  • mooseandme1 Moose And Me (@mooseandme1) reported from Great Harwood, England

    @Ossyref I know but it’s not on Freeview. Not everyone has YouTube for TV or ability to watch on app. We ok as have Virgin but it’s still crap they ain’t showing it for others.

    @chloesammike @andywigmore @KayBurley Don't worry you can still get Sky news on channel 132 on your Freeview box. Thick ****.....

    @DaveOufc They could do it like Freeview - core channels are free, then you can choose to pay for add-ons. All this tech exists, they've just never had to consider it before

  • ETusty Emma T (@ETusty) reported

    We have freeview signal this evening. Yay. The only downside is that when there's no signal I get to control the remote and choose the channel because the OH has no idea how to get on iplayer, netflix or prime. He'd spend about an hour just finding something to watch

  • merseymale PRIME RADIO LIVERPOOL (@merseymale) reported

    I have to watch @ITVWales due to my freeview not working #tippingpoint

  • thatfoxxybloke David Foxx (@thatfoxxybloke) reported

    @tomdesborough87 @Monkeymanb0b They don’t have too. They can remain on the freeview platform which has 4 stake holders. Losing one wouldn’t end the free service.

  • _chalkie_ Graham White (@_chalkie_) reported

    @jamiebglover You also get Freeview and Freesat, S4C, and the fibre broadband rollout, the latter being a less spoken of contribution from the licence fee, which benefits all the streaming service providers at no cost to them.

    @PhilJam50063624 Hi Phil, I am sorry to hear that you are having issue with your Freeview reception. So we can look into this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • jonwensley Jon Wensley (@jonwensley) reported

    How would you, technically, make a TV service through an aerial work as a subscription service? Would you make people pay for a Sky/Virgin box to enable them to receive a BBC subscription service? What about the 10 million Freeview users and 1.5m people without internet access?

    @Ojosblue Hi, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview reception. So we can look into this further for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • GiannaMarriotta Celeste (@GiannaMarriotta) reported

    @GBNEWS Would like to say to silly people saying "ah yes but poor people will have to pay for subscription service if BBC gives them back their £159" No, I NEVER watch BBC cannot stand it yet have to pay. Happy with 5 Freeview channels: GB News, Talking Pictures, Horror, Blaze, Sky Arts.

    @TheLordMidge @5h4k35p34r31 @guardian Amongst other routes there are plenty of freeview/sat boxes that allow access to the android App Store allowing that service to be used on a freeview certified box. It is the major funder and essentially saved the system from commercial demise.
