  @MrCoolHandLuke @PairoMayniaq @Telegraph Much of the country can't and will never get Freeview or full fibre broadband. In future it will be the same with 4G and 5G and whatever comes next.

  Nooooo just lost our TV signal in the middle of @TheRepairShop Christmas programme. Freeview signal out across much of Cambs but until this minute we'd been ok. Thank heavens for iPlayer so we can see the rest later.

  @TheStingisBack Last time I saw this film (Time After Time 1979) was in 1990's. Never shown on Freeview channels since then unfortunately!

  @GBNEWS Problem is Freely isn't free.... You need a broadband connection costing you tens of pounds per month. Where as Freeview and Freesat are actually free to view.

  There's an interesting problem here. Switching off Freeview would make spectrum available for 5/6G, but at the (enormous) cost of putting all that bandwidth on existing connections. Not least all the perfectly good non-smart TVs that would become E-waste overnight.

  @internetplague It was SUCH a big issue for me. Spent a lot of time fretting about it. Joined many ‘If this page gets 1 million likes, Sky Sports must keep SSN on Freeview’ pages.

  @LillacTyanu @Selene_Mariposa “BBC is put on all TVs via freeview by default” WTF are you talking about??

  @KarenGr58411658 @DailyMail All paid for with the licence fee, the government does not fund TV transmission infrastructure, this is controlled and operated by the BBC. No BBC, No transmission network, no Freeview. This is why you have to pay the licence for all live TV.

  @RugbyBath Despite Prem Rugby saying it's ITV4, The Freeview planner is saying Chiefs V Sarries - i'd ask Prem Rugby, but they never reply!

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

  I hear that Live from The Apollo will end after its next run of shows. Shame that as I quite enjoyed it. The bbc say it’s down to low viewing figures and saving £. Problem is that the BBC allows multiple episodes to be repeated on Freeview/iplayer channels at regular intervals.
