  • 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!

    @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.

    @SkyHelpTeam hi. I’m going into my final year of uni and I’d like some sort of recording box. I’ve tried freeview/sat but they’re bad. Can I get it for 12 months and not 18? I really don’t need it for 18 and I’m not sure if I can afford it. Also, do you still do Freesat by Sky?

  • pigfarmery MrShifter (@pigfarmery) reported

    Our accommodation has only got #Freeview. I’m beginning to have genuine sympathy for poor people.

    @GBNEWS If the BBC is such an excellent broadcaster! Why doesn't it create a paywall & create its own wealth? It is wrong that people who pay for sky, virgin or never watch BBC on freeview, have to pay for a license to support a bloated organisation they don't use.

  • Liberalsnowfl19 Blackbeard 🏴‍☠️🍻 (@Liberalsnowfl19) reported

    @BillySarstard @vwgti80 @DJBURNS_was Yes as the licence fee funds freeview and freesat. Its a public service. Just like council tax payers help fund public libraries. Its providing a service for the masses.

  • joeylk71 Joanne Gray (@joeylk71) reported

    @jacszosia @SaveHolbyCity I have to watch through iPlayer because I only have Freeview on my telly. I'd rather put up with freezes and delays than constant pixellation, dropout and that irritating screeching sound that watching Freeview's dreadful signal (or lack of) involves.

  • SimonScottUKNZ Simon Scott (@SimonScottUKNZ) reported

    @ianpaynesport you can change the tv channel numbers, mind you it took me 10 years to find out. Eg. One is no longer bbc, it can be whatever you set it as. (Freeview) I never watch bbc itv channel 4

  • Christonabikee Christ on a bike (@Christonabikee) reported

    @elseano85 @NoContextBrits Freeview channels funding themselves through advertising, like they already do, & paid ad-free subscription services, like the ones that already exist Literally the only thing that needs to change is the BBC becoming a subscription service. It isn't that difficult to understand

  • MrZackwood somebody (@MrZackwood) reported

    @BenedwardsBen I think they had a channel. It was Freeview channel 64 I believe. I retuned my Freeview multiple times, never got channel number 64
