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.
-
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.
-
Red Moon 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 🍁 🇬🇱 (@Undercover_mole) reported@GBNEWS Problem is Freely isn't free.... You need a broadband connection costing you tens of pounds per month. Where as Freeview and Freesat are actually free to view.
-
Tommy D (@TomDennison12) reported@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 !
-
Squirrell13 (@GracenMagz) reported@OlooneyJohn Our freeview doesnt even work. Can never get all the channels, they seem to go missing and the signal often drops out.
-
marc (@mbutler2007) reported@DanielHussey2 Dont think it would be good having Down Fermanagh on RTE news channel. It has limited coverage in the north . It's not on Freeview or cable or satliight in the north and saorview is limited in Co Down due to morne mountain shadow. Not the promotion the Tailteann cup was promised
-
Jay 🏴 (@jordanpbanks) reported@soupyferns This generation have never had to sit up waiting for the 10 minute freeview, and it shows.
-
Essex Baldy (@darrensharp73) reported@TalkTV @cjsnowdon @iancollinsuk I don’t necessarily believe a sub model would work, but as an initial step they should require subscription-based logins at least for their TV and web-based services (radio maybe less practical). Maybe just have SD broadcasts on Freeview and require streaming for HD due to practicalities (Sky shouldn’t be an issue). This way those who don’t pay (for a license) will find it hard to view, and it would also cut off more overseas users who view without paying.

Douglass_McFarnham (@douglassfarnham) reported@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,

Tony Quintus 🇬🇧 🏴 (@MisterQuintus) reported@DanielJHannan Now explain how you make BROADCAST TELEVISION a subscription service without a technology change on the scale of the move to freeview.
