    @bowlestrek Get your facts straight. Johnson is not in favour of ditching the license fee, as he knows it’s a massive vote loser. Plus they’ve now realised, they can’t go to subscription fee system, as the freeview boxes that the majority of UK households use, don’t support it.

    @LuckyCedarlane @BBCAMERICA @ITV @itv2 @Channel4 @channel5_tv C5 is awful. All this is freeview too!

    @SimonNewton5 @TransAm58 @arqiva ... many areas that are served by relay transmitters (ie. not the main masts - but secondary relays) do not have access to the full range of Freeview channels - the broadcasters decided it is not worth the cost to cover those areas with a primary service, let alone a backup.

  • Terrywhittingh8 Terrywhittingham (@Terrywhittingh8) reported

    @FreeviewTV The Yesterday channel has disappeared from my TV. To start with the message said "no signal". When I retuned, it said " invalid channel". I've done a Freeview check using my postcode, but that said no outages in my area. Any hints on how to get Yesterday back.

    @SkyHelpTeam does sky glass have an Ariel port so if WiFi went down we could still watch freeview?

  • aegyptiangod DaddyWarBucks (@aegyptiangod) reported

    It's currently impossible to "stream it like it's TV". Whomever solves this problem, Wins. And, people want Freeview channels as basic. They'll subscribe for my Eva Longoria Movies. 😎

    @dan63uk Some places don’t have the signal to get all of the freeview channels. When I used to stay in some places in Wales you’d be lucky to get 20 channels, depending where area.

    @danowen79 @LukeCustardtv NOW sent me a questionnaire about this a little while ago. Sounds like a great TV. I especially like the built-in soundbar. But as a pay-lite customer, I wouldn't pay for full Sky. And no Freeview tuner rules me out.

    @My5_tv There are good programmes on Ch 5 but my5 is not user friendly. A Search option for recent progs would help and an alphabet to help navigate browse. And why is My5 not showing current series of Highland Vet & Casualty24/7? (I watch on Freeview/smartTV).

    @skindeep1956 @TheNorthernEcho Absolutely agree with you, I've phoned Freeview, TV Licence, even Arqiva, & just constantly getting fobbed off by people who don't have a clue. 8 weeks now with no TV services at all! Bilsdale mast fire caused by overloading a 52 year old transmitter & poor maintenance!

  • pondlif51439124 Pond Life 🐸💩51 (@pondlif51439124) reported

    @ChwisSweed I keep saying this.. 40 + yrs hard graft. 62 & Now health issues.. on basic UC. On my own. Bills to pay. Old car to run. Very basic cheap phone. Basic net and freeview. Food bank as and when. That £20 is diff between heating on or not..not everyone on uc is a sponger..

    @gnomeicide IIRC there is one big service not on Roku but I forget which. And you meant Freeview not Freeserve a few posts ago. Freeserve was bought and merged repeatedly and ended up with EE.
