    @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.

    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.

    @PanasonicUK I have Panasonic Viera TV set now the Sony Crime Channel on Freeview channel 40 has moved to channel 60 but when I click on 60 all I get is Loading Interactive Service then the screen goes blank can you help me please or send an engineer

    @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.

    @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.

    Now I have the truly truly shit @EE freeview package (literally the worst selection of channels on earth but boy is it cheap broadband) I only watch the main 5 channels or SVOD. W, Dave, ITV2 etc are dead to me

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

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

    @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.

  • Putneyman
    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 👍

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

    @skytv i know im a few days behind on my payment and i understand why u cut off my service but why cant i access freeview tv.

  • gildy61
    Random Jottings of Gildersleeve (@gildy61) reported

    I thought to see HD channels on Freeview I needed a HD TV. My TV...hardly used is 9 years old but the Freeview recorder box and combined Freeview tuner I have added has...improved the signal strength. Possibly given extra channels and I can see the HD channels do exist.

    My freeview box isn’t receiving a signal. Just stopped. Wonder if it’s the weather. Wifi fine which is a relief. 🤞

    No reply and they have just said they are raising prices by 10% - time to switch to freeview as I'm not going to support a company who rainbow washes for pride but doesnt back that up with action

    @MartinSLewis This is nothing new. Each year @skytv & @virginmedia are always hiking up their prices to something else & for what bb that doesn’t work & tv channels you never watch. I’d rather stick to Freeview from now on & find myself a cheap bb by shopping around.

    Adam Kewley (@adamjk11) reported

    @TraceHits When will you have your own channel on Freeview? I know your on channel 271 but I have problems connecting my TV to the Internet. I hope in the future that you will have this channel launched properly on Freeview. I have to watch you on Sky.

    Hi @discoveryplus quick question. Watched "My Greatest Dishes" ep3 & ep4 tonight on Food Network via Freeview. So if i want to watch them again if i didn't record them, i have to pay to do so, even though it's a Freeview channel? I assume adverts aren't taken out of paid eps??

  • angelasiddall28
    Angela Siddall (@angelasiddall28) reported

    @virginmedia No it's OK today, I've never had any equipment upgrade in all the yrs I've been with you only a new bb box and a 4dbs added which now prevents me from using my aerial wire on freeview

    @drawnrobots They had a really bad rip of it on one of the freeview movie channels on sky I watched it and the bit where Gamera does his wee acrobatic spin put a big smile on my face.
