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

@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.

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.

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 !!!

@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.

@Mark0Connell @Paul_Burgin Here's a suggestion that will make the @BBC more popular here: Sort out the Freeview signal so it's watchable in hot weather. Here in London the signal is terrible to non existent at the height of summer. Alternatively make the BBC issue refunds for services not delivered.

@CalElcombe @zsk And what happens to the national broadcasting infrastructure when it's not being paid for anymore? No Freeview for starters. If a transmitters fails no-one will fix it too.

@Ian_gm_F @bbcpress You conveniently forgot to mention the radio stations, world service, website with free access to a whole range of educational resources for children, funding and upkeep of freeview infrastructure

...it hasn't helped. Our transmitter is Bilsdale (where there has previously been a fire) but all freeview support we go on says we should be receiving 140 channels. Any ideas? #freeview #BBC1

@rach0907 @LlamaBusiness Virgin's dreadful for price hikes alongside declining service. Scrapped it all when we moved, can get everything we want on Freeview/Prime/Netflix/iPlayer. Then got a Humax box so we can record stuff if we want to. EE's internet is brilliant for the price too

@Fionasstalker Why not list all the services from ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5 and the numerous free services on freeview. At worst the same quality but IMO better than bbc offerings

@FreeviewAdvice I haven’t had any freeview digital TV since the #bilsdale #mast fire. Yesterday & this morning freeview was working - now no service again.

@MattWWoolwich The problem is that the licence fee enables us to watch TV via Freeview. A reasonable model might be to include all that in general taxation. That way it would be funded fairly instead of the current unfair flat rate. Won't happen under the Tories though.

@peacekpr79 @davidschneider The BBC also pays for the Freeview network of transmitters, the way a lot of viewers still get their TV signal.

@GizmoWalpole @sima_kotecha @lewis_goodall So the end of BBC education programmes. Along with lots of the other non profit making services cos we’ll be left with only the popular stuff - about right for a populist government. Plus, who is then paying for the Freeview network. It works because of the way it is funded
