    @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!

    @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%.

    @alexbloor RT isn't closed down. It may have been removed on freesat, freeview but it still seems to be on the interweb

  • W31CAS 🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈 (@W31CAS) reported

    @AvonandsomerRob Damn right they should. Also, the number of outgoings on luxuries like SKY TV, Netflix etc. plenty of choice on freeview.

  • CSI_Pete Pete Wright (@CSI_Pete) reported

    @bt_uk Hi. If I cancel my BT TV, what services would the box be left with please. Just freeview and the recorder? Or completely nothing. Things getting too expensive. Thanks.

  • gareth71 Gareth 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@gareth71) reported

    @WelshGasDoc @itvhub Oh yus. Dreadful. UK’s most popular soap (Corrie) not even on their front page any more. On iplayer you can start watching a prog on catchup any time after it’s started on Freeview - on ITV you have to wait until several minutes after it’s finished. And UI is *awful*.

  • Dpoet58 Don (@Dpoet58) reported

    @FreeviewTV CA14 Workington, no freeview signal on both receivers. I visually checked my aerial, it's still pointing the same way as all the others. All my neighbours are at work so can't check with them.

  • timway Tim Way (@timway) reported

    Dear @SkyNews. Please can you take over the HD channel of RT on Freeview? I’m sure @Ofcom can help make this happen quickly.

  • mikemart1n Mike Martin (@mikemart1n) reported

    @StevieClaridge @ichoosemag Dave Hills Dave kills where funny fringed guitarist hunts down comedians who have appeared on the freeview channel. Not suitable for family viewing.

  • S829MLY Asterism MS13 (@S829MLY) reported

    @PurplejelloS @itvnews I was watching terrestrial TV via an aerial on #Freeview before #ThisMorning went off air and the TV signal kept going, I lost all channels so I'm not sure it was down to TV centre....

  • RichardOcelot Richard (@RichardOcelot) reported

    @ceincein Deliberately watching the 10-minute freeview just praying to get caught by their maw. We're not on WhatsApp or anything but her and my auntie used to live together and we sometimes hang out at family things.

  • happyborg happyborg: decentralising & democratising (@happyborg) reported

    What have you done @RadioTimes? The online TV Guide I've used for years has been broken in multiple ways. Choosing things like 'Freeview' breaks it. Lazy loading as I scroll never completes, channel numbers aren't shown. It's hard to scroll vertically without it scrolling time😵
