    @mrchrisaddison You can say all that and yet most people have actually stopped using "freeview" to pay for other channels. Kids ditch cbbc the second they have cartoon network, Disney and nickelodeon. Adults do the same too for other things. They like the choice.

  • nichols_tim Lord Worzel Binbag of Custard, Esq. (@nichols_tim) reported

    @nicholsonprop @DavidPoulden Then you and your GBeebie chums can freeload off the rest of us. Who do you thinks pays for the Freeview service GBeebies transmits on?

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    I'd be surprised if a new weekly TV magazine launched. Although I guess it's possible, maybe one just providing listings for Freeview? Of course, not only would this depend on gaining readers, pricing would also be an issue.

    @NHSuk @bbchealth People should not have to 'Search, better health NHS' on Freeview. The BBC should provide a 24 hour channel especially for people with poor access to the Internet & who work long hours. The UK could have uniform, consistent, upto date, World standard information

    @lastminutelin If you are still experiencing problems you will need to speak to the Freeview helpline as the retune should have been all that was needed. Freeview advice line on 03456 505050

    @GMB @GCGodfrey I have 2 pieces of good advice, cancel expensive Sky subscriptions and Mobil contracts, change to Freeview and pay as you go.

    I’ve tried to set up my mum’s new Freeview box and it’s not working. I suspect it’s me not the box. Everything online about it brushes over it in a way that suggests only the very stupid wouldn’t know how to do it.

    @FreeviewTV Hi George, can't find DM (direct email) on freeview website help & support. For my postcode said that there is works in area. Returned now but smart TV is still no and freeview box is OK.

    @BBCThree One word. Shallow. Pandering to 'yoof' never works. To think 3 used to have great science and factual shows. Now look. And cramming it back on has messed up my freeview big time, so thanks for that BBC, never seem to get it right these days. #bbc3

    @virginmedia I got through eventually but now I have a new problem!! Loads of channels have disappeared. There should be no changes to my package. I’m effectively paying Virgin to supply me with Freeview! What’s going on?
