    @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.

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

  • 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%.

    @InspireAndStyle Hi, Karen. If you're getting FVP-300 on all Freeview Play players, check to see if there's a software update available for your Freeview Play device. If you've done an update and the player are still not launching on the TV, contact the devices manufacturer for support

    Is there a problem with freeview tv signal in South Wales area today?

  • GreenBin69 Mike Lyon 🇵🇸 🇬🇧 (@GreenBin69) reported

    @karlbeeby @Vlad42250421 @SueSaffa If that's what this dictatorship wants to do, then let's go for a subscription/lo advertising mix, ditch the regional & BBC World functions, slim down a bit, gain real independence, less Interence & Gov can deal with Freeview & pensioners subscriptions. BBC still a global brand.

    @soph_letitia It’s on FreeSports not Premier, you can watch it online or on FreeView if you can get it on your TV down there

  • AuntieSyzygy Auntie 🫐 (@AuntieSyzygy) reported

  • martin_j_wilson Martin Wilson (@martin_j_wilson) reported

    @PaulLittler4 I've paused it a couple of times but I'm only on the Freeview SD version so it's not that clear. Maybe one day when there's a Blu-Ray re-issue :)

  • JulieSmith2001 Julie Smith (@JulieSmith2001) reported

    @MixedRaceSpur @Forces_TV I’ve got a Freeview box which I can record on I can get it through that but the signal is breaking up with the weather, always happens. I tried to get it through the normal TV aerial but the channel wasn’t available & it should be. Retuned the TV now I’ve lost more channels!

    One bad thing about #Freeview TV is all the begging adverts. Ignore em all, ain't contributing towards inflated staff salaries. Plenty of local little charities.
