    @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!

  • 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%.

  • Jack_Nelligan Jack Nelligan 🇮🇪 (@Jack_Nelligan) reported

    Channel 4, E4, More4 and Film4 all have no information available about the programs they currently air on Freeview. Possibly as a result of the tech issues?

  • Unt_Lion Michael Fuller (@Unt_Lion) reported

    @sparkyfireman @channel5_tv I don't think they'll be able to for now, since they are at a backup centre. On Sep 26th, there was an incident at the transmission centre for Channel 4 and Channel 5. And that has been showing up for those on Freeview and Virgin.

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    It's like Christmas Eve, September 30th so tomorrow is 1st October or as I like to think "Early October" when #Freeview says we will once again after 2 months of no TV signal it will return (apparently 5th to be precise)...not holding my breath Will signal be back doubt it

  • alanrogers123 alanrogers (@alanrogers123) reported

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    What start to the day, just had TV Licensing officer AGAIN at the door. I've obviously cancelled my dd for the licence as WE HAVE NO FREEVIEW SIGNAL in Teesside haven't had it for 60+ days now, so why would I pay for a service I don't receive, I don't download 1/n

  • DementiaFink Chris Edgerton LCGI (@DementiaFink) reported

    @FreeviewTV If individual channels have boxing or horizontal/clicking lines Is this an issue with the main received on shared input ... freeview auxiliary input

  • SteveBN1 Steven Dive CChem MRSC ● #FBPE #FBPA #FBPPR #3.5% (@SteveBN1) reported

    @JoshNeicho @NewlandsIsabel @BrianCathcart The points raised by Stefanovic are serious enough for national media to cover, not just left to a journalist alone. The BBC has a rolling news channel on Freeview that could fit in an entire programme on his points as well as many other important issues not covered elsewhere.
