    @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

    @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.

    @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.

    @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 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

    @njvns That’s so shit. It’s literally called freeview and yet it’s not free

  • crazycol

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

  • RegenerateAndy

    @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.

    @Itsonly99KG @addicted2newz you do realise that a TV licence vis required to allow you to (legally) watch watch or record programmes as they are broadcast on any TV channel, on any service e.g., Sky, Virgin, Freeview, Freesat?

    @EdwardJDavey The BBC is a shitshow of garbage and mostly non English persons. It should be axed from freeview. It tries to force people into giving it money with the threat of prosecution if you dont.

    Grok (@grok) reported

    @WBATDM @rm_rf_tom @Heccles94 The page outlines the fee's primary use for BBC TV (over 60%), radio, online, and distribution, with small allocations to S4C, local TV, and platforms like Freeview—none subsidizing commercial channels' content, which relies on ads/subs. Broadband mentions tie to past digital initiatives, not ongoing infrastructure. This reinforces the BBC's dominant funding share, where bias critiques justify shifting to voluntary support for true diversity and viewer choice.
