    If we're in lock down for another 3 weeks, I really feel the #sonyChristmasChannel should be put back on #freeview...Will keep people in the house ( okay, it'll easily keep me in the house🎅🤶🌲

  • 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

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    Ofcom requires public service channels to have slot in the top 24 slots of the channel list. BBC Three must be assigned a top 24 slot within 18 months. Freeview is doing this immediately. Commercial operators have expressed concern that the BBC will swap Three and Four around,

    @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!

  • craftymiss Sharon MacDonald-Armitage (@craftymiss) reported

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

  • GregHallsworth Greg Hallsworth (@GregHallsworth) reported

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

  • merseymale PRIME RADIO LIVERPOOL (@merseymale) reported

    I have to watch @ITVWales due to my freeview not working #tippingpoint

  • JustLEAVEeu Just Leave.EU (@JustLEAVEeu) reported

    Just because we’re in a “universal broadcasting bad place”, is not an excuse not to bite the bullet and move to a subscription model to fund the BBC. Yes, some people reliant on Freeview will lose out, that’s life! There are other ways to enjoy life, go 2 the pub, church, mosque

    @TalkingPicsTV @justinionn @SkyUK That's a shame - I only got Sky Glass due to getting-a-dish issues and poor Freeview signal. Hope they think again!

  • PCarmichaelVO Paul Carmichael (@PCarmichaelVO) reported

    @d0hertyry4n @TomRafferty4 Yes, sure. Because you’re incapable of answering anything on the subject. You’re not coming at it from a position of knowledge. I mean everyone in the industry acknowledges the Freeview problem doesn’t have a solution. That’s a given. Or can you solve what the experts can’t?

    @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

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    @duffaSteve Most 5G is far away from Freeview frequencies. But band 28 (700MHz) is starting to be used by O2, 3 and EE, using frequencies either side of those used by COM7. Cellmapper is a useful app showing you which bands are in use by your mobile network in the area.
