  Why is @ThatsTVOfficial "That's TV 2" only available on #Freeview, the weather today is playing havoc, constantly "Poor signal quality", why was the channel dropped from @freesat_tv - where the picture was never affected by "atmospherics". #ThatsTV

  @Itinerantguy It's a corporate circle jerk that never ends. They just give awards to themselves though circuitous routes. Only the retards with freeview still believe anything that comes from their pursed anuses. Sadly, there are a LOT of retards with freeview.

  @internetplague It was SUCH a big issue for me. Spent a lot of time fretting about it. Joined many ‘If this page gets 1 million likes, Sky Sports must keep SSN on Freeview’ pages.

  @Luke_Jahn_ I am wondering how prepared you are for prison life. internet access is strictly limited. In cell tv is basic Freeview. That does include Channel 4 so Naked Attraction can help while away the lonely evenings.

  Dystopian. The UK gov paper for alternative and social media censorship in the name of protecting “trustworthy” news platforms makes for chilling reading. Lisa Nandy’s Dep for culture, media and sport’s censorial propositions are yet another attempt to protect the establishment from the people. Read it for yourself - “People are increasingly accessing news online, rather than through more regulated spaces like Freeview on their TV sets. This is weakening the ability of trustworthy news providers to reach audiences and shape informed public debate.” The word “trustworthy” here is Orwellian. They mean by it news acceptable to the regime. Mainstream media is not trustworthy in the eyes of the public, for good reason. “Overall trust in UK news has dropped, and only 45% of adults feel confident judging whether a source is truthful. This rise in untrustworthy news and corresponding decline in trust in news pose a risk to the public’s ability to access accurate information.” This is the fault of mainstream media. They have been blatantly biased for decades. The response to the rise in alternative media is for MSM to try and become more truthful, less biased, and honest to the public AND THEMSELVES about their bias. And certainly NOT to censor or throttle alternative media. “[Social media] makes it more difficult for trustworthy news providers to find, maintain and monetise an audience, with repercussions for the commercial viability of public interest journalism.” I.e. regime interest journalism If mainstream media is to be saved it needs to drastically improve its product, and focus on youtube and social media as outlets, it needs to adapt to the media market not try and make the media market adapt to them. How is it that they are so lacking in self-awareness? Ultimately this is a war they can’t win. The question is - how long will it go on. And what damage will be done along the way.

  @bmstewart2004 My mother had Sky since 1997, they kept hiking the price -nothing extra. She was paying £55 p/m for basic TV, most is free on Freeview. She cancelled. Suddenly they could slash the price. She said no — should’ve offered that before. Absolute con merchants. Never trust Sky.

  @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'.
