Nik Rahmel (@niklasRen) reported from Wandsworth, England@Stephen_Neal Good shout! If we just take the Freeview/Freesat ones, we get to ten, excluding the National ones: 1) BBC One 2) BBC Two 3) BBC Four 4) CBBC 5) CBeebies 6) BBC News 7) BBC Parliament 8) Dave 9) Drama 10) Yesterday But they aren’t licence fee funded, so don’t help the argument.

-
Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, EnglandOnly reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂
-

Matt Huisman (@MattHuismanNZ) reported@tdbnz123 @ThreeNewZealand @BravoTV Please check their official website / freeview apps. I think its down for everyone so a them problem
-
Tony Quintus 🇬🇧 🏴 (@MisterQuintus) reported@DanielJHannan Now explain how you make BROADCAST TELEVISION a subscription service without a technology change on the scale of the move to freeview.
-
Tom (@TomCushnie) reported@x20mjs @AvonandsomerRob The World Cup feed is full range HDR and because our infrastructure is so far behind technlogy they crush the colours into a limited range to fit into Freeview. Red and yellows look really bad with this. Although it looks like BBC are handling the picture better
-
Levelling down (@LevellingDown) reported@reformparty_uk Freeview TV is yesterday's free-to-air. Freely is the future. Still free, still the same crap.
-
codfish 🧶 (@codfish246) reported@4doorsmorepaws ah that makes sense! never looked into whether freesat got more channels than freeview but i'm assuming it was probably just a signal thing more than anything else lol that sucks 😭 I only remember having to that with analog tv for a while and then I guess we got our aerial fixed
-
Matt Quinn - The Caledonian Television Company. (@Matt_Q_OnX) reported@sparry951 @diablik_uk @BENEFITS_NEWS It'll be a slow creep; for many years now some channels on the Freeview EPG have in fact been streamed. Freeview recorders are still readily available for those that want them; if you're using Sky/Virgin etc. you're already NOT using the Freeview service that is 'under threat'.
-
IronWorks1990 (@IronWorks1990) reported@dskiuk2 @Danrocsky76 @cordbusters I went Paris last year and our tv where we stayed was through through aerial, 50 odd channels and every single one of the was HD. Freeview now is terrible in 2026, full of shovelware channels and hardly any HD channels, SD channels look awful as well.
-
Rob (@MrSugden2) reported@Guyz20051 It's good. There are a more channels than Freeview but, unless you're into obscure topics, you'll never watch them.

13th Century Schizoid Man 🇬🇧 (@13thschizoidman) reported@harrythesignman @andrewc44104127 Phones aren't allowed No Internet is allowed TV is basic freeview. Food is basic Get a clue before you post dumb ****
