  Not at all surprised to find that @itvx is a pile of rubbish. Not integrated into Freeview Play's TV guide, no Channel list in the app's UI, so using it for catch up is a pain in the neck. Didn't they do any usability tests? Unbelievably bad. That's if it loads... #itvx

  @FreeviewTV come on Freeview it's nearly 2020 not bloody 1920 sort the problem out.

  @fin_lay24 @OldRoberts953 Nice article, Finlay! Incidentally, I can't help thinking there was more choice and variety when it was just "four boring old channels" than when freeview came along and it became all UK That's Great Drama Yesterday +1.

  @NotFarLeftAtAll All part of controlling us. I don’t have TV packages only Freeview & my internet is bad so don’t watch much anyway, barely anything in summer. Unfair for the elderly.

  Precisely and if the BBC want to discontinue running the freeview service and save money on upkeep of the transmitters why do we have to pay the licence fee. If you decide to only watch non BBC live channels online which you pay for by having broadband then the licence is wrong.

  @BBC I hear that Freeview is being turned off at some point in the future. Well you will lose my payment for the TV licence as that's how I watch TV & if you get rid then I won't be able to watch & I'll cancel my licence. Not a very clever decision to make is it?

  @jimthegiant To be fair switching off Freeview is a bad policy.

  @DanielHussey2 Dont think it would be good having Down Fermanagh on RTE news channel. It has limited coverage in the north . It's not on Freeview or cable or satliight in the north and saorview is limited in Co Down due to morne mountain shadow. Not the promotion the Tailteann cup was promised

  I have never missed watching terrestrial TV, it won't be a big leap to also cancel Freeview. I'll just read even more.

It remains on Freeview (for now) but is said to be suffering financial problems.

  @UKLabour I'd say there are enough channels on Freeview for the open university to train up the people we need for #NHS etc. foreign pupils could enrol and pay for registration. it could even support advertising and be used similar to the bbc overses broadcasts in WWII
