  • Crewedaddy Richard Seamon (@Crewedaddy) reported from Crewe, England

    @james_blue_cat Can't afford any streaming service or the hardware upgrade to accommodate one. Freeview and iPlayer is enough. Didn't switch telly on Xmas day and Bob and Paul going fishing was my highlight.

  • JoyAnneGarner Joy Garner (@JoyAnneGarner) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    Anyone else having issues with Freeview etc today? ST6 area ?

  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Werrington, England

    Warning, stupid question incoming, does a Freeview tele just simply plug into an old skool aerial?? My mum wants a new TV but doesn’t have cable. I’m assuming so? I’ve had cable since the early 90s so haven’t had to faff on with aerials for 30 odd years !!!

  • minxsterev helen kirk (@minxsterev) reported from Crewe, England

    @curryspcworld Just been into your Crewe store looking for a freeview box. 5 staff members fiddling with displays, me the only customer. Not one member of staff came to see if I needed help. Going elsewhere as you obvs don't need my custom.

  • kirstxxiv kirstylouise (@kirstxxiv) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    Imagine how much of a Christmas miracle it would be if BBC3 came back to freeview number 7. I can picture it now, Gavin & Stacey returns and BBC3 makes a comeback. 25/12/19 would go down in history.

  • DavidSwindells1 David Swindells (@DavidSwindells1) reported from Macclesfield, England

    Hope we don't get this warm weather very often.#freeview doesn't work because of the high atmospheric pressure apparently. How am I going to watch #loveisland

    We are aware of an issue affecting our FM transmission due to power issues at the transmitter at Eston Nab. We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this and are working to resolve it as soon as possible. DAB and Freeview signals are unaffected.

  • MagnaCartwheel Boudica .. The Original Essex Gel? .... or Anni ! (@MagnaCartwheel) reported

    @DeBarsham @cool_grandad @ragnorakishere Thats what I said ... the communist idiot doesnt believe history or the truth .....he needs to watch the type of footage I am now watching on "Yesterday" Freeview CH27.... then he will know the truth .. also "World at War"

  • radiodandy75 Deanna LeCoyte (@radiodandy75) reported

    @LeeroyWildman Freeview Leeroy I am fortunate to have Channel 4 on my phone so no problem I watched it on that instead but it was strange it wasn't on my televisions 🤔 I even went downstairs to see if it was just my bedroom one But the sitting room one didn't have it either 🥺

  • Hausofgoochi1 Goo 🦠 (@Hausofgoochi1) reported

    @favesass They're forcing them onto the internet, this is insane. We could only have Freeview growing up since we barely had internet access. This is such a ****** thing to do to poor and low income families. Watching CBBC and CITV was literally one of the only things we were able to do.

  • larissaweems lettie (@larissaweems) reported

    when i was young we couldn’t afford anything like sky and freeview wasn’t really a thing, and then when it was introduced we still couldn’t have it because we didn’t get a signal. citv and bbc was the only way i could watch children’s tv after school/sick days and i feel like

  • Dave0932705 Dave (@Dave0932705) reported

    Is anyone else having trouble getting gb news on freeview

  • ameena_q90 Ameena 🇺🇦 (@ameena_q90) reported

    @CallumKeith1999 live? Ah **** what if you have freeview?

  • AlexTheGuiri Alex the Guiri (@AlexTheGuiri) reported

    @Glostermeteor @MattWWoolwich Nope. The BBC was given a significant uplift in the licence fee to implement Freeview in the early 2010s. It was then allowed to keep that uplift to fund the World Service (previously FCO) and ‘free’ licences for over 75s (previously HMT). Typically it has subsequently reneged.

  • jonwensley Jon Wensley (@jonwensley) reported

    @Cyanosis1966 @BATC_London @DPJHodges 1) How do you (technically) have a subscription service that doesn’t require a set top box/internet connectivity? 18m people use Freeview, & 1.8m households have no internet access 3) If you need to pay £20/month to Sky/Virgin to access it, it is more expensive than a licence fee

  • SlightlyRobotic RoboticTextMongler2000 (@SlightlyRobotic) reported

    @dangermouse2 @alanshearer @DannoMkII The service isn't the BBC, it's freeview channels and other live TV channels. You don't have to pay it just because you own a device that could do that, only if you use it for that.
