    @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.

  • PhilMcBoobs Philip McHale (@PhilMcBoobs) reported from Barnet, England

  • Beige29 DarkBeige (@Beige29) reported from Merton, England

    Wee #Sushi 🍣 is listening intently @simonmayo ! Struggling to get @greatesthitsuk here in Glasgow, other than on app. 2 TV's, both with Freeview, 1 has major sound issues trying to play it.

  • jsblake_uk jsb (@jsblake_uk) reported

    @GBNEWS Thank **** we only get Freeview light.

  • BigJohnnyArcher John Archer (@BigJohnnyArcher) reported

    Good news for Brits thinking of buying a 2021 LG TV: after disappearing in 2020, Freeview Play support is back on all of LG’s new webOS TVs.

  • StapesinelliR9 Stapesy Martinelli (@StapesinelliR9) reported

    @SkipperAFC I had a pal who did the usual cancel and wait for them to call him back with the good offer, but they never called him and now he has to watch freeview like he’s an inmate

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital Oh yes, forgot about this, thats rearing its ugly head, more problems for freeview, com 7 springs to mind here,

  • ARants88 Human. (@ARants88) reported

    @CatharineHoey @GBNEWS Its broadcast on a signal that is airborn. You dont need a subscription or license to openly receive a freely broadcast signal on devices openly sold with the ability to receive it, otherwise you'd have to pay the annual fee when you buy a tv and freeview wouldnt be built in.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @scotthatley @a516digital @ukdtt Freeview is very poor under the relay service, if they decide to bring in an ip fallback option, that should be there first priority,

  • thecolinturner Colin Turner (@thecolinturner) reported

    @GBNEWS The problem with being on Freeview is we need a licence to watch it and therefore have to fund the BBC.

  • NoSheds No Sheds 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@NoSheds) reported

    @LynseyAnneWhite @eamonngriffin An analogue TV can still show analogue pictures sent down the aerial cable by a video (vcr), satellite (sky,freesat,eutelsat), cable, or freeview box

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    BBC to "support the distribution of S4C services across multiple platforms". Adds weight to comment in BBC Three Public Interest Test about allocating bandwidth to S4C HD in Wales on Freeview.
