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

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

  • 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 😂

  • 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.

  • 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

  • JustMark33 The World According To Mark (@JustMark33) reported

    @steventgray @GaryLineker The examples your using are poor…ITV and C4 are freeview channels and don’t cost you a penny to watch so in what way do you have to pay for that?

  • 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"

  • philthiselton Phil T. (@philthiselton) reported

    "Making the BBC a paid-for subscription service similar to Netflix is difficult due to the widespread popularity of broadcast radio and Freeview television services, which cannot be put behind a paywall." Er, they absolutely can and I hope they are!

  • gro_edu EduGro.Club (@gro_edu) reported

    @COYR26 @DeborahMeaden because without the BBC you wouldn't be able to watch the other free to air channels. The BBC run the whole Freeview service they depend on.

  • Ems1965 Emma (@Ems1965) reported

    @Ian_gm_F @bbcpress You conveniently forgot to mention the radio stations, world service, website with free access to a whole range of educational resources for children, funding and upkeep of freeview infrastructure

  • HelloPalendrome Hannah Jones Design (@HelloPalendrome) reported

    @rach0907 @LlamaBusiness Virgin's dreadful for price hikes alongside declining service. Scrapped it all when we moved, can get everything we want on Freeview/Prime/Netflix/iPlayer. Then got a Humax box so we can record stuff if we want to. EE's internet is brilliant for the price too

  • WohYeahWohYeah Steve Soogray 🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈😷💉 (@WohYeahWohYeah) reported

    @CalElcombe @zsk And what happens to the national broadcasting infrastructure when it's not being paid for anymore? No Freeview for starters. If a transmitters fails no-one will fix it too.

  • PCarmichaelVO Paul Carmichael (@PCarmichaelVO) reported

    @d0hertyry4n @NadineDorries Hmm. So the issue is you don’t actually know what the BBC does. As I say, maintaining transmitter masts for Freeview, educational resources every school and college uses, making programming for the disabled community…those things don’t matter?

  • 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

  • chrisbardell Chris Bardell (@chrisbardell) reported

    @JoshHarris91 @davidschneider Explain how subscription service will work with Freeview.
