    @janetlucas728 @andjustice4some It is getting expensive yes. I had freeview, but my tv broke down Last year. So I have nothing now. I just watch stuff online. It doesn't really bother me tbh. But I occasionally miss out on a few things.

  • Declan_M_Wilson Declan Wilson (@Declan_M_Wilson) reported

    @Knibbsey Yep. Noticed it yesterday. Hopefully soon in HD. Gloucester residents using Freeview however still get their news from the Midlands ☹. Sadly don't think there's a fix for that.

    @FreeviewTV why is it that since having #freeview any wind, rain or combination of, and we get **** TV reception?? #craptechnology

    I don't watch Emmerdale any more, but I do like the terse episode summaries they put up on freeview. "Marlon bodypops. Something is loud. Terrible smell at the pub."

    Sky forces you to have a specific bundle with some packages and says "You get 300 Channels for £25 a month" meanwhile Freeview has 170 of them already & most of the new ones are garbage like Poker TV and some random news channels.

    Watching FREEVIEW Drama channel last evening, Inspector Lynley. Used 2B a 2-hour slot. Last night it was still a 2-hour slot BUT with every 10 minutes of drama there were 5 minutes of adverts. Almost an hour's worth of drama cut out. Most of it made no sense at all.

    @DrewLawDesign A few saying Everett, I liked him in the 70s as a kid but I watched it the other week on Freeview and it was cringy as **** really really ****. Best left of n the 70s I think. Anyway has to be Ken Loach.

    @arqiva Around Saltburn location and not receiving any Freeview TV signals, Is it down again..? Bilsdale temporary tower would be the nearest. It's been 48 hours since down.

    @htwcentral @sgordon_the87 @cleanfeed_ttvr I would say that would be a bad idea but to be fair Sky/Comcast are doing a good job with Sky Arts and I was seriously amazed they put it on Freeview 11 and not in the waste land of the epg.

    @russty_russ In SD it’s on 231, but on HD it’s 107. I’m not sure how that works but there you go. RT’s HD service isn’t too far behind it on Freeview either.
