  @MrJohnNicolson @CommonsDCMS How would a subscription model for Channel 4 even work? It's delivered free, over the air. Its only value is its freeview slot, which has to be funded by advertising or sponsorship. It could develop a subscription service, but anyone could do that now without buying Channel 4.

  2 absolutely horrible teams in a scottish cup final today. Wont be watching, looking like it will be the sunderland game for me.. unless i can find something better to watch.. on a plus side though, EVERY BBC channel has disappeared from my freeview ☝

  While channel-hopping, I just caught a segment on a "news" channel in which some wazzock was joking that his gorilla mask was non-binary. That probably narrows it down to 2 Freeview channels in the UK.

• Christopher Murfin (@Christo25577660) reported 9 minutes ago

  I don't know what happened last night but at about 9 O'clock last night, I completely lost all of my Digital Freeview TV channels. All I could access was all of the TV channels via Samsung TV Plus, and that was it. Whether it was a power outage at the transmitter, I don't know.

  I will be talking to @RobbieRinder today at 6:15pm on @TalkTV about CBT-I and the app Sleepio recommended by NICE to be the used ahead of sleeping pills to treat insomnia. Viewers can watch via 📺 Freeview 237, Sky 526, Virgin 627 #CBT

  …as well as numerous add on packages and this money is being completely wasted. The customer service is absolutely shocking. I have relied on now tv rather than freeview etc for television in my home and am now left with nothing even though I’m paying upwards of £25 a month.

• Mr. Eric Foxford (@FoxfordMr) reported 18 minutes ago

  @MrJohnNicolson @terrychristian @Channel4 She’s lying. Selling off Channel 4 is prologue to selling off the BBC. Only rich Tories will benefit from it. The poor will have to pay more for subscription TV than they ever would for the BBC, ITV C4, C5 and Freeview. All that for around 47p a day licence fee.

  @blujreviews I don't drink, I don't smoke, cook all my own food from basic ingredients, cut back on monthly payments (e.g basic phone package, only freeview TV). Savings mount up fast. Never spent money I didn't have - no credit.

• Phil Crawley (@IsItBroke) reported 22 minutes ago

  Just flailed past @GBNEWS on Freeview; a year on and their studio pictures still look awful and the audio sync is wrong. Did every broadcast engineer refuse the job offer?!

• Sarah Harbour (@LwtEmmaBird) reported 23 minutes ago

  Hi @rmc47 - @melharbour suggested you might be able to help. Any ideas why a Freeview TV signal might disappear in the middle of the day? We've retuned, but it works fine until about 8.30am, then pixelated before finally displaying 'no signal' - so can't believe it's the tuning
