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

  @v8oholic @AdventuresVw @Roku I record everything using a freeview box so I can skip all the advert breaks, saves lots of time. My arerial is in my loft, but I have hardwired cat6 network sockets is all rooms too, which are more stable than WiFi.

  Does anyone who sees this know how to watch ITV WC other than via the app when you don’t have access to freeview? The STV app is forced on us Scottish viewers by ITV & is utter CRAP quality for live footie & I don’t have access to freeview, I use a fire stick & no aerial. 😭😭😭

  What happened last night? Mon aug 3? Freeview on band 4 uhf just stopped in the cm3 area. The tropo map was a bit messy, a d there was very little sporadic e showing. The blackout was total but it's all back now. Are you aware of any transmission failure? However a crucial Star Trek Enterprise episode on Sky mix at 11:00 p.m. failed to record, and retrieving it requires a Paramount subscription! @FreeviewAdvice

  @JoshCF_ They're a joke now, two years ago the deal was £45 with basic freeview and Sky Q and now it's £63. They've also ended customer support on here and UK based customer calls. The app regularly messes up now, doesn't recognise you've paid and you end up getting charged again 😑

  @RidgeandFrost @WilfredFrost Once Freeview is turned off by this Government, ITV under American ownership will be a subscription model streaming service.

  There is a weird bug where save/load files from freeview perspective (i.e. the one that isn't the isometric top down view) causes double-prompts on saving/loading existing names

  @UHD4k @Bobbinz @SVGEurope Afraid although I work for BBC Studios (which makes shows for the BBC) I have no insight into what iPlayer may support in the future. AAC was chosen for Freeview HD because Dolby had no equivalent receiver-mix audio desc'n support in 2009ish when the platform was standardised.

  @superTV247 Simple answer of course would just be to let viewers decide and make the tv licence voluntary. If people want the BBC they will pay for it. The licence is a poll tax - the poorest and the richest pay the same - and very regressive. Why force the poor to pay to watch freeview tv

  @reformparty_uk Freeview TV is yesterday's free-to-air. Freely is the future. Still free, still the same crap.

  @Steven59066 Wasnt it because u was angry at government itself for closing down freeview, u thought you’d get their f*cking attention this time,
