  • RobKerr32 Rob Kerr - I'm NOT a Robot (@RobKerr32) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @traceyfromrasen @Kavismate @SkySportsRacing @RacingTV My Freeview signal can be hopeless at best even connected to Wi-fi but the HDMI/laptop combo works well when the cat isn’t jumping on it !

  • themib Martin Bentley, AKA Martin Bentley (@themib) reported from London, England

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

    @CAA_Official Most of the defund the BBC tossers would happily cite "Only fools & horses" as their favourite comedy. They also seem to fail to recognise the Freeview channels they watch and it's infrastructure are provided in part by the BBC whilst they are sat watching BBC repeats on 'Dave'

    @JuliaHB1 I'm down to the weather at 5 to the hour, @RealKenBruce, odd Rugby match live, the rest on Freeview. No BT Sky etc

    @EdwardJDavey @Aiannucci If the BBC is great, it will have no trouble getting subscribers, what are you afraid of? Why force say pensioners or the poor to pay a regressive tax? They may be happy with FreeView, why should they be forced into paying for the BBC if they don't want it?

  • mecafolidas Mark Foley (@mecafolidas) reported

    @MahyarTousi Do tell how you are going to move it to a subscription & how long that'd take? Freeview isn't compatible, broadband not in all parts of the UK etc etc. Radio? Only potential solution is advertising - huge hit to ITV etc. Note: Gov & BBC Trust blocked iPlayer expansion/sub in '09.

  • gildy61 Random Jottings of Gildersleeve (@gildy61) reported

    @MrJohnNicolson @theSNP discussed how Sky would affect broadcasting in the UK. And he was fearful of Murdoch's influence. It killed off the original BSB idea with the little satellite dishes. A mini network of ITV channels though technically the latter sort've returned using Freeview/Sky's platform.

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    @JuliaHB1 So often disagree with you but not on this one, from August 10th 2021 til Jan 5th 2022 we had no FREEVIEW services due to transmitter fire so had ZERO channels of any network for over 4 months, imagine such a third world country we are for infrastructure. Obviously sensible 1/2

  • ChrisLew300 🅲🅷🆁🅸🆂 (@ChrisLew300) reported

    @jamiebglover When ITV had the DVB franchise, OnDigital they charged a subscription fee to use it. When it failed the BBC took it over and GAVE us Freeview and they continue to maintain the transmitter network. This also allowed the government to sell off the analog frequencues for mobiles.

  • spurlswood Andrew (@spurlswood) reported

    @Paul_Briley @jongreydavies @LDNCalling How do you make radio and freeview TV a subscription service?

  • Paulmh5 Paul Hughes (@Paulmh5) reported

    @RussInCheshire These set of stats don't even cover that the licence fee pays in to support the infrastructure to deliver the "other channels" including broadband roll-outs as well as being a founding force behind Freeview. #SaveOurBBC
