  @BoostTorbay @AndrewBrazier1 Never used the first two options. Very much old school. None of the fancy pants Sky or Virgin Media either. Just plain old Freeview for me

  @HLTCO It's been **** for years. The last time I properly watched it was when Ray Stubbs was still in charge and we had Score on the Red Button. When Sky Sports News went free on Freeview, I watched Soccer Saturday instead.

  @Osprey0 @SkyNews Yes, GB News WAS in HD on Freeview, but the paedophiles in @OfCom decided to erase five HD TV channels, for garbage 5G mobile phones. The channels are still in HD on satellite, a cheapo sat box, sub £100 dish, and decent cable, and you can have it all so long as dish south facing

  @dskiuk2 @Danrocsky76 @cordbusters I went Paris last year and our tv where we stayed was through through aerial, 50 odd channels and every single one of the was HD. Freeview now is terrible in 2026, full of shovelware channels and hardly any HD channels, SD channels look awful as well.

  Over 13 million households across the UK currently rely on Freeview - and residents could be forced to fork out an additional £20 monthly and potentially purchase a new television set if the service is discontinued, experts have cautioned.

  Only the Brits could reach the top tier of world ice hockey and then have literally zero channels bother showing their games. Proper GB support: ‘We’ll die on the beaches… but not on Freeview, mate. Just pay €30 for the official stream like a proper mug.’

  @FractalDoctor @DailyMail TV and radio is all that many elderly people have for comfort, especially living on their own with limited mobility, so yes, taking away Freeview is a bad idea. I doubt if too many 80 to 90 year olds have a fast broadband connection !
