  • johnworthy27 john worthington (@johnworthy27) reported from Preston, England

    @chloesammike @andywigmore @KayBurley Don't worry you can still get Sky news on channel 132 on your Freeview box. Thick ****.....

  • iainsykes2014 Iain Sykes (@iainsykes2014) reported from Blackburn, England

    @KarmaUnc @GMB @joshwiddicombe Yes, but the BBC is a significant contributor to Arquiva who own the masts. They also support Freeview and Freesat.

  • richard__webb Richard Webb (@richard__webb) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @GBNEWS i was so looking forward to it. But… on freeview the picture quality is really poor, sound is out of sync, and just feels like the sets are dark and badly lit. Took my focus away from listening to whats being projected. #GBNews

    @bbchealth BBC could be a service reaching out 24/7 to include the people who work long, late hours and have poor access to the Internet. Instead we have a mental diet of murder killings and sad repeats. Freeview is failing in its remit to educate and inform. You could have an NHS channel?

  • sazenrose Sarah Gerrard (@sazenrose) reported

    After 3 attempts (partly due to Freeview issues 🙄) I have finally got to the end of #StarTrekVoyager. 🥳 Gonna miss my dose of Delta Quadrant Trek.

  • WearsideWorrier Christopher Beard (@WearsideWorrier) reported

    @Forces_TV hi, is there an issue with Freeview signal in Sunderland area. Can no longer receive it via the freeview TV or BT box on 96. Missing my fix of cult TV.

  • PhilNTebb Philip (@PhilNTebb) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV Interesting, is that mandated by Freeview or was there a functional incentive to move down the band?

  • BrianMLeahy1 Brian M. Leahy (@BrianMLeahy1) reported

    I have contempt for Freeview which expanded tonight when I switched to the Drama Chanel to watch what I thought would be a new "The Last Detective". True to form Freeview, this incompetent producer of rubbish TV was putting out yet another repeat. Close Freeview Down.

  • GregHallsworth Greg Hallsworth (@GregHallsworth) reported

    @rogermosey I fear those advocating a subscription model would be happy to see Freeview shut down 😢

  • PCarmichaelVO Paul Carmichael (@PCarmichaelVO) reported

    @d0hertyry4n @TomRafferty4 Well of course it isn’t. Yes. You said on your other tweet that you think only Freeview viewers (the elderly and poor) should pay. 👍

  • ericdn627 Eric Norton (@ericdn627) reported

    @ParodyFPL @TransponderTV I'm sure nothing, other than a removal of channels as the BBC shuts them down or otherwise makes them unavailable on Freeview, which appears inevitable.

  • raymondwillia11 dr osborne beeching (@raymondwillia11) reported

    @ken_brittain @redroofbraemar hundreds of free channels for free thousands on you tube why pay £159 for BBC and 70 crap Freeview channels then can view catch-up without licence?

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie (@Brekkietweets) reported

    Odd to give S4C the BBC3 HD slot on Freeview now BBC3 is coming back when they could have had it after 7pm since 2016 (as BBC Scotland does). Not the long term solution though - but seems to be no long term plans at all for HD on @FreeviewTV with another HD mux will close soon.
