    Ok, Peanut Gallery, what is a decent news/current events show available on Freeview that I can watch for 15 minutes in the morning before work with my cereal? I can't do Piers Morgan, and BBC Breakfast IS pretty poor, I'll admit.

    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.

  • gsydom Dominic Wheatley (@gsydom) reported

    @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.

  • macmeonly buggrit (@macmeonly) reported

    @PCarmichaelVO @NadineDorries They don't maintain the freeview network. It's a joint enterprise with ITV and Chanel 4. Plus it makes money from adverts.

  • 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

  • coldgooseberry Aℓexªnder (@coldgooseberry) reported

    not. The services aren't even comparable. The BBC provides content across terrestrial TV, radio, the internet, iPlayer, and BBC Studios create programmes for other media companies too. In addition to that they maintain the Freeview network, which is almost certainly... [cont]

  • IanTrem Ian Trembirth (@IanTrem) reported

    @peacekpr79 @davidschneider The BBC also pays for the Freeview network of transmitters, the way a lot of viewers still get their TV signal.

  • MikeAyriss Mike Ayriss (@MikeAyriss) reported

    @PCarmichaelVO @PumaBare A review of funding could, for example look at maintaining Freeview network by all broadcasters that use it paying a fee. Incidentally, how much should the BBC be providing? It's channels have proliferated. Personally, I don't mind the licence fee but I'd support a full review.

  • FabBuxy Buxy (@FabBuxy) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I haven’t had any freeview digital TV since the #bilsdale #mast fire. Yesterday & this morning freeview was working - now no service again.

  • PCarmichaelVO Paul Carmichael (@PCarmichaelVO) reported

    @thenoikz @NadineDorries The problem is the services rhe provide that the disabled would have nothing without, the educational resources schools wouldn’t have, the fact that Freeview transmitters wouldn’t be maintained and the lack of Welsh/Gaelic language services. All “not your problem” though, eh?

  • timrollpickerin Tim Roll-Pickering (@timrollpickerin) reported

    @Mark0Connell @Paul_Burgin Here's a suggestion that will make the @BBC more popular here: Sort out the Freeview signal so it's watchable in hot weather. Here in London the signal is terrible to non existent at the height of summer. Alternatively make the BBC issue refunds for services not delivered.
