    @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 !

    @MetroUK Close down loads of channels that isn't important and keep the ones going why have we got loads of pointless channels on freeview Freesat Virgin and sky

    @jaygrocott29 @DoctorWhoPN Wrong. The public service broadcasters are all gifted their spectrum and their advantageous position on the Freeview EPG. Road tax was abolished in 1937. Road building and maintenance is paid by general taxation. Revenue from VED just goes into the chancellor’s pot.

    @NotFarLeftAtAll All part of controlling us. I don’t have TV packages only Freeview & my internet is bad so don’t watch much anyway, barely anything in summer. Unfair for the elderly.

    @JudeNicho @cyclingontnt This... I struggle to watch it in Freeview as the sd pic is awful. Discovery+ seems to have deleted my free account so I could watch the b highlights of giro etc on dmax/quest they had (in HD) And they'll wonder why viewership will rank this year.. 🤷🏻

    @WhichUK For live events, internet speed isn’t everything. For reliability and lowest delay, broadcast TV still wins: Freeview, satellite or cable. Fibre streaming is great but usually behind “live”. 5G/4G/Starlink can work well, but depend more on signal, congestion and load.

    @BBC I hear that Freeview is being turned off at some point in the future. Well you will lose my payment for the TV licence as that's how I watch TV & if you get rid then I won't be able to watch & I'll cancel my licence. Not a very clever decision to make is it?

    @Benleo @virginmedia Cancel it & stop your DD. Get a freeview mini box & pay for Disney

    @TimFost2561 So if you cancel the license, you also can't access other freeview stuff, or am I completely off-base there?
