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.
-
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.

Mitch W 71 (@Mitch_1142) reported@1Atkins @ThatsTVOfficial xenon81Message posted on30 Jul 2026 03:21 PM - last edited: 30 Jul 2026 03:22 PM That's TV has gradually removed all its channels from Sky, Freesat and Virgin Media over the last few months. It remains on Freeview (for now) but is said to be suffering financial problems.

Kenneth Willcocks (@KennethWillcoc1) reported@TheStingisBack Last time I saw this film (Time After Time 1979) was in 1990's. Never shown on Freeview channels since then unfortunately!
-
Random Noob (TeK✨) (@RandomNoobYT) reported@KarenGr58411658 @DailyMail All paid for with the licence fee, the government does not fund TV transmission infrastructure, this is controlled and operated by the BBC. No BBC, No transmission network, no Freeview. This is why you have to pay the licence for all live TV.
-
South Wales Pragmatist (@WalesPragmatist) reported@alunsays @EnglandRugby Not in HD on Freeview. For a premium match it's a poor effort from ITV, like watching TV in the 90s...
-
George (The UK Action Team) (@UKAT_George) reportedPrecisely and if the BBC want to discontinue running the freeview service and save money on upkeep of the transmitters why do we have to pay the licence fee. If you decide to only watch non BBC live channels online which you pay for by having broadband then the licence is wrong.
-
BrendanB (@Brendan80704486) reported@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
-
LDH Marketing (@LDHMarketing) reported@BBCLookEast With landlines becoming broadband only, and Freely starting to replace Freeview we are becoming 100% dependent on broadband. That has dangerous implications for resilence if broadband goes down, or worse if you never had adequate broadband at all.
-
'darnstadium' (@darnstadium) reportedThere's an interesting problem here. Switching off Freeview would make spectrum available for 5/6G, but at the (enormous) cost of putting all that bandwidth on existing connections. Not least all the perfectly good non-smart TVs that would become E-waste overnight.
-
Martin Dalton (@martindalton5) reported@ABridgen This is a government tax on the people. Make the BBC pay pre view via iPlayer with a limited free service of 1 channel on Freeview/freely called BBC Mix
-
A (@andrewmtj) reported@simonmontefiore I have been trying Blue Bloods recently as it is on Freeview. Never made the end of one. Poor, but nice to see Magnum again - how his voice has changed!
