Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • kentindell Ken Tindell (@kentindell) reported

    @stephenkb @colinelves There’s a technical issue with existing Freeview (DVB-T2 as rolled out in the UK) equipment being used for content access. It’s impractical to turn conventional TV into pay TV. So it will have to be free to air plus top up TV via streaming and/or another box.

    @Aiannucci If the BBC is great, it will have no trouble getting subscribers, what are you afraid of? Why force say pensioners or the poor to pay a regressive tax? They may be happy with FreeView, why should they be forced into paying for the BBC if they don't want it?

  • JeffTrainer3 Jeff Trainer (@JeffTrainer3) reported

    @Uptotherewithit @TVSanjeev Well that stuff is paid for so just strip the woke crap & run World Service type news & all the old programs on Freeview, but not funded by a Licence Fee or the taxpayer. All other sport, comedy, films, etc can go on Advert or subscription model, and that pays for the former!

  • lewismj_waioeka Michael Lewis (@lewismj_waioeka) reported

    @Fles__ @partnumber2 They wouldn't be destroying it. What are you afraid of? If the BBC is as good as you say it is, they'll have lots of subscribers, go global. For those that would prefer to save money and just use FreeView, why would you force them to pay for a service you want but they don't?

  • colinelves Colin Elves (@colinelves) reported

    @Glostermeteor @stephenkb I’m sure their grand plan isn’t to turn off the signal, but to make it encoded and subject to subscription. But most freeview boxes that people only now have after a long and expensive campaign of digital switchover that was really only about selling bandwidth to mobile operators

  • MediaBoyUK Media Boy UK (@MediaBoyUK) reported

    Set to happen on Wednesday (Jan. 19th) on Freeview: -Ideal World moves from Channel 22 to Channel 50. -Paramount Network become 5Action on Channel 32. -TJC moves from Channel 50 to Channel 22.

    @BerishaShow But if it's a subscription service there would be no reason to keep those prohibitively expensive stations going. They would chase profits like any other business. Also, please tell me how subscription freeview TV / FM radio could work from a technical point of view?

  • stansmith1970 Stan Smith (@stansmith1970) reported

    @CAA_Official Most of the defund the BBC tossers would happily cite "Only fools & horses" as their favourite comedy. They also seem to fail to recognise the Freeview channels they watch and it's infrastructure are provided in part by the BBC whilst they are sat watching BBC repeats on 'Dave'

    @back_the_BBC #Subscription for TV channels cannot currently be achieved on Freeview because it doesn't support encryption with identity-based decryption. This is the principal reason why government reluctantly accepts #BBC TV services must remain fully open until at least 2027.
