  i am a boy of the eighties (@gilililibo99902) reported 3 minutes ago

  That's 80s was a 24-hour music television channel from That's TV that played 1980s music hits. It closed its linear broadcast on Sky and Freeview on February 28, 2026, but continues as a streaming service on FAST platforms like Rakuten TV and Pluto TV

  @Steven59066 @AmandaMounthump My idea to write to parliament. You're a kind man and they shouldn't be making decisions like this, which will cause you problems and upset, so it will. They need to be told its not right and the decision needs stopped. Although someone told me Freeview might actually stay

  @Glynn11111 @GBNEWS How does that run then as it doesn’t use the Freeview via aerial signal…

  @syncronicity100 Thanks. Briefly thought it was high pressure taking down the Freeview signal in my area again, but it was just a few seconds. Dunno if it was the same on iPlayer.

  @loobylambchop @GBNEWS Then you’ll have no TV at all. All other TV services, freeview, Sky or Virgin need a licence as they broadcast live TV. Amazon Prime doesn’t, it would only do that if you installed and used the iPlayer app, which also requires a separate login.

  @HisenseUK I bought a 55inch tv I had it for 23months all of a sudden I couldn’t get all freeview stations after 4 calls I was told it was my Ariel now I’m left with a heap of crap.

  Another stupid idea is the 2034 plan to turn off Freeview. In no way will rural broadband be up to providing reliable services by then..the same applies to FM/MW radio. It's ridiculous meanness dressed up as 'progress' @SarahChampionMP @KarlTurnerMP @lukeakehurst

  My elderly, widowed neighbour struggles to navigate Freeview. Her smart TV supports Netflix, Prime, Sky, but even if she could afford those platforms, she would be terrified of touching a different button on the remote. She sleeps very little and the TV is her only companion. If she can’t return to her familiar menu, she panics. I’ve had desperate calls from her in the evening, petrified that she’s ‘broken’ her TV. She never has, but her swollen arthritic fingers struggle with the tiny, spongy remote buttons. It’s heartbreaking 🥹. The @LabourParty DO NOT GIVE A **** about the vulnerable and elderly. I honestly believe they’re building to a ‘Logan’s Run’ style of totalitarian State 🤬

  Does anyone who sees this know how to watch ITV WC other than via the app when you don’t have access to freeview? The STV app is forced on us Scottish viewers by ITV & is utter CRAP quality for live footie & I don’t have access to freeview, I use a fire stick & no aerial. 😭😭😭
