    @stevieboywise If that’s Freeview maybe due to high pressure issue again.

    @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.

    @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.

    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 😂

    @jonnyt78 Not at all. Was supposed to be awful except from some certain sections of the media. Some of the games were of freeview over here as well, I didn’t have a clue

    @FreeviewAdvice hi there. Please see DMs sent to Freeview account asking for support with channels that don't show (weird D sign with \ on it next to them) including Sky News, Pick and others. Many thanks

    @DIOWARUUDO @oscar692_ No you just can't watch freeview which is dog **** anyways you can still have streaming services that basically make up for it.

    @rreczulski @rasiron Freeview channel 721 is BBC Leicester where I live so fully rely on BBC Sport commentary. I suspect many others who live away from the region have the same issue.

    @oscarxray Oh god, I had the option to walk out but my level of offence froze me to the spot! We need to cancel all movies that I might flick through on sky and freeview in case I watch them and I am offended . God forbid they play blazing saddles!

    Since last night's Donner und Blitzen storms I can't get a freeview signal

    @rreczulski @rasiron @MalarkeyIron I think it is daft not having a freeview aerial for back up incase Sky is down rhrough weather or your Sky main box isn't working and you are waiting for a day or 2 for a repairman or replacement, at least it is better than watching a blank screen.

    @WitherSDL Oh man, what rabbit hole have I gone down. She's a regular in The Sun (tabloid) as a "glamour model" I guess, and this is her 7th engagement and 8th fiance? They were together for 10 months. Just seems like some average British freeview media personality I suppose.

  • just_call_me_DK
    Dreamkiller (@just_call_me_DK) reported

    @LemonKid1978 @SkyArts There is for me. I don't have a Sky (or any other) package, and we live in an area where the Freeview is limited to about 20 channels, so no chance of me seeing it at the moment. Hopefully, it'll appear elsewhere sometime soon. Seems to have gone down well. Was it good mate?
