    @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%.

    @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.

    @2261552iThe How are people supposed to watch on Freeview? I don't trust BT and will never use them as they owe us money when we changed Broadband and phone provider. They never returned our money and won't respond to emails or calls.

  • DoubleMackem Steve Ruffell (@DoubleMackem) reported

    @AlStewartOBE Freeview v cable or satellite TV. Mobile phone v smart phone. Holiday abroad v stay at home. Big brand clothes v supermarket brand. Putting more clothes on v keeping heat on. All choices we have to make to 'make ends meet'. Reasonable to check with those seeking support.

  • JAQKpanda ♦♠JAQK♥♣🐼Vtuber! (@JAQKpanda) reported

    @KatiKnitt That really sucks. We have the TV license here in the UK, but if you don't actually consume "live TV" (BBC, freeview, live sports, etc.) then you don't actually have to pay for it; in my case, all I use is YT, Twitch & stream subs. Shocking and aggravating that you're forced to!

  • PaulSRobson PaulScott (@PaulSRobson) reported

    @Archie167 @RupertLowe10 Freeview has PPV built in. You can see the signal but you can't decode it.

  • greysetter greysetter (@greysetter) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice After watching All4 on Freeview, we switch back to live TV, but the sound is missing. We have to turn everything off at the mains then on again, to make the sound return. Can you advise a better way /how to avoid this problem ?

  • 8bitToNow TripTheConsole (@8bitToNow) reported

    The Freeview is down in my area. As #Eurovision is on, I thought I had a lucky escape but nope...the Mrs has just beamed it over iPlayer. Eurghhh 😔
