    @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.

    @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%.

    @adrianweckler Zero interest in Sky for TV. We got rid of it in 2009 with last recession and just watched freeview available channels. People don't realise just how many channels you can watch for free, its fairly decent. Can signup/cancel streaming service as needed then. Big cost savings

  • GavinDorris G M Dundee-Hausman (@GavinDorris) reported

    @RMGLUCK2017 @Legend__Channel wow, another freeview candidate... as the hollanders never tire of saying, interressant...

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @GarryLavin Most Freeview connected TVs and set top boxes can receive the service.

  • StephenAkehurs1 Stephen Akehurst (@StephenAkehurs1) reported

    @ThatTimWalker @skytv Was thinking of cancelling Sky and going back to Freeview as never anything on worth watching. This just about confirms it!

  • shortflyslip Andrew (@shortflyslip) reported

    @PullarStrecker yeah, that's an interesting development. The market for watching NZ's so-called terrestrial TV channels seems a bit uncertain right now with the Freeview on demand service set to end, and Sky might be one of the better options.

  • dook42_domini Dook 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🇳🇿 (@dook42_domini) reported

    @Trailer_Swift69 if using #freeview your lucky it's even watchable - since they removed the wavebands to 5G, it's been close to unwatchable for myself for the signal strength.. returned to the 1970's - about 3 watchable channels.

  • JulieDeighton3 Julie Deighton (@JulieDeighton3) reported

    @Thursley Channel 94 on my Freeview if that's any help (very late though 4am) tonight's episode is the murder of Suzanne Greenhill series 1 episode 5 enjoy the rest of your day 🥰

  • J_Ded Jon Marr (@J_Ded) reported

    @DasJarg Not seen Most Haunted, I've never had Sky, just Freeview and Netflix/Prime. I'm aware of Derek Acorah, but he seemed like a pale imitation of Doris Stokes, now that lass really could channel the incorporeal !

  • JoannaClarke158 Joanna Clarke (@JoannaClarke158) reported

    @GBNEWS The problem with Freeview 236 is the signal is so poor, with unwatchable screen and unlistenable sound. I wish you could make it like the others.

  • chrishainstock media:man (@chrishainstock) reported

    @EyesWatchin @IndeedItsMark The sound is really bad on iPlayer via Freeview - how are you watching it?
