@BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

I love these Freeview updates. Each time I rescan the television I seem to lose additional channels! I'm down to QVC, Free Sports and That's 70s and it's only 3pm!

@FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

Freeview channel 205 POP linear channel and Freeview channel 208 POP Player will closes on Monday 1st December 2025 Closure of Pop Channel on Freeview Key Details Date of Closure: The Pop channel will cease broadcasting on Freeview on December 1, 2025. Affected Channels: Both Pop and Tiny Pop will no longer be available on Freeview, Sky, or Virgin Media. Reason for Closure: The decision is due to a significant decline in viewership and commercial viability in the children's TV market. Transition to Streaming New Format: After the closure, Pop will transition to a streaming-only service on Freeview. This means viewers will need an internet-connected device to access the content. FAST Channels: Pop will continue to be available through Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV (FAST) platforms, allowing access to its content online. Remaining Options Other Free Channels: After the closure, the main free-to-air options for children's programming will be limited to BBC, CBBC, CBeebies, and Channel 5's Milkshake!. This marks the end of over two decades of broadcasting for the Pop channels, which have been a staple in children's television in the UK.

@sarky_sheena I just stayed in Travelodge in Mickelgate York. The bed was bliss and I had tea and coffee and Freeview. I really appreciate the cost as a poor author needing to stay in a hotel for research.

@sarky_sheena Nowt wrong with a Travelodge. Big up the Travelodges. - more than 5 channels (Freeview) - sockets beside your beds - **** tea and coffee and never enough milk - stained carpets adds to the ambience - cheats showers gels provided in a squeeze contraption that never works
