    @jamesdeeganMC @BBC Agreed. To add insult to this we keep losing the digital signal on a regular basis on freeview so keep missing out on watching programmes.

  • Nicolosobell27 Nicola R. 🎶🐰💙x (@Nicolosobell27) reported

    ...it hasn't helped. Our transmitter is Bilsdale (where there has previously been a fire) but all freeview support we go on says we should be receiving 140 channels. Any ideas? #freeview #BBC1

    @PCarmichaelVO @NadineDorries BBC does not own / fund Freeview network. Public subsidy of minority programming should continue but does not require a licence fee tax. BBC does not need to be for profit but no-one should be forced to buy its generally poor mainstream programming.

    @MattWWoolwich The BBC is already garbage, as is most of Freeview.

    @MrTrevMcCarthy @DaveHogg2 @LeeJBBC I don't need the BBC if I break my leg. We generally all go to school - some pay twice if they go private. Freeview exists. How on Earth can you comment about an affordable service - how many other countries force payment to turn on your TV?

    @Fionasstalker Why not list all the services from ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5 and the numerous free services on freeview. At worst the same quality but IMO better than bbc offerings

  • 85Aston Aston (@85Aston) reported

    @PCarmichaelVO Is the Freeview network the BBC as well? I thought that was Arqiva

  • SteveMillman Steve Millman (@SteveMillman) reported

    @GizmoWalpole @sima_kotecha @lewis_goodall So the end of BBC education programmes. Along with lots of the other non profit making services cos we’ll be left with only the popular stuff - about right for a populist government. Plus, who is then paying for the Freeview network. It works because of the way it is funded

  • timrollpickerin Tim Roll-Pickering (@timrollpickerin) reported

    I'd feel a lot more positive about the @BBC if it sorted out its @Freeview signal here so that it doesn't become unwatchable when it gets a bit hot. And no @FreeviewAdvice it's not about retuning sets, it's about transmitting on part of the band the transmitter is optimised for.

    @c_newman2010 @ruskin147 Be interested in knowing how that works since would not work over freeview and means set-top box or app on tv needed and this will impact the elderly and poor most. Knock on effect cost to run freeview for itv/c4 increases meaning likely to go subscription too
