  • digibell Christopher Bell (@digibell) reported from Bognor Regis, England

    @FreeviewTV Hi there, I’ve been having bad problems with Freeview reception over past few days in Bognor Regis PO21. Channels blocking and after retuning, no HD channels whatsoever

  • RoboJ1M RoboJ1M (@RoboJ1M) reported from Portsmouth, England

    @Sonic_Sinclair @bbcmicrobot Technically it is, there's support for it in DVB. There's several channels on DVB satellite that uses it, not sure there's any on freeview. Certainly all the original services shutdown or moved to MHEG. The BBC mheg service was incredible but that's shutdown now too 🙁

  • thedxmo damo 🎃 (@thedxmo) reported from Bognor Regis, England

    @tomster36 Netflix and Amazon I have a subscription to but to use other streaming apps on one device, I don’t have freeview because it’s shit just use streaming services now

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

  • carmadchris Chris (@carmadchris) reported from Hazlemere, England

    @LlamaBusiness @skytv Bailed on them last year, never looked back Unless you live in the sports channels, look at what you get for your £, then see what would be free on freeview/freesat & what is on other services like Netflix

  • steviexdavis stevied (@steviexdavis) reported

    @GBNEWS Needs to be. It's a disgrace we pay a licence fee not to watch the BBC but to watch all the other Freeview Channels. I never watch the BBC, so cancelled licence, now I Can't watch all the other channels.

  • JillCollier16 Jill Collier 🟥 (@JillCollier16) reported

    @tinternetqueen @VirginMediaCorp I have a mixture. Plusnet for broadband and landline, recently moved to Tesco for very basic mobile. Both great customer service. Only use freeview telly, though.

    @PCarmichaelVO @NadineDorries BBC does NOT maintain Freeview network. That is Arqiva. BBC in partnership with other PSB broadcasters own Freeview. They, like other broadcaster pay carriage charges to Arqiva.

  • DeusFoxy Post Brexit Foxy 🦊 (@DeusFoxy) reported

    @PCarmichaelVO @NadineDorries Because they'd still be state-owned and under a PSB. And those niche audiences will still get the ad-funded skeleton Freeview service, and ad-funded catch-up on iPlayer.

  • LRackstraw Luke Rackstraw (@LRackstraw) reported

    @williambecket @NadineDorries The cheapest Sky package I can find is £26 (which includes the "tax"-payer funded freeview service). Letting the BBC go commercial would mean that pensioners would save £13 a month but they wouldn't get any TV for that. So in effect you'd be doubling the cost for pensioners!

  • MrSaffron Andrew Ferguson OBE (@MrSaffron) reported

    @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

  • Gina_Moona Gina, Moona & Jet (@Gina_Moona) reported

    @Florenc00526929 We only have freeview but the TV transmitter burnt down Aug 21 and now the signal is very sketchy not due to be replaced until Aug 23 😒

  • JoeBlog21 Joe Bloggs (@JoeBlog21) reported

    @PCarmichaelVO @NadineDorries It doesn't maintain the Freeview transmitter network on its own ya liar!
