  • 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.

    @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%.

    @4Viewers Is there a known issue with All4 on Freeview Play? I cant log on - can enter my email address, but the keys don’t register when putting in the password. Any ideas?

  • tangent_tgt Joe Wallis (@tangent_tgt) reported

    @BlankOpenspace @FreeviewAdvice No terestrial TV channels at all in my area LU5 - LU6 and still freeview say everything is perfect. In reality, freeview has been getting worse and worse ever since the so called improvements all this year but today freeview has absolutely "NO" signal at all.

  • dozecat007 Boris D'Burger-Zilla (@dozecat007) reported

    Instead of paying this mob of #r4today presenters obscene six figure salaries to giggle and read a few words off a sheet of paper for a few minutes per week- abolish TV Tax and let the poor bennefit from the saving. Plenty of TV and radio on Freeview non BBC channels @BBCr4today

  • Clareyis Clare Boland (@Clareyis) reported

    @virginmedia Why is the basic package so expensive when it's such a poor offering??? Making Freeview look good!!. How do we finish our contracts??? Website down, and staff saying systems down ring back. You aren't worth the £.. especially now!

  • NathanRuss79 Nathan Russell (@NathanRuss79) reported

    @patwewonuk @LBC @NickFerrariLBC i dont even see a takeaway or a mobile phone in that image just two people holding a sky remote which we know continues to work for freeview without prescription, sounds like he just likes punching down and hangs onto tired old tropes

  • MarkBucks66 Mark (@MarkBucks66) reported

  • PaulCarmichaelV Paul Carmichael (@PaulCarmichaelV) reported

    @Harrison1Ron Excellent. So, how do you fund the Disabiiity Programmes Unit, educational resources and Freeview transmitter maintenance. Or do the disabled/poor/kids not matter? OR does this chap not actually know what the licence fee pays for, like so many others?

  • baileys36 Jenny Lewis (@baileys36) reported

    @FreeviewTV Why don't you improve the signal?! I'm fed up with missing things due to no signal. Freeview service is rubbish
