  • JonnyRoLi JR (@JonnyRoLi) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

    @bigpapablu @itvfootball I don’t have a sky or freeview box! I stream everything and have very good internet so it’s never an issue haha

  • GerryCarpenter3 Gerry Carpenter (@GerryCarpenter3) reported from Sunderland, England

    @Claire_Pickard @sueashton3000 Many residents in Sunderland & along the Durham Coast also receive Freeview Channels from the Bilsdale transmitter. The fire is also likely to have knocked out about 30 relay stations, which "feed" on signals from Bilsdale. I wouldn't like to climb up the transmitter to fix it!

    @edgarwright @broccantyzack @itv2 Would make for a brilliant friday/saturday/sunday triple header. Would love to break it down into how many times a year they appear on freeview TV

    @PhilJam50063624 Hi Phil, I am sorry to hear that you are having issue with your Freeview reception. So we can look into this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • sarahpegg9 Sarah Pegg🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #ScottishIndependence (@sarahpegg9) reported

    @jtlightbody BBC Parliament - Freeview 232, noon. However, if you want to retain your sanity, I suggest that you record it. I fear that Spaffer is going to be at his smirking worst!

  • mudlarklives Clay Harris 🇪🇺💉💉💉😷 (@mudlarklives) reported

    @OhBlimey Never on before 4pm, rarely on after 10pm. No news or current affairs. Sky Arts (via Freeview) or BBC4 when possible. The soaps basically are just *on*, not heavily invested in.

  • RainbowChazer Music is my first love. And it will be my last. (@RainbowChazer) reported

    @wargandonor @David__Osland My argument entirely. Stick it in general taxation to preserve Freeview and radio (which are apparently important to many people) and make the rest of it subscription only. Happy to support my Twitch streamers who are the reason I have to pay the licence fee in the first place.

  • GregHallsworth Greg Hallsworth (@GregHallsworth) reported

    @rogermosey I fear those advocating a subscription model would be happy to see Freeview shut down 😢

  • craftymiss Sharon MacDonald-Armitage (@craftymiss) reported

    @Theatremonkey1 @Freeview @FreeviewAdvice Oh wow, never knew that was happening

  • grumpyoldstan Grumpy Stan.🎼 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 📻 (@grumpyoldstan) reported from Tamworth District, England

    @itvnews I complained about that awful erectile disfunction advert that appears on some Freeview channels, sometimes in the day & at teatimes, when kids will be watching & they didn't do anything! They said it was fine. It's not nice when young grandkids ask what erectile disfunction is!

  • BrandinyourHand Roger Tomlinson (@BrandinyourHand) reported

    @jamesdoeser @bectu @MegaphoneUK The problem as most media are discussing, no viable alternative has been proposed handling issues of vast amount of free-to-air radio & television the BBC broadcasts, with no infra-structure technology that would enable any kind of charging mechanism for radio or freeview

  • fluffmitten Fluffmitten 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🌈❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️ (@fluffmitten) reported

    @DaveOufc They could do it like Freeview - core channels are free, then you can choose to pay for add-ons. All this tech exists, they've just never had to consider it before

  • jonwensley Jon Wensley (@jonwensley) reported

    How would you, technically, make a TV service through an aerial work as a subscription service? Would you make people pay for a Sky/Virgin box to enable them to receive a BBC subscription service? What about the 10 million Freeview users and 1.5m people without internet access?
