  • 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%.

  • 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.

    @RaewynScott1 I havenʼt looked into that Freeview on Demand yet but it sounds like I donʼt need to! 😯 Sounds like they want to become a streaming service and donʼt really want to do broadcast TV any more.

  • djuwannamann Ben Dover (@djuwannamann) reported

    @sophieelsworth @australian @aus_media No one under 35 watches Freeview TV It's garbage and cringy program after program. Over saturated with ridiculously edited and scripted "reality tv" and the news has become biasedly partisan, misinforming, innacurrate and disingenuous. Freeview basically strangled itself

  • ron__west Ron West (@ron__west) reported

    @A_Liberty_Rebel @MargotLJParker @CatharineHoey Why not have low resolution & mono sound (with expensive sports/etc events replaced by old films) on the Freeview service, and HD & stereo of full repertoire on paid services?

  • Notts_TV Notts TV (@Notts_TV) reported

    @Ayrton12Senna @NottsTV Sorry for the earlier issues - you should find this is resolved now on Freeview

  • helen0107 Helen Charlesworth 💙 (@helen0107) reported

    Bad news - the family I'm babysitting for only have @FreeviewTV No offense to Freeview, but how am I going to watch the @ChampionsLeague now? Plan B is my @btsportfootball on my ipad, but need to find WIFI & password to facilitate that. Especially if it goes to ET & penalties

  • Pic889 Dimitris (@Pic889) reported

    @gerardjasper This begs the question: Since you can't receive the entirety of BBC's broadcasts through generic DVB-T2 equipment (you need a special "Freeview HD" receiver), why not encrypt the service and give subscribers a CAM module to watch it? Let's see how many really want to pay for it.

  • CDProd95 Connor Dale (@CDProd95) reported

    @tjtex26 BBC1 was a bad example but Sky 1 isn't part of Freeview is it, as far as I can see if you want Sky Sports through sky and not now TV you need to have sky's contract for Sky 1 etc

  • WezzRail Wez (@WezzRail) reported

    @PetroPablo3 @DitsyRedOne @beffybadbelly So circumstances can't change? They may have been able to afford the TV and simply use freeview rather than paying for a service...

  • 1066shrimprail SHRIMP - Hastings (@1066shrimprail) reported

    Anyone else finding that DAVE and W channels on freeview are suffering from really annoying blackout screens? (Have retuned x2 so not the set).
