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.

Iain Sykes (@iainsykes2014) reported from Blackburn, England@KarmaUnc @GMB @joshwiddicombe Yes, but the BBC is a significant contributor to Arquiva who own the masts. They also support Freeview and Freesat.

jason_mi7 (@Mi7Jason) reported@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.

🇺🇦Tazfaedodge 🏴🇮🇪🇺🇦PS (@tazfaedodge) reported@BigFuzzyYak It can have some good stuff on it. After dinner time, Morning TV is crap. And right now I think they have most of the World Cup Football games on. But most of daytime TV on all channels are crap, unless you go to the freeview or even Sky.

Random Noob (TeK✨) (@RandomNoobYT) reported@KarenGr58411658 @DailyMail All paid for with the licence fee, the government does not fund TV transmission infrastructure, this is controlled and operated by the BBC. No BBC, No transmission network, no Freeview. This is why you have to pay the licence for all live TV.
-
Brian Newcombe (@BrianBnew) reported@MrSugden2 I have never subscribed to any TV packages. It's all Freeview for me (though I understand they're planning to switch it off sometime...)
-
George (The UK Action Team) (@UKAT_George) reportedPrecisely and if the BBC want to discontinue running the freeview service and save money on upkeep of the transmitters why do we have to pay the licence fee. If you decide to only watch non BBC live channels online which you pay for by having broadband then the licence is wrong.
-
Rob (@MrSugden2) reported@Guyz20051 It's good. There are a more channels than Freeview but, unless you're into obscure topics, you'll never watch them.
-
Velvettoatone (@TeamMPTS1) reportedAnother stupid idea is the 2034 plan to turn off Freeview. In no way will rural broadband be up to providing reliable services by then..the same applies to FM/MW radio. It's ridiculous meanness dressed up as 'progress' @SarahChampionMP @KarlTurnerMP @lukeakehurst

Jeremy Robson 🏍️🐶 (@JemRobson01) reportedLabour **** ups w/e 5/7/26 Plan to end freeview Burnham on the ropes about the cost of his living 'up north' Teachers get 17% pat rise since election Still no chancellor announced Labour admit they were not prepared 1900 less teachers than 2025

Gary Phillips (@gazpunch) reported@Hadders41183 @Lost_In_Films_ I’ve still got that’s Tv 2 on Freeview, (65) watching Never mind your language now, well just this minute finished. Gutted if that’s going now 😢

Popeye (@PopeyeFreeview) reportedFreeview channel 71 That's Memories & That's TV 3 & That's 20th Century That's Memories issued Freeview PSB2 operates agreement licence in June 2024. Has that ran out? If it has ran out That's Media has to pay Everyone TV Millions of pounds. Everyone TV who runs and maintained the service. The dark side of Everyone TV theses people who want to closedown Freeview altogether as soon as possible. Arqiva who repair Transmitters and maintained wants Freeview to continue.
