@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.

@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 👍

@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.

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.

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

@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.

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 😂

@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

@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.

(@tashatam14) reported
@ConsPost @DrSpock_PhD Meanwhile those of us living in older (and new) rural properties have broadband little faster than dial-up and no prospect of anything better as Openreach are too busy servicing newbuild estates. See also poor water pressure, many power cuts, lack of mobile signal, no freeview

@aboveeg By ghosting you mean that shadowy effect there used to be on the old analogue signals years ago? Digital signal seems different ... just breaks up / buffers/ whatever they call it. Its so bad this evening have nothing watchable. We're not on Sky, just Freeview: nothing working.

@FreeviewTV so it’s down yet again. It’s 2021, can we really not have a signal when the air pressure is high? Try dealing with someone with Dementia who can’t use iPlayer etc. I’m bloody fuming. We didn’t have this problem with analogue TV. It’s a **** show. #freeview

@chasnbons @FreeviewTV Hi Phil, I am so very sorry to learn you are experiencing issues with your Freeview reception. High pressure has been present for a few days and hopefully will move on soon. If you have retuned, you will have to retune again once the weather changes. Thank you, Melissa

(@scott_eff) reported
@jodimullen I suppose it would be a frankly huge pain in the *** to replace all those ordinary Freeview boxes/in-builds to re-standardise new codecs and data delivery to increase resolution/quality. MPEG-2 really is showing its age on some of these data-starved channels.
