@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

@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.

@stevieboywise If that’s Freeview maybe due to high pressure issue again.

@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.

@bt_uk Thanks for the help. I spoke to freeview, tried a few things which didn't work but i contacted your TV help and after doing a few basic things somehow it appears to be working now! Very Strange. Tks

@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.

@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 👍

@FreeviewAdvice hi there. Please see DMs sent to Freeview account asking for support with channels that don't show (weird D sign with \ on it next to them) including Sky News, Pick and others. Many thanks

@SpergenFlergen @bbcpress BBC pays to maintain the Freeview network as part of the licence fee.

@FhilipGreen @notwillyoung86 @krishgm So there isn't 4k output via terrestrial television in the UK. Raise that with Freeview. Which is a private company, by the way. I'm looking forward to you moaning about ITV having the same problem? Sky output in 4k is minimal also.

@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

@JuliaHB1 You fail to mention the BBC also contribute to both Broadband and Freeview. I suppose you never use them either ? All for 43p a day 👍

@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.

Tweeters saying #BBCLicenceFee helping maintaining #Freeview. Well come to Teesside and we'll show you how it doesn't maintain Jack ****. Our Blisdale Transmitter burnt down August 10th 2021 & we've only this month got patchy service some still have zero. Maintained my arse

@Life_Disrupted + it wouldn't be free Only practical way to do subscription service is Broadband. New broadband connection for a lot of elderly £25/month Subscription min £7/month New smart TV £200 or Freeview play box £100 Helpline to help elderly navigate all those menus + new tech £1 Bn/yr

@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.

@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.

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.
