    @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%.

    @maryfordneal You don't need a box for Netflix. Freeview connection (via aerial) normally comes set up in the TV. Some TVs do Freesat instead, and they get the signal from a dish. You don't need to subscribe to anything to get Freesat or Freeview. 'Catchup' of main channels free via apps on TV

  • tormid1951 norman kebell (@tormid1951) reported

    @williamjohnmcl3 I only realised it was on Freeview. Still never nor will ever watch it #ScottishIndependence6

  • clazza40 Claire (@clazza40) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice no channels in SN6 since last Thursday but no reported problems when calling the Freeview helpline. How do we report? Entire village affected. TIA

  • simplicitymvl Mariska (@simplicitymvl) reported

    @darrengrimes_ We had freeview outage the last few days. What a bliss….

  • JeremyBennett JeremyBennett (@JeremyBennett) reported

    @MartinSLewis Amazon Prime and Netflix ! I clicked Amazon Prime above, because it is included in the delivery service so is effectively "free". We don't have Sky as we cancelled that many many years ago. We use iPlayer, 4OD, ITVOD, etc quite a bit too. For terrestrial we use HD Freeview.

  • grahamm30392424 graham montgomery (@grahamm30392424) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam @praburamswamy So does this tv have built in Freeview digital via RF so you can watch it if you cancel subscription

  • ChefGarethS Chef G (@ChefGarethS) reported

    @BustedSpyke @BBC I thought the Red Button on BBC was free? I'm guessing it is if you have freeview on your TV but how'd you get to watch that on a laptop / mobile device? As for the online commentary, I've got the same problem as I'm just on the edge of 95.5FM's area 🤬

  • hopeless_punter Dan Chivers (@hopeless_punter) reported

    @wgf1976 @GBNEWS It's not news though. Call it Farage TV and stick it on YouTube for those that want it. No problem with that. Broadcasting as a "news" channel, in the news section of the EPG, using precious Freeview capacity? *That* I don't believe in, no. No right thinking person would.

  • Pogit Richard Adams (@Pogit) reported from Lincoln District, England

    @FreeviewAdvice I’m asking if its coming to Freeview Play, why would Sky know that? The BBC have said it’s coming to internet connected TV services (including Sky Glass). Freeview Play is an internet connected TV service it not? One not limited by manufacturer unlike Sky’s service.

    @arch1com Me. Freeview is crap, two different channels with Jaws 2 on at one point. Gone back to watching my DVDs. I've got a huge collection 👍
