  @RickSacrop @neal_preshner Hmm, where I live can’t get Freeview signal, still have to pay licence fee. I have to pay for Sky so I can watch TV, hardly fair in my book. Sooner it’s scrapped the better!

  @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.

  It's a good thing I am not reliant on terrestrial TV as the signal is as choppy as **** tonight. Freeview over the net is perfect. Been the same since the Bilsdale transmitter caught fire.

  @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...)

  @BBCDerbySport Hi guys, anyone else had a problem trying to watch or listen to the game today. Sky Sports through Virgin wasn’t working, channel 717 on Freeview was broadcasting Burton Albion, you can’t listen to it on BBC Sounds, I ended up in my car in this weather!

  @dodgson_sally Since all the channels on Freeview carry adverts why on earth is the Govt getting involved in trying to scrap it? Surely it funds itself? Bad news for pensioners & disabled people who rely on access to tv every day. Better to scrap GB News & OfCom. @lisanandy @andyburnham

  @soupyferns This generation have never had to sit up waiting for the 10 minute freeview, and it shows.

  @iggy1966 @BENEFITS_NEWS They don't really, Chris... However the 'Freely' service currently being touted to replace Freeview in about 15 years time IS a streamed service which WILL be available via set top boxes/inbuilt IP provision in TV sets and probably an 'App'.
