    @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.

    @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

    The SBN Network, which broadcasts on Freeview channel 94, is scheduled to close on Wednesday, October 15, 2025. This closure is part of a series of changes to Freeview channels, which may require viewers to retune their televisions to update their channel lists. The announcement follows other recent channel adjustments, including the removal of several channels and the introduction of new services. Viewers are advised to check their devices and retune as necessary to continue accessing available channels.

    @suemonkman29 Freeview has >100 channels. Wireless radios still work. Paper books are still a thing. Popping in to see a disabled neighbour used to be the norm. I'm not convinced the underlying problem has anything to do with money.

    @SydneyCityTV ITV has all of its services exclusively in HD on Satellite (I think, please feel free to correct me on this), Virgin Media, again I'm not sure, also surprised to see that only the main channel (ITV1) is HD on Freeview. I have EE TV, the signal works over Wi-Fi,

    @stevencamlou @juneslater17 Agreed, use youtube, freeview, freely, nowTV, etc. Sounds like they need a reality check and debt counselling. No shame in getting help to maximise what you can have for the least money.

  • Nigelh7n Nigel Hurneyman (@Nigelh7n) reported

    @Ofcom Is this going to further reduce #Freeview's terrestrial service?

  • EastLight Ollie (@EastLight) reported

    @GBNEWS - "Going subscription would result in those without internet losing access." ❌ INCORRECT - Freeview supports securely encrypted Pay TV. Every Freeview TV has a card slot (CI) on the rear for a viewing card. It was previously used in UK by "TopUp TV", without any problems. (3of4)

    @ejhchess @flying_rodent @paulewart23 Freeview? DVD? Sky? never heard of them mate x

  • DavidLongbenton David Alexander (@DavidLongbenton) reported

    @irisfurnham @Jenny_1884 There'd still be freeview....==loads of other channels. People only using "Freeview" have to pay the BBC to watch "free" channels even if they never watch BBC, the system is corrupt.
