  • 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%.

    @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.

    @freesat_tv No, sorry. It's freeview. I appreciate your offer of support though nevertheless.

  • windust windust (@windust) reported

    @cleanfeed_ttvr Glass doesn’t show all available Freeview channels either if I’m correct. Again, rights issues?

  • NatJSummers Nat J Summers (@NatJSummers) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Our freeview reception has all@of a sudden started playing up this afternoon (around 4pm), it’s all channels, doesn’t seem to be an issue internally and we don’t have strong weather conditions etc… our postcode is BS20. Is there a general issue?

  • Sonic_Sinclair ⚽️Disco-Stu🎩 (@Sonic_Sinclair) reported

    @DVB_Project I have a digital service idea, that could help the older generation about receiving digital information, quick and easy to use without internet, The technology is out there to do this, If you guys have free to air tv like the uk we have Freeview!!!! £££€€€$$$

  • AgentSchmith Agent Smith (@AgentSchmith) reported

    @jasonpwalk @Talesofanalfa I would expect you'll need a freesat decoder / set top box at each TV to interpret the signal. It's slightly different from FreeView which the TV may well have a built in digital tuner for, but will expect a tuning signal from on the RF port.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    Wales: Preparations for changes to Freeview HD services in Wales: New - Service ID (SID) 17792 and SID 18174 on PSB3/BBC-B. S4C HD is coming.

  • ArtySej Art Sejdiu (@ArtySej) reported

    @BethMorrey @Channel4 The endgame here is obviously to make C4 launch a 24 hour rolling Boozenight channel that is accessible a few pages down your freeview TV guide

  • Eesy20 George Peel ☘️ 🖐️ #P&J Project. (@Eesy20) reported

    @DemonswithR @DavidPoulden No, it is not 'frankly ludicrous'. The BBC(Freeview TV) is the same principle as the NHS. Everyone pays - rich and poor - everyone gets access to the broadcast media. If you want extra channels, you pay for those yourself. Just like healthcare.

    - Saturday afternoon, time to do something useful. - sees Beadle's About is on That's TV UK Freeview 51 - sits back down #Beadle

  • JamieNemeth Jamie Nemeth (he/him/they/them) (@JamieNemeth) reported

    Next week on my Twitch stream: Freeview watchalong! Can't see any potential issues with rebroadcasting content from the BBC, ITV, Channels 4 and 5, UKTV, Quest, etc. I mean, they're literally giving it away for free on Freeview! That's how copyright and fair use works, right?
