering. Just make it Subscription based.. If u want to pay U do. If u dont then U dont & have no access to BBC Content. ITV, Ch4 then all truly "Freeview"

    @andrew_wauchope @guardian So you don't think disability programming is a vital service? What about the freeview network?

  • VModifiedMind Vince (@VModifiedMind) reported

    @iandeeley @peterson_joey @reckless Freeview is awful yes, as is DAB.
