    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 😂

    @Samantha_J_Rea Hmm not to sure about freeview but definitely freesat it’s been taken off for over a year. Probably the same though. Sucks big time. Anyway. Hope you are well.

    BBC iPlayer dropping out, awful UHD colour rendition. HD Freeview by far the better viewing option #ENGCRO

  • Michael80789776 Michael CLARK (@Michael80789776) reported

    @ShiregreenOwl @teresadg0 The online services are definitely a big contributor, I agree. But a dedicated 24 hr news service on Freeview is far more accessible for many, and that will have an impact

    @jonoabroad If you get a Vodafone set-top box, you can also subscribe to Sky. However, you can change or cancel the service(s) month-by-month. TBF, the Voda set-top box is quite good c.f. the competition; works fine on Freeview, streaming services (incl. NZ ones).

    **** sake man, hate having to use BBC iPlayer to was the game because there's a bit of a delay on it. Found out about the goal on Twitter 20 seconds before it happened. (Also, I am watching it on S4C, but I gotta go through BBC iPlayer to get it cos I can't pick up Freeview).

  • Charles10545180 Charles West (@Charles10545180) reported

    We are all urged to support England in Euro 2020 , but I seem to remember that those of us that only had freeview T V were not allowed to watch our national team in the UEFA Nations League not so long ago, funny how things change.

    ahhhhhhhg this part of hotel-staying where crap 00s true crime documentaries on the freeview is all there is to entertain

  • Cerb32 Cerb32 (@Cerb32) reported

    @suzseddon Yes, but Freeview reception is poor.

  • StuartMMeikle Stuart Meikle (@StuartMMeikle) reported

    @vickihird When is it available on Freeview? If he knows diddly squat about food production and farming, well he will just be another in a long list of people who have decided that they can tell us slow-on-the-uptake agriculturalists how to do it.
