Leya 🟥🟪⬜️🟩🟧 (@_Leyanelle_) reportedDoes anyone who sees this know how to watch ITV WC other than via the app when you don’t have access to freeview? The STV app is forced on us Scottish viewers by ITV & is utter CRAP quality for live footie & I don’t have access to freeview, I use a fire stick & no aerial. 😭😭😭
-
Ali-Pan (@alison_pannell) reported@Jenny_1884 @whinestop I believe the BBC needs to change it's funding model - preferably to a subscription service as using advertising would have negative effects on current Freeview channels. I would like to see a system similar to Sky so you could choose your subscription level.

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!
-
𝘾lifford (@cliffordh) reportedWhy is @ThatsTVOfficial "That's TV 2" only available on #Freeview, the weather today is playing havoc, constantly "Poor signal quality", why was the channel dropped from @freesat_tv - where the picture was never affected by "atmospherics". #ThatsTV
-
Trish Macfarlane 🏴🏴 (@TrishMacf) reported@DarranPearce @DJL78 Instead the BBC flood the screens with antiques, quizzes, property programmes and we don't have a choice as to whether to pay the licence fee or not! Call me old-fashioned, but TV was much better years ago and most of the Freeview channels are sheer crap!
-
Aintnofollabackho (@Bitmap_PLC) reported@jimthegiant To be fair switching off Freeview is a bad policy.
-
Matt Quinn - The Caledonian Television Company. (@Matt_Q_OnX) reported@iggy1966 @BENEFITS_NEWS They don't really, Chris... However the 'Freely' service currently being touted to replace Freeview in about 15 years time IS a streamed service which WILL be available via set top boxes/inbuilt IP provision in TV sets and probably an 'App'.

IronWorks1990 (@IronWorks1990) reported@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.

KennyBilly (@KeepingKen) reportedOver 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.

Jay 🏴 (@jordanpbanks) reported@soupyferns This generation have never had to sit up waiting for the 10 minute freeview, and it shows.
