To be honest, when you've removed the dependency of other real time tv, i cant see many people chipping in. Many will be paying just to watch their subscription service or Freeview.

@PayneB44 @tomhfh @BBC Your point was you want a break from it. There’s 1000s of channels, Freeview, YouTube, Sky, NOWTV, Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, BRITBOX DVDs, Blu-rays. Boxsets. There’s never been so much content to take your mind off it. Or just turn the telly off.

@DrRacheal @FreeviewTV When I had problems with Freeview, I found their helpline - when I eventually managed to get through to someone - very helpful. Took me step-by-step through the stuff I could check and solved it for me.

@FreeviewAdvice I’ve been experiencing a lot of poor quality imaging/interruptions of my freeview in my area, Chingford, London. Also I’ve been able to DM you and I’m not sure why the system is not enabling it. It doesn’t bring up your company when I try

Only 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 😂

@LushJEL I'm not much of a TV person as I don't really like it, but I found channel 83 on Freeview TV which is NOW The 80s, so some nights I just have it on in the background, lots of crap but also some good old ones 👍

@leksi_p Correct. If you do not have Freeview, Sky or Virgin (or any other cable service), you should not need to pay if you never watch it.

@Stephen_Neal Good shout! If we just take the Freeview/Freesat ones, we get to ten, excluding the National ones: 1) BBC One 2) BBC Two 3) BBC Four 4) CBBC 5) CBeebies 6) BBC News 7) BBC Parliament 8) Dave 9) Drama 10) Yesterday But they aren’t licence fee funded, so don’t help the argument.

@benji_writer @FutureDarren Hahaha, an oldie but a goldie. I watch a lot of 80s pop vids on Freeview. But why are they often such bad quality? And the aspect ratios off?

@RegularTweetsUK Also the HD versions of BBC News and Discovery Quest airing on freeview are shutting down next week due com7 band phasing out for 5g spectrum

Simon Bridger
(@SimonVisitor) reported
It's been announced the BBC News HD Channel will dissappear from freeview, however the service will broadcast in SD only on channel 231. This is happening due to the sale of COM7 to EE for their 5G network. I'm none to happy about this, putting it mildly.

@GBNEWS , Can someone please tell me why , when I'm watching on Freeview , does my GBNews signal keep breaking up when there's bad weather coming from the west . It doesn't happen on other channels .

Historical Television Website
(@htwcentral) reported
@whocolour @WhyNotts_ @Forces_TV Also from what I've read in the past, there's a future intention to further slim down Freeview to make way for more mobile frequency allocations and the subsequent switch to HD will mean only twelve or so channels in total. There won't be any +1 services so not as bad as it seems
