    @KarmaUnc @GMB @joshwiddicombe Yes, but the BBC is a significant contributor to Arquiva who own the masts. They also support Freeview and Freesat.

    @chloesammike @andywigmore @KayBurley Don't worry you can still get Sky news on channel 132 on your Freeview box. Thick ****.....

    @Steve_Laws_ Home Office Questions today (7th) at 2.30pm, let's wait and see if the immense issues of Channel crossings pops up. If it does it will be the same old questions with the same old answers so we'll be no further forward! Parliament Channel freeview 232

    @Sir_Woofingtons If you want to pay for it, shouldn't there be a choice enabling you to do so, but others not to do so? I don't see why they just don't go ad-funded on Freeview like every other network, with the option of subscription on iPlayer for ad-free catch-up and premium content.

  • veryoldbilly Bill Swan (@veryoldbilly) reported

    @BBCMonitoring @Ofcom @Freeview To whom can one report TV reception problems? Freeview and Ofcom direct to the BBC’s site, which requires 15 minute completion of details before announcing that ‘there was a problem - please try again’. Repeatedly. No TV reception for 3 days

    @uk_domain_names We want Freeview, but haven't finished watching Breaking Bad. How dare you punish me like this

  • iamnotmiserable Marc Smith (@iamnotmiserable) reported

    @utb_smith @jimbobity If Grimes was an advert he'd be one of those twenty minute long ones they stick on Freeview in the dead of night, flogging **** air fryers and granite based pans. A lot of talk and when the gear shows up its third rate tat.

  • just_call_me_DK Dreamkiller (@just_call_me_DK) reported

    @IanCornwell6 @GBNEWS I'm screwed. Don't have Sky or any other paid for service & only get limited freeview service due to our location. Looks like we won't be able to get @GBNEWS. To be honest though, I'm just glad it'll be there, hopefully challenging some of the ridiculous shite that's happening.

  • TweetHeike_Dino Heike and Dino (@TweetHeike_Dino) reported

    The problem I have with the BAFTAs is that the traditional form of watching television has been eroded over the last years into people who can afford to watch streaming services and Sky for example and folk like me who rely on Freeview for telly programs. Which is rather sad!

    @Harryc3000 @CuratorOfSands It was never a thing on Freeview television.
