@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.

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.

@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

@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.

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.

@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.

@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.

@Hrawli @cowell64807 I got rid of cable/satellite TV few years back. Was ridiculous paying £30 extra a month for what you get for free with Freeview. Sky wanted to put a dish in part of the building that would look horrible. I pay £32 a month for internet & a phone line rental.

@GBNEWS Well I'm hoping production quality head increased since I last tried it. But the SD picture quality is unwatchably poor, do until it comes to HD on Freeview I can't watch.

@FreeviewAdvice We've been here a million times Freeview, don't need you to check on coverage when I can tell you I HAVEN'T GOT ANY SIGNAL ie NO COVERAGE. There is no "data protection" policy on display so don't know what nameless "bot" I'm handing over personal data so no house number TS269AS

@FreeviewTV Freeview is broken for me now. Had to move to freesat. Had no tv signal suddenly. Had an engineer come to install a brand new aerial and still a weak as hell useless signal. So had to give up.

@CharlieREBH76 @4Viewers @E4Tweets That's terrible. I missed the last season too because of the weirdly bad airing of it and could never find it online to stream. Such a shame as it's an amazing series w/ nothing else like it on freeview 😔

@CrabbyValiant @back_the_BBC That's starting to change: Anyone with a Sky Glass TV no longer needs to turn over, as the HD service is fully regionalised. Virgin Media and iPlayer users are up next for the upgrade. Sky, Freesat and Freeview due to be upgraded before the end of 2022.
