TikTok's latest trend is based on Adult Swim and the channel titles or whatever and... I grew up with Freeview television. I have no idea what's going on. I'm so lost. This is nearly as bad as when I tried to watch Phineas & Ferb with people and had no idea what was happening.

@SuperRetroid @jonesthescribe @MrTom Fair point. :) And in fairness, I have never had to use an internal Freeview in a telly in over 14 years. I always thought they'd use the aerial, not the leftover debris from Sky.

@nowtvhelp It’s ok they’ll tell to do the exact same things I’ve done already. It’s working now but for how long. And your live chat very rarely works. Or there’s a long wait to speak to someone. When the passes are finished I’ll just cancel and stick to freeview amazon prime and Netflix

@ali_king Now I feel like I should check the 365 Travel channel on Freeview again to see if they’re still advertising cruises that never happened

@AudsDisease @SkyNews Do you listen to the radio? Or perhaps watch Freeview? The BBC help maintain the Freeview network.

@PCarmichaelVO @NadineDorries If you want Welsh language programming pay for it yourself. The BBC's educational output is dumbed down drivel. Freeview is an obsolete technology which ties up bandwidth to show Dave Ja Vu.

@SpergenFlergen @bbcpress Doesn’t the license fee go towards maintaining the Freeview signal stream? So 5 of the things you mention there indirectly benefit from license fee payments as they couldn’t be broadcast without the digital signal.

Meh..
(@MattSnarky) reported
@Scrumpydude1 @jamiebglover How do you think the broadcast network that Freeview runs on gets paid for? All those transmitters that still need to be operated and maintained?

@ZoeJardiniere @FreeviewTV in the UK is saved until 2037, @NadineDorries has to scrap the freeview/BBC at the same time, this is like immigration, solution to immigration is short term visas for unfortunate refugees into the UK

@MartinSLewis Alternatives to the TV licence were looked at a few years ago. I was told Freeview will shut down in a few years. How would we handle a COVID outbreak without a national broadcaster and only Internet/Cable subs? What happens to the stuff BBC runs under the hood?

@stephenashman13 @RevRichardColes @SteveBreave If you don't consume over the air broadcasts then you don't have to pay for it. That includes Freeview, FreeSat. You could watch maybe 60% online (a guess), but it would be a pretty horrible experience.

@rec777777 @SusanHu25307477 @NadineDorries Unfortunately it’s not straight forward. Anyone that uses Freeview (ITV - Ch4 etc ) it’s all accessible on the free to air model. BBCs WOKEness is coming from further down the line. Indoctrination at school and through University they take this on into the workplace
