  My broadband has gone down, so stuck watching QVC on Freeview.

• 
  Jens Fallesen (@JensFallesen) reported 23 minutes ago from Hounslow, England

  @leksi_p Correct. If you do not have Freeview, Sky or Virgin (or any other cable service), you should not need to pay if you never watch it.

  @bt_uk Thanks for the help. I spoke to freeview, tried a few things which didn't work but i contacted your TV help and after doing a few basic things somehow it appears to be working now! Very Strange. Tks

  @PayneB44 @tomhfh @BBC Your point was you want a break from it. There’s 1000s of channels, Freeview, YouTube, Sky, NOWTV, Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, BRITBOX DVDs, Blu-rays. Boxsets. There’s never been so much content to take your mind off it. Or just turn the telly off.

  Eran Edry (@EranE1980) reported 35 minutes ago from Camden Town, England

  @FreeviewAdvice hi there. Please see DMs sent to Freeview account asking for support with channels that don't show (weird D sign with \ on it next to them) including Sky News, Pick and others. Many thanks

  Catholic Twitter UK- help please! Anyone know of a Mass being broadcast on TV tomorrow ( not via internet) Lovely elderly lady has Freeview but no internet.... TIA!

  @MyHydeHome @SCCIAlphatrack Not even sure how that's possible there's no record anyways over the weekend we lost signal for the communal aerial it has become very weak very pixelated can pick up the Freeview HD channels

• 
  Christmas Calvert (he/him) (@XtopherCalvert) reported 47 minutes ago from Poplar, England

  Question for arts people. We don’t use Freeview as our signal is much more reliable using Apple TV through our internet connection. Is there a way I can get @SkyArts via Apple TV?

• 
  david sinfield #pssc (@omotforest) reported 48 minutes ago from West Molesey, England

  To be honest, when you've removed the dependency of other real time tv, i cant see many people chipping in. Many will be paying just to watch their subscription service or Freeview.

  Lee 'Budgie' Barnett (@budgie) reported 48 minutes ago from Richmond, England

  @DrRacheal @FreeviewTV When I had problems with Freeview, I found their helpline - when I eventually managed to get through to someone - very helpful. Took me step-by-step through the stuff I could check and solved it for me.

  A.j. Stranger #UTAG (@AStrangerJ) reported 56 minutes ago from Bromley, England

  On the Freeview “REALLY” channel at 9pm, “Who Killed Jeffery Epstein?”. I’ve never seen it before, but I bet the answers not Jeffrey Epstein.

• 
  Colin Wiseman (@crazycol) reported 58 minutes ago from Ealing, England

  @stevieboywise If that’s Freeview maybe due to high pressure issue again.

• 
  Nik Rahmel (@niklasRen) reported 59 minutes ago 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.

  Andrew Ferguson OBE (@MrSaffron) reported 4 minutes ago

  @c_newman2010 @ruskin147 Be interested in knowing how that works since would not work over freeview and means set-top box or app on tv needed and this will impact the elderly and poor most. Knock on effect cost to run freeview for itv/c4 increases meaning likely to go subscription too

  Post Brexit Foxy 🦊 (@DeusFoxy) reported 4 minutes ago

  @PCarmichaelVO @NadineDorries There's plenty of companies out there. I see ads on some channels that aren't shown on ITV or Channel 4 or 5. Personally I'm for a hybrid model; ads on a skeleton Freeview service, with option of a paid sub on iPlayer for Premium and ad-free catch-up content.

• 
  Paul Carmichael (@PCarmichaelVO) reported 4 minutes ago

  @In4ThePips @NadineDorries The fact that we think disabled people deserve good programming, children deserve good educational resources, the poor deserve Freeview etc etc? Some of us do anyway.

• 
  Mark Gibbings-Jones (@BrokenTV) reported 6 minutes ago

  @GiNgEr_JaMeS Plus, it's a model that would remove BBC services from Freeview, a service used by... the elderly people with limited income that Dorries is claiming to be protecting.

  al 🌻 hbd cait! (@mergwaines) reported 13 minutes ago

  @jedijackles This will also mean the loss of a bunch of freeview channels that you get access to by buying a tv license and getting freeview with it, because they can’t be privatised in the same way, so that would also be really bad for the arts and culture sector :(

• 
  Jon Wensley (@jonwensley) reported 14 minutes ago

  @Jamie_Harte71 @MatthewStadlen How, technically, would you make it a subscription service for those who do not have reasonable internet access and/or Sky/Virgjn/BT TV, the base service of all of which cost more than the TV licence. >10 million people in the U.K. have Freeview.

• 
  Paul Carmichael (@PCarmichaelVO) reported 17 minutes ago

  @PumaBare So you want private subscribers to maintain the Freeview network that they don’t use, provide educational resources whether they have kids or not, provide Welsh services if they aren’t Welsh, provide for Disability programming if they aren’t disabled? Why should they?

• 
  Bookwormsarah 💙 (@bookwormsarah) reported 18 minutes ago

  Is anyone else having problems with the BBC on freeview? Other freeview channels seem to be ok, and CBeebies has re-emerged a couple of times, but we’ve had ‘weak or no signal’ for three or four days. No errors listed on the transmitter page…

• 
  🌍🌳🐟🙉Ady🤔 (@AdyG28) reported 19 minutes ago

  @LBC It's the 21st century, if we are to be forced to pay the BBC so that we can watch 'Freeview' TV or any other tv for that matter, it should only be a news & education, perhaps local radio service. It should be at most half the cost of a weeks unemployment benefit (£40 ish?).

• 
  Paul Carmichael (@PCarmichaelVO) reported 23 minutes ago

  @williambecket @NadineDorries Hi William. The most popular way for pensioners to receive TV is via Freeview. The licence fee pays to maintain the Freeview transmitter network. Presumably this “pay rise” for pensioners can then pay for this?
