  • PhilMcBoobs Philip McHale (@PhilMcBoobs) reported from Barnet, England

    @jonnyt78 Not at all. Was supposed to be awful except from some certain sections of the media. Some of the games were of freeview over here as well, I didn’t have a clue

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

  • nessymon Nessy 😷 (@nessymon) reported from London, England

    @MarketaDee @CNN Freeview has never worked for us for some reason.. will try again. Thanks.

  • themib Martin Bentley, AKA Martin Bentley (@themib) reported from London, England

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

  • carmadchris Chris (@carmadchris) reported from Hazlemere, England

    @LlamaBusiness @skytv Bailed on them last year, never looked back Unless you live in the sports channels, look at what you get for your £, then see what would be free on freeview/freesat & what is on other services like Netflix

  • psnow85 Peter Snow (@psnow85) reported from Arkley, England

    @Samantha_J_Rea Hmm not to sure about freeview but definitely freesat it’s been taken off for over a year. Probably the same though. Sucks big time. Anyway. Hope you are well.

    @Takethatjoe @darrengrimes_ Oh my god, how would our TV's ever work without Freeview 😱 After all,it's well known that in every other country where BBC-funded Freeview isn't available, TV broadcasting simply doesn't work.

  • lewismj_waioeka Michael Lewis (@lewismj_waioeka) reported

    @Aiannucci @Channel4 How is not forcing people to pay for a service they may not want 'coming for' ? What is your problem? A pensioner for example, may decide to save money and stick to Freeview. Why force them to pay for BBC. If BBC is great, then people will subscribe.

  • EastLight EastLight (@EastLight) reported

    @jamiebglover @CatsAreLoud You can't really defend the BBC's technical standards. They foisted Freeview upon us- the quality on SD channels has always been terrible- worse than VHS. Likewise DAB radio sounds poor, and BBC national FM radio still uses NICAM distribution- lossy compression of the 1970s kind.

  • brundellfilimou Mike Benjamin (@brundellfilimou) reported

    @talkRADIO @Iromg @BeccyRyan What a load of rubbish. How can you pay a subscription fee for radio services? There are no uk based news TV channels which are subscription, Sky is free on freeview. Allow the bbc to compete for ad and sponsorship on a phased basis while winding down the licence free.

  • YoshiJoshi_ 🦁 👑Yoshi Joshi ⭐️⭐️ (@YoshiJoshi_) reported

    @Garysonfire BBC Licence fee also go toward support for the Freeview network infrastructure

  • lewismj_waioeka Michael Lewis (@lewismj_waioeka) reported

    @GaryLineker @Aiannucci If the BBC is great, it will have no trouble getting subscribers, what are you afraid of? Why force say pensioners or the poor to pay a regressive tax? They may be happy with FreeView, why should they be forced into paying for the BBC if they don't want it?

  • aw_mckinley Andrew McKinley (@aw_mckinley) reported

    Sick of morons saying "I only use 3 BBC services, licence fee is not good value". But: you can only use one service at a time-your argument is invalid. If you use ONE service, you justify the license fee. Freeview is one such service. DAB is another. Even for non-BBC content.

  • BunniesBum Robb (@BunniesBum) reported

    @JuliaHB1 I'm down to the weather at 5 to the hour, @RealKenBruce, odd Rugby match live, the rest on Freeview. No BT Sky etc

  • MediaBoyUK Media Boy UK (@MediaBoyUK) reported

    Set to happen on Wednesday (Jan. 19th) on Freeview: -Ideal World moves from Channel 22 to Channel 50. -Paramount Network become 5Action on Channel 32. -TJC moves from Channel 50 to Channel 22.

  • OnlyAPrimate Δ (@OnlyAPrimate) reported

    @UKSpunkyMonkey @JustMark33 @GaryLineker Yes, that's because the BBC is non-excludable. Sky can turn your signal off very easily and do it all the time. How would the BBC stop you from listening to BBC Radio? Also most of the TV is on Freeview. I'm hearing lots of over-simplistic reasoning in this thread.
