    @dancludlow Never thought of it even. Not that worried, there'll be a solution. It supposedly has Freesat & Freeview on it. Will have to try to get D's son out here, if he ever stays still, he'll know! TV is 2020 model, hardly top of the range but good enough for me.

    @GBNews Bad news: I hear that those of us in rural areas who receive our Freeview signal from relay transmitters will not be able to view GBNews.

    @lbc the bbc Is a good thing if it needs a new funding model it should be general taxation like every other public service. Subscription won't work because of freeview and also the radio networks can't go on subscription either

  • DarrenHindle1 Darren Hindle (@DarrenHindle1) reported

    @virginmedia Really? I hadn't considered that. My issue isn't my services being cut its the fact you make Freeview unwatchable it's a shits trick and is nothing but spite it's not like it goes away after 5 minutes I have to record what I want to watch to avoid the bloody thing

    Can you get battery powered freeview TVs? I don't mean rechargeable batteries, but ones where you stick a few AAs in? I had an analogue one but never seen a digital version. I'm not getting much luck with Google. All I'm finding is plug or rechargable powered.

    @WinterfellT Whatever anyone’s views of the bbc, no one should have to pay the corporation a compulsory tax for the right to watch live tv, especially live tv on non bbc channels. It’s time for the bbc to become either a commercial freeview, or subscription, service.

    @speshmagiclady I wish we had foreign language TV on Freeview to help people get over their apathy around other languages - British people would be much more engaged with learning if the words were passively around them and they could just dip into watching a telenovela or something.

    before i moved away a few weeks ago, i asked my grandad if he could fix my tv remote. since then, he’s done that, and also fixed my aerial, tv stand, and freeview without me even mentioning .. john why are u the kindest soul i know pls stop before i CRY

  • CEEGEE12 Carole Geddes (@CEEGEE12) reported

    @Oldbird19 We don't have the full service for freeview in my area so can't check with anyone locally

  • brundellfilimou Mike Benjamin (@brundellfilimou) reported

    @talkRADIO @mrmarkdolan The alternative funding. A wholly subscription model can’t be applied to radio and there is no UK news service not on freeview. So you could phase out the licence fee over and allow the BBC to compete for adv and sponsorship. I bet that will go down well with News Corp.

    @kisekinasuteki Ah so that's what it was. Sucks because I don't even know if I can follow the race live since it isn't on Freeview nowadays. :/
