Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, EnglandOnly reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

-
Efootball🏴 (@Efootballgame1) reported@ollocoll Bring in food stamps. No car, only able to watch freeview, no internet, family of 5 should only get a 3 bed house and use bunk beds. No holidays. No phone contracts. They get a government issue phone. We need to stop rewarding laziness. People with disabilities can have luxuries.
-
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.

Richard Bartlett (@BartyMcBartface) reported@BBCMaryam I have soap on my feet after the below, sorry to rant, but it is in you and your great cultural contribution’s favour. The BBC is welcomed into our homes like family. ✅ Fraud is being committed by those taking the moving pictures content (and perhaps again soon, for radio usage), and the modern trend seems to be the plinth upon which people excuse themselves. ❌ I rather think, given the will to sell off the radio spectrum, that the licence levy belongs as a fiver per month on fixed and mobile internet devices, including roaming connectivity by arrivals as the product of inbound tourism. (Estimate this would bring in £6bn, which could fund BBC as-was and opt-in Internet experience safety by a low level path extension through a Bitesize style category block service and bureaucracy.) But back to the family analogy, the BBC is the auntie who visits us in our homes, and yet we never tire of her, and we are never relived when she nods off for the night by the hearth. The govt before this one knee-capped the fundamentals, and all that effort of retailers recording home addresses when receiver-capable equipment was bought. The elephant in the room being that a subscription service would require encryption, and next to nothing on FreeView or FreeSat considers that, apart from adult channels with hacks to the way the digital services are scraped from the multiplexes. MP Ms Nandy said she had ideas to ensure the BBC future and that tax eroding parties would never be able to ruin our most dignified and amazing project. I write this to you, Maryam, just to reassure a heart-on-sleeve, articulate and forward looking individual like yourself and your husband, that there are people who know exactly how empty the experience of media absorption becomes if auntie goes into a home, and all we are left with is her amazing life in diary form. Trust in the silent majority, and hope these whizzes in suits and sparkling white trainers do not blessed-prannick it all up! (Where did the word ‘prannick’ ever go, I guess it fell out with ‘Square’ and ‘Yar’?) But, the Project is bigger than any one, which CH4 and CH5 have partly proven for how the core offering is welcomed as long as there is occasional freshness from that ole 80s BBC Two style subversion and ability to laugh at institutions. Somebody smarter than me will steer a course. Perhaps like in Covid when the smart phones said how many of us were going about on the roads with application of new rules, etc. Perhaps the Barb data and corroboration with declarations of the licence not applying could be partnered with Apple and Alphabet-Google-Android to quantify when BBC is being absorbed, and use that data to get the govt if the day to rank the nation as honest or lying bar-stewards. And if the verdict is a lie, enforce something to do with how we stream, as my suggestion of a fiver per month for fixed and mobile could serve. Fundamentally, we cannot lose you guys, especially in consideration for how you would be on twice to four times your compensation package in commercial TV world. Plus,I think it is also still true that Austria, Switzerlandvand Germany charge more for their live TV access licence, have a narrower offer and take advertising too. And, whilst FreeView, FreeSat is shared with commercial TV today, but we enjoy less frequent and shorter ad breaks than is customary in North America, we can surely expect the deathknell of tolerable commercial TV to end when their per-station platform costs disappear when harm is delivering the final blow to BBC or serious parts thereof. BBC News, in all guises of plurality should be expanding to handle the billionaire outcrop creeping in, not actively trimming ****** limbs off. Or am I wrong? Hugs to best broadcaster to many tens of millions here and half-billions beyond. #Reliability #MidwayBias #Leader

jason_mi7 (@Mi7Jason) reported@WhichUK For live events,internet speed isn’t everything. For reliability/lowest delay, broadcast still wins: Freeview/satellite first,then cable/TV provider. Fibre streaming is great,but usually behind “live”. 5G/4G/Starlink can work well, but depend more on signal, congestion and load.

David Carroll (@DavidCarrollIr1) reportedIf you are a born-again Christian but have no church to go to, try watching the SonLife Broadcasting Network (SBN) on the United Kingdom's Freeview 94. It is also available 24/7 online, and on the radio in the USA. It is sound teaching, services, and worship.

Presley Turberville (@T21949Presley) reported@BritishComedy One more **** feminist's comedy for the Freeview telly dustbin.
-
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'.
-
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.

LondonUnity (@londonA84648) reported@TheGriftReport There are millions of pensioners and older folks who do not have broadband, do not want broadband, would never manage with a new television / apps, and rely on their Freeview television service to stay connected to the outside world Switching off Freeview would effectively be an isolation/ death sentence for many of these people
