Stephen Neal (@Stephen_Neal) reported@UHD4k @Bobbinz @SVGEurope Afraid although I work for BBC Studios (which makes shows for the BBC) I have no insight into what iPlayer may support in the future. AAC was chosen for Freeview HD because Dolby had no equivalent receiver-mix audio desc'n support in 2009ish when the platform was standardised.

fizzforbrexit (@fizzforbrexit) reportedI have never missed watching terrestrial TV, it won't be a big leap to also cancel Freeview. I'll just read even more.

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

Andrew Osborne (@AOzborne) reported@LillacTyanu @Selene_Mariposa “BBC is put on all TVs via freeview by default” WTF are you talking about??

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.

Ant brown (@AntBisexualant2) reported@cxdi55 @skytv @SkyHelpTeam I had to buy one of their Pucks because the Freeview signal was so bad. First one was broken but they still tried to blame my broadband, tried to get me to switch. told them I was locked into a 2 year deal. they shut up. Shop around.

It remains on Freeview (for now) but is said to be suffering financial problems.

Aintnofollabackho (@Bitmap_PLC) reported@jimthegiant To be fair switching off Freeview is a bad policy.

Newton's Laws (@Newtons_Laws) reportedDon’t pull the plug on Freeview! A proposal to scrap this service must not go ahead. Noted your petition on free TV, which I presume you simply mean terrestrial. I signed for the obvious reasons you state even though I'm unaffected. Your opening pitch is all wrong though. Is this all you have to say to the PM "

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.
