  • NFGmart martyn notman (@NFGmart) reported from Sheffield, England

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

  • StuN_UK StuN UK (@StuN_UK) reported from Sheffield, England

    @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.

  • 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%.

    @SpillerOfTea Is it going to the like the Birdsong channel on Freeview that actually got lots of viewers, but only *after* it closed down?

  • SimonFraser_1 Simon Fraser (@SimonFraser_1) reported

    @OwenJones84 Never actually looked at this,Owen,though I am reasonably discerning to avoid nearly everything from non Freeview stations in particular those from Aus. billionaires. I find it difficult enough to pay for BBC license fee each year.

  • simonphoward Simon Howard (@simonphoward) reported

    @bt_uk I know, but why would I pay you for Freeview Channels! Hard bundling TV with Broadband to get me to sign for 2 more years. BT broadband is poor & my area is just getting new providers with Fibre to the house. This feels like anticompetitive practice using your TV @CMAgovUK

  • Phi1Masters Phil Masters (@Phi1Masters) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Can you confirm if any works are affecting LL30 2SY (Llandundo)? Freeview showing no signal intermittently last couple if days, then completely off yesterday about 4pm. Still no return!!@

  • back_the_BBC Back the BBC 📺📻📡📱 (@back_the_BBC) reported

    John Whittingdale leaving @DCMS may be bad news for BBC. He had ruled out a subscription model for the BBC as being technically impossible on Freeview (to replace the licence fee). He was also known to like Tim Davie's reforms of the BBC

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital Unfortunately my parents are now unable to receive freeview, they watch sky/Freesat, after the wind blew down the, aerial.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital But what I did learn today, is everyone seems to be having some sort of issue, freeview seems to be annoying many, with its picture quality.

  • ai_azman Azman Idris (@ai_azman) reported

    @eddydaud FreeView: absolutely rite. Best is new n fresh leader from younger gen. Dont get Mukhriz coz it will be worst than now. Terima hakikat atau hard to win even 1 seat. I bet on it.
