@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.

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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 👍

@TreeHouseBkshop I feel I'm missing out on this too, but I've always relied on Freeview. There's more TV than I can spend time watching, so I've never seen the point of paying for content I'll never get around to viewing - until now!

@MoneySavingExp SKY’s charges are ridiculous! Who watched 999 channels? You try to cancel 1 subscription but you can’t as you’re tied into another one; so you end up purchasing the whole package - it’s a rip off!! I’m currently researching into Freeview.@skytv

@NOWMusic Hey if you insist in having a music channel on Freeview can you please make sure the audio bitrate doesn’t sound garbage? The compression is painful

@PhilPhenom Latest tweet would imply their online service is not working this evening, as they only point people to the Red Button [Sky/Freesat 981, Freeview 601] instead of the usual "Red Button and iPlayer".

@BBCTeesSport Now wasn’t the time to realise that our Freeview still doesn’t work and we’re not in an area covered by any local radio signal at the moment 🙄

Obviously today they'd be issues anyway but generally speaking finding Freeview HD muxes far less resiliant than they used to be. As much as I think a switch to an HD/T2 only platform is long overdue I guess there are advantages to having the SD backup for the main chanenls.

@Webbo2306 I’ve sorted it. Didn’t pay for HD as most Freeview channels are already in HD. It’s just the Sky channels that you have to pay for and I don’t really watch them much. Works out I’m paying £15 a month extra on my internet, so not bad. 👍🏻
