fishinthedark (@fishinthedark1) reported from Hammersmith, England@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.

Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from Wandsworth, England@LushJEL I'm not much of a TV person as I don't really like it, but I found channel 83 on Freeview TV which is NOW The 80s, so some nights I just have it on in the background, lots of crap but also some good old ones 👍

Leya 🟥🟪⬜️🟩🟧 (@_Leyanelle_) reportedDoes 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. 😭😭😭
-
Presley Turberville (@T21949Presley) reported@BritishComedy One more **** feminist's comedy for the Freeview telly dustbin.
-
Steven Dawson (@Steven59066) reported@peach_vick17978 I hope freeview doesn't get shut down in 2034, if it does, I won't be able to watch u and the babestation beauties anymore, I love u so much, X me back
-
nick renshaw (@nickrenshaw5) reported@BBC I hear that Freeview is being turned off at some point in the future. Well you will lose my payment for the TV licence as that's how I watch TV & if you get rid then I won't be able to watch & I'll cancel my licence. Not a very clever decision to make is it?
-
Bigwows 💚🤍💜 ✖️✖️🏴 (@bigwows) reported@cmairsy @virginmedia Zen for internet - rock solid and great customer service, not that you’ll need it. But after ditching Virgin we went down the freeview route, I’m afraid.
-
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.
-
Thyne (@BunchOfThyne) reportedwe just lost our freeview channels as well and it didnt matter bc we never watch live telly and now i need to watch the world cup?? fuming
-
The Silver Cloak (@TheSilverCloak) reported@jaygrocott29 @DoctorWhoPN Wrong. The public service broadcasters are all gifted their spectrum and their advantageous position on the Freeview EPG. Road tax was abolished in 1937. Road building and maintenance is paid by general taxation. Revenue from VED just goes into the chancellor’s pot.

Rich Knight (@bathbadger) reported@RugbyBath Despite Prem Rugby saying it's ITV4, The Freeview planner is saying Chiefs V Sarries - i'd ask Prem Rugby, but they never reply!
-
Jane Fleming (@fleming77) reportedThe government is considering the future of television distribution, which could affect the prospects of the digital terrestrial platform that is marketed at Freeview. and the public service broadcasters that fund it, wants to switch if off by 2034.
