  • 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!

  • 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.

    From memory The Goodies was funny. Have just seen a repeat on a weird channel Freeview 65. Blimey. Awful. I mean, terrible. #goodies #thatstv(uk)

    @4Viewers Is there a known issue with All4 on Freeview Play? I cant log on - can enter my email address, but the keys don’t register when putting in the password. Any ideas?

    Still not sure why on UK freeview you’re never more than 20 minutes away from a programme about Hitler.

  • PaulCarmichaelV Paul Carmichael (@PaulCarmichaelV) reported

    @Harrison1Ron Excellent. So, how do you fund the Disabiiity Programmes Unit, educational resources and Freeview transmitter maintenance. Or do the disabled/poor/kids not matter? OR does this chap not actually know what the licence fee pays for, like so many others?

  • liambrazier Liam Brazier (@liambrazier) reported

    Potentially stupid question but (in the UK) you need an aerial or dish for Freeview/sat TV right? You can’t get that over cable or just WiFi??

  • Andy12366183386 Andy 1234 (@Andy12366183386) reported

    @danwootton @GBNEWS 236 on Freeview is probably a number to far for everyone’s favourite Countdown star that never was.
