Paul Williams✈️ (@PaulW_1) reported from Sale, England@BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

Tom H (@TomHLon) reported@fin_lay24 @OldRoberts953 Nice article, Finlay! Incidentally, I can't help thinking there was more choice and variety when it was just "four boring old channels" than when freeview came along and it became all UK That's Great Drama Yesterday +1.

Julie (@Julie2424355376) reported@YouAreAWally @right_far_right Never bought an avocado and we only have Freeview which I'm understanding will disappear soon. One thing I am though is clean, I make my own washing up liquid and washing liquid for clothes. Shower every day with soap and home made shampoo. So off with your stupid assumptions.
-
Sam (@samazas) reported@rizzles066 @NotFarLeftAtAll Water and tv bills are the different things. This outdated laws about tv license are causing all those problems. Nowadays not many people still watch BBC or other freeview chanel. People browsing on the internet for news or watching YouTube…
-
RednalNut (@RednalNut) reportedThe BBC freeview digital signal is so bad in Devon Pixilated on & off then a complete loss during the England game? All other channels bar BBC2 worked fine. Had to watch on the laggy BBCi player that was also problematic. I paid for this service. Piss poor service.
-
BENEFITS NEWS (@BENEFITS_NEWS) reportedThe problems with planning to switch Freeview off: Many people still watch Freeview. Internet drops out or you get the 'circle of doom' and freezing BBC iPlayer when trying to watch something! Not everyone has or wants internet / wifi / data.
-
nick renshaw (@nickrenshaw5) reported@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?

Winston Marshall (@MrWinMarshall) reportedDystopian. The UK gov paper for alternative and social media censorship in the name of protecting “trustworthy” news platforms makes for chilling reading. Lisa Nandy’s Dep for culture, media and sport’s censorial propositions are yet another attempt to protect the establishment from the people. Read it for yourself - “People are increasingly accessing news online, rather than through more regulated spaces like Freeview on their TV sets. This is weakening the ability of trustworthy news providers to reach audiences and shape informed public debate.” The word “trustworthy” here is Orwellian. They mean by it news acceptable to the regime. Mainstream media is not trustworthy in the eyes of the public, for good reason. “Overall trust in UK news has dropped, and only 45% of adults feel confident judging whether a source is truthful. This rise in untrustworthy news and corresponding decline in trust in news pose a risk to the public’s ability to access accurate information.” This is the fault of mainstream media. They have been blatantly biased for decades. The response to the rise in alternative media is for MSM to try and become more truthful, less biased, and honest to the public AND THEMSELVES about their bias. And certainly NOT to censor or throttle alternative media. “[Social media] makes it more difficult for trustworthy news providers to find, maintain and monetise an audience, with repercussions for the commercial viability of public interest journalism.” I.e. regime interest journalism If mainstream media is to be saved it needs to drastically improve its product, and focus on youtube and social media as outlets, it needs to adapt to the media market not try and make the media market adapt to them. How is it that they are so lacking in self-awareness? Ultimately this is a war they can’t win. The question is - how long will it go on. And what damage will be done along the way.

Liarpoliticians, UK has rogue Parliament+police (@liarpoliticianz) reported@Osprey0 @SkyNews Yes, GB News WAS in HD on Freeview, but the paedophiles in @OfCom decided to erase five HD TV channels, for garbage 5G mobile phones. The channels are still in HD on satellite, a cheapo sat box, sub £100 dish, and decent cable, and you can have it all so long as dish south facing
