  • LILBUBBLE1 Bu88ble (@LILBUBBLE1) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @FreeviewAdvice I’ve been experiencing a lot of poor quality imaging/interruptions of my freeview in my area, Chingford, London. Also I’ve been able to DM you and I’m not sure why the system is not enabling it. It doesn’t bring up your company when I try

  • 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.

  • Dante_Banks Danté Banks (@Dante_Banks) reported from Tottenham, England

    @tinytwink The poor shouldn't have anything they have to work for. Big screen TV - nope. Netflix - what's wrong with Freeview? Mobile phone - can't they walk to the phone box on the corner that was disconnected five years ago. They think if you're poor you should suffer or not be poor.

  • 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.

  • 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 😂

  • brundellfilimou Mike Benjamin (@brundellfilimou) reported

    @Garnhiem_ @talkRADIO The issue that most people have is with the news programmes. There are no subscription only news TV stations in the Uk. Even sky news is free on freeview. It is also not an option for radio stations.

  • PabloBonzo Pablo's Vault of Horror (@PabloBonzo) reported

    The scariest thing about the BBC & Freeview trending is all the awful GBNews related tweets & clips in those topics. We need the BBC, without it or with whatever it becomes under Dorries poorly thought out "plan" we'll end up with more sensationalist tabloid nonsense like GBNEWS.

  • Purple43213287 Purple (@Purple43213287) reported

    @andrew_wauchope @guardian So you don't think disability programming is a vital service? What about the freeview network?

  • brundellfilimou Mike Benjamin (@brundellfilimou) reported

    @talkRADIO The ignorance surrounding the model for the bbc is astounding. The biggest issue people have seems to be with bbc news. There is no news stations in the uk that are subscription only, even sky news is on freeview. In addition it is not technically possible for radio stations

  • VModifiedMind Vince (@VModifiedMind) reported

    @iandeeley @peterson_joey @reckless Freeview is awful yes, as is DAB.

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie (@Brekkietweets) reported

    @ledredman @jeremybear123 @JolyonMaugham There is a false narrative that Freeview can be phased out. Anyone who has watched anything live on Amazon or ITV Hub can tell you internet broadcasting is not up to scratch. Selling spectrum so people can watch shows on phones at expense of watching in HD on TV is just stupid.

  • EastLight EastLight (@EastLight) reported

    @CaptainThunk @DefundBBC They could encrypt the signal and make it subscription-based, since every Freeview TV has a card slot (CAM) on the rear for that very purpose. BT Sport used it for a while - no issues. But the BBC always lies and says it isn't possible, and everyone just takes them at their word.

  • willlsben Ben (@willlsben) reported

    @SPENCE_JOHN @zsk Because if they really are so poor (let's assume) they will be watching freeview, who do you expect to pay for the massive infrastructure. Why would a private company pay for it when they would get nothing back, as its "free" "viewing"

  • chrisbardell Chris Bardell (@chrisbardell) reported

    @Turnip_Of_Doom @JoshHarris91 @davidschneider Yep, ITV/C4/C5 will never be able to pay for the entire running cost of Freeview. So it’ll close and they’ll go subscription-only.

  • JoshHarris91 Josh Harris (@JoshHarris91) reported

    @chrisbardell @davidschneider If you use a subscription service ie Sky/Virgin then the licence fee should be optional until you want BBC added to your plan (then you pay the fee). If you watch freeview then you pay the licence fee as it’s funding the service you use. Just give people the choice.
