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

  • StuN_UK StuN UK (@StuN_UK) reported from Sheffield, England

    @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.

    @oashton88 @FinishedZine BBC is a subscription service too. But there's a host of other channels on freeview.

  • vinceunlimited Vince (@vinceunlimited) reported

    @jimwaterson At least iPlayer is broadcast via an App on my smart TV therefore gets broadcast as HD. Freeview cannot managed HD on any more than 5 channels and BBC4 ain't one of them. SD is visually poor in big flatscreens

  • GFan1969 Jim (@GFan1969) reported

    @larmstrong98 @Kevin_Maguire I do NOT believe you do not have cable, SKY or Freeview, so you have plenty of channels to choose from. Have some damn respect!

  • ShowerAbsolute Absolute Shower (Will) (@ShowerAbsolute) reported

    @olibradley @DAaronovitch @stephenpollard Except Channel 4, all the Freeview stations and every on demand service yes, and plenty of commercial radio stations.

  • jamespdrury James Drury (@jamespdrury) reported

    @hmd_db @TraceyRBurns @michaeljswalker Completely untrue, Freeview (the bare minimum TV service without internet or dish) carries far more than BBC channels and Channel 4. The inability to use ones TV is not the BBCs fault.

  • Trogdouser PaulTM™ 🇳🇱 #BlijfThuis (@Trogdouser) reported

    @cs192 There isn’t a way *not* to get Freeview. Since 2002. But never let the facts, etc.

  • FactsStomp Phil's Retro Life #retro (@FactsStomp) reported

    @trianabutler @cleanfeed_ttvr @ITV The SD Freeview service is low bitrate MPEG2 with far too many channels crammed on to each mux. But I believe ITV+1 is also 544x540 3/4 resolution! (though most channels use this)

  • OmieAKA Omie (@OmieAKA) reported

    @Darrenjs68 @BBCNews Yes. Its almost like all those hundreds of other channels on yr Sky box or Freeview service don't exist.

  • spazhammer ⓦⒶⓃⓨⓔ the cotton headed ninnymuggins (@spazhammer) reported

    ... plus I get to watch the home highlights/finest TV available (plus some garbage/filler I still enjoy!) Instead of watching what's available on virgin/sky/Freeview, I get to choose whatever when I want. I don't get why others haven't. Other than technical skills/knowledge

  • RAF_Vinny RAF Vinny (@RAF_Vinny) reported

    @Macsgfbaker 100 channels on freeview, noone has traditional terrestrial TV anymore, shut down years ago. Most people moaning would never watch BBC live anyway, like you point out....its 5 channels only, oh and only 3 shopping channels out of that 100
