@CarrieAHarper @thebarryhorns Don't even know where to find it! Never even searched. Is it on Freeview?

@GMB @susannareid100 Cancel Sky for starters. Loads of good stuff on Freeview. Those £60 trainers little Chantelle wants? Don't buy them. Cook from scratch. Get a big bag of spuds and a tin of corned beef and do potato hash. Live within your means.

Back the BBC 📺📻📡📱

John Whittingdale leaving @DCMS may be bad news for BBC. He had ruled out a subscription model for the BBC as being technically impossible on Freeview (to replace the licence fee). He was also known to like Tim Davie's reforms of the BBC

@a516digital Most who I know have got sky and or freesat so makes no difference, but those who do watch freeview have problems with Forces TV, BBC4 HD, etc, the Great TV! Channels are all pixelated, and ITV ch4 and ch5 keeps popping and squeaking on the sound.

Really @skytv , no info, no update and now I have to sit on the phone for 30 mins to find out why YOU have cancelled my service? And now I'm being charged for freeview channels which I can get for free??? Nah this is ridiculous.

@mwnciod @Greyhound_One Check the Freeview site. It could be your decoder. That was my problem as it turned out.

@BBCNews Not just villagers, occasionally try my TV and still can't get a signal (have freesat so not that much of an issue) My Dad has BT Youview box that he barely knows how to use and no Freeview channels at all.

@a516digital It's a shame I cant get freeview where I live, as I would have liked to report how com 7 reception is. But it's been poor for a few weeks now, from what others told me.

@OwenJones84 Never actually looked at this,Owen,though I am reasonably discerning to avoid nearly everything from non Freeview stations in particular those from Aus. billionaires. I find it difficult enough to pay for BBC license fee each year.

@Jo_IsABitch Not a fan of that charlatan! Saw him whilst flipping through the religious channels on freeView here, the first time we got the service. Saw his audience, realised really rapidly, he was in it for the money, nothing else! Easy life being given 10+% of everyone’s hard earned money

@RebeccaHBM I’ve had no signal for TV since they changed to Freeview, so for approx 15 years I’ve had to pay for Sky. I don’t live in a little country village, I live in Barrow in Furness. We get our signal from IOM which is bounced off Winterhill, but not available here

@Forces_TV @MakingBlakes7 @GerryAndersonTV If only I could get your channel on freeview in our neighbourhood 😥. Your signal hamsters need to spin their wheels a bit harder!

@joti261 @Nigel_Farage @GBNEWS Typical idiot Remoaner, you must have found a way to cancel your Freeview then because it's on there too.

@gemandmoll @Bbmorg Which is great for you. So maybe you should be paying through subscription allowing those of us who do not watch their services the right to watch other freeview channels without paying for a service we do not want.
