Simon 🤖 (@uncriticalsimon) reported from Newport, WalesWhy is the BBC World Service so hard to obtain EXCEPT in the one area which is explicitly not the target audience? In the UK the World Service is available 24/7 on DAB and I think Freeview and Freesat/Sky.

Simon 🥑🚟🚅😈💉💉💉 (@uncriticalsimon) reported from Newport, Wales.@Freeview question - how come the PSB muxes aren’t treated equally? The BBC one and the HD one seem to have a much better signal from Wenvoe than the “normal” ITV one. (I can get Mendip off a random bit of metal.)
-
Ian Cleverly (@IanCleverly06) reported from Trethomas, WalesJust an FYI @DMAX_UK but you've just showed Series 3 Ep10 of #Archer, when the Freeview EPG (and your website) has you showing the correct in order Ep 9. It has the same down for the Sat midnight showing (ie Ep 10 is listed in you'll show Ep 9)

The moderately far right 🏴 (@freefromwoke) reported@GBPolitcs Why should I pay a tax for a service I choose not to use? If I choose Sky, TNT, Paramount, Disney, Netflix ect. I pay for it. The ones I don’t pay for (Freeview services) are funded by advertising. Frankly the public funding for C4 should be revoked too.

🌈The Alternative💖💖 (@OksoImgay101) reportedMy TV channels have now shut down permanently. No more Freeview. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
-
Sam (@samazas) reported@rizzles066 @NotFarLeftAtAll Water and tv bills are the different things. This outdated laws about tv license are causing all those problems. Nowadays not many people still watch BBC or other freeview chanel. People browsing on the internet for news or watching YouTube…

Alec Baldwin's safe place (@AlecBaldwin999) reported@johnthejack Thanks. I was hoping they'd go back to it, but I figured they realised the graph was crap, and got rid of it. I used to have a box that recorded stuff, as well as a Sky dish that I just used for the equivalent of Freeview in the end, but the dish cable went iffy & by then...

CinOvation 📽 (@CinOvation) reported@roland26750 @silverfoxdude @FunMovieTVFan It's on Peacock in the U.S. and on Netflix in several international territories. It was originally available on the Audience Network (formerly Freeview) before the service shut down in May, 2020.

Kerguelen (@Aramith147) reported@itsGower @FionaMc79461755 @bosdovja92 Yes you do!!! absolutely need a TV licence to watch or record live TV on any channel or service, including Sky TV, Virgin Media, Amazon Prime Video, ITV, Channel 4, or free-to-air channels on Freeview or Freesat.

Presley Turberville (@T21949Presley) reported@tvukzone ******* **** off, you unfunny Freeview *****.

Priyamvada Gopal © (@PriyamvadaGopal) reported@TimFost2561 So if you cancel the license, you also can't access other freeview stuff, or am I completely off-base there?

Gillian Jamieson (@GillRaeWalker) reportedSupport @silvervoicesuk! "17 million people watch Freeview each week & 9 million rely solely on broadcast TV, more than half of whom are aged over 65. It would be cruel & irresponsible to force the most vulnerable households in the country to require an expensive broadband contract in order to continue watching TV." I agree. This group does great work! They also campaign to keep our fully reliable copper landlines, which will work in any electrical or internet outage unlike any other option.
