Freeview Outage in London, England

@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.

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.

@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.

@stevieboywise If that’s Freeview maybe due to high pressure issue again.

Now I have the truly truly shit @EE freeview package (literally the worst selection of channels on earth but boy is it cheap broadband) I only watch the main 5 channels or SVOD. W, Dave, ITV2 etc are dead to me

Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

@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.

@loudouglas75 I have such shit freeview I only have itv2+1

@itvhub Humax FVP-4000T 1TB Freeview Set Top Box Recorder, and having to sign in more or less every time is making us all dislike Martin Freeman

@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

@Disco_Squirrel I’ve got the shitty EE freeview box and it’s one of the apps on there, but never used

@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 👍

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 😂

@PanasonicUK I have Panasonic Viera TV set now the Sony Crime Channel on Freeview channel 40 has moved to channel 60 but when I click on 60 all I get is Loading Interactive Service then the screen goes blank can you help me please or send an engineer

@virginmedia really poor show all TV channels drop out just as the snooker semifinal is about to finish #freeview why not.

@Samantha_J_Rea Hmm not to sure about freeview but definitely freesat it’s been taken off for over a year. Probably the same though. Sucks big time. Anyway. Hope you are well.

@thedailymash My problem with the license fee is that there’s no way to block just the @BBC channels while keeping the other freeview channels that get none of the license fee! How is it fair that the BBC get all the fee but also get the right to stop me watching @ITV or @Channel4 etc!

@Allison79721704 @ThisisDavina @JillAshleyJone1 @BorisJohnson @10DowningStreet @38_degrees @BBC If BBC goes tits up I'd be quite satisfied with Freeview, radio and a sub to Dan Snow's "History Hit" - £5/mth I don't watch American "Reality" TV or soaps or Dumbed Down Game Shows I don't watch Sky Sports or Sky Film channels I'd love to stop paying Murdoch money every month

@FreeviewTV how can we watch these shows every time we retune our tele we lose channels pictures are more pixleated then when we first tuned our television in other words freeview is shit

can't believe since the @FreeviewTV tv retune on the 20th in the north west #winterhill @Forces_TV has gone missing can't get it on my bt or freeview now it was my favourite channel aswell might even cancel my @bt_uk now even though it was on freeview

@lukehastwatter I agree completely. I've cut down to freeview and netflix. Adding on disney plus will still be far cheaper for us. Just couldn't justify the cost of sky anymore.

@WeAreWST @hitmanholt @BetVictor Disgusted that it wasn't on Freeview. Refuse to pay for other channels. The @WeAreWST should support the BBC and ITV it is they that broadcast and supported it first.

@HideshPatel @virginmedia You need to read your t and. C and also it ws only a few hours it was down is that really the end of the world. Why not put freeview on Forbes an hour. Like normal ppl may have done as things go wrong have you never done a job wrong at work and put you back a few hours

Wtf is with the tv service, barely any channels working #freeview

@SandraHan62 @tmt1958 @timpy32001 @KurlyKrissy @ThisisDavina @BorisJohnson @10DowningStreet @38_degrees They're referring to the other terrestrial channels. They've nothing to do with the BBC but u need a license to watch them. Freeview it isn't. Once BBC is a subs service then we'll see how valued their content really is. They could have a global audience earning them way more.

@nikkijfox "Subscription model" is a total red herring anyway, impossible to achieve on Freeview/Freesat without £billions of hardware junked/repurchased to support encryption model or compulsory streaming via broadband (more £). It's the BBC-basher's unachievable *********
