Kate🇪🇺 (@darrksquid) reported from Bonnyrigg, ScotlandOk, Peanut Gallery, what is a decent news/current events show available on Freeview that I can watch for 15 minutes in the morning before work with my cereal? I can't do Piers Morgan, and BBC Breakfast IS pretty poor, I'll admit.

Doug Johnstone (@doug_johnstone) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland@JayStringer Just check out Blaze tv on freeview, seems like mad alien shit is half their content.

Gordon Hudson (@gordonhudsonnu) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland@HumanityReality @TonyTcrawley666 @voodude64 There is. They are all availble on their own streaming apps like iPlayer All4 etc. What Kapang did was aggregate them all into one place. I had a look and their other channels are still working, just not the Freeview ones. This makes me suspect its a legal issue.

Gary Finney Zair (@finneyzair) reported@inghamjj55 @TheMekon_Venus I pay towards many services out of my tax that I don’t benefit from, but I’m ok doing it because it means others can benefit. Freeview is the biggest digital platform in the U.K. - used by a lot of peoole aged 60, a % of the licence fee helps maintain that service. 1/2

William Poel (@wpoel) reportedWhat 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

Popeye (@PopeyeFreeview) reportedThe date of Freeview closure will be revealed in November 2026 by the government. 1 Freeview closure in 2034 more likely 2034 because 6G mobile phone signal will kill all relay Transmitters. 2 Freeview closure in 2044 Only main Transmitters can survive until 2044. Your mobile phone is sharing the same frequency as Freeview Mobile phone Frequency UHF 49 to 69 Freeview Frequency UHF 21 to 48 The future 6G mobile phone Frequency would take most of Freeview space in 2034. Freeview Frequency in 2034 would be UHF 21 to 35 that would close all relay Transmitters

Brian Newcombe (@BrianBnew) reported@MrSugden2 I have never subscribed to any TV packages. It's all Freeview for me (though I understand they're planning to switch it off sometime...)

The Taxman ✞ (@CohleTheTaxman) reported@Steven59066 @AmandaMounthump My idea to write to parliament. You're a kind man and they shouldn't be making decisions like this, which will cause you problems and upset, so it will. They need to be told its not right and the decision needs stopped. Although someone told me Freeview might actually stay

Charles Stuart (@FurryfeaturesUK) reported@lippyent Star Trek (TOS). Every weekday evening when I’m not working on Legend, Freeview channel 41.

Judith Nicholson (@JudeNicho) reported@cyclingontnt When are the highlight programmes available on HBO Max? I see them on freeview on DMAX at 7pm, but never available on HBO Max other than a 10 min compilation?It's not possible to get the DMAX show on catch up so it's quite poor compared to before moving to HBO.

Chef Paul (@ChefPaul41) reportedReckon we had better offerings on TV last week in our lodge ( caravan ) with Freeview than we do back home with virgin media. TV sucks.
-
CharlesWynfordLodge (@2hrTV) reported@CountMoriarty @dave43law Yeah its stupid. What is the positive of switching it off? Everyone would need a fire stick type of thing and apps to watch channels. They're rubbish. There's often delay/time lag and no full access to all Freeview channels. Freeview is better
