    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 😂

  • psnow85 Peter Snow (@psnow85) reported from Arkley, England

    @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.

  • pifflevalve Jon (@pifflevalve) reported from Uplyme, England

    The Sony Movies channels on Freeview have been renamed e.g. “Great! movies action” and it looks **** in the TV guide. I’m quite annoyed. Being quite annoyed is more serious because gay

  • JulianRadbourne Julian Radbourne (@JulianRadbourne) reported from Cromer, England

    @dramachannel Will the first episode of series 5 of Waiting for God be on the catch-up service? Can't find it on either Sky+ or Freeview.

  • leftyBrighton Lefty from Brighton (@leftyBrighton) reported from Hove, England

    @BBCNews I for one won't be retuning my Freeview for this crap.

  • AllsGood6 Loquitur (@AllsGood6) reported

    @DefundBBC Wouldn’t watch the BBC even they made it Freeview, one of the best decisions I made to cancel my TV license

  • moggie1984 Cat (@moggie1984) reported

    @timmyjpb Thanks Tim! I did see that but I just fail to understand with all the channels on Freeview you still have to subscribe (even for a free trial) to just watch one programme! Maybe that’s just me...?

  • Cartoonist_Rob Rob The Cartoonist (@Cartoonist_Rob) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Has your service stopped? I am unable to stream any Freeview related material currently.

  • _Monty200_ Monty200💚☮🦆🌍✨ (@_Monty200_) reported

    @persiarainn I think I heard of that too which is really abusive and horrible to do, especially towards a child actor. I remember Pop too (but we didn't even have that on freeview and was introduced to that when my sibling got sky freesat upstairs) and got into that channel before (1)

  • JulianRadbourne Julian Radbourne (@JulianRadbourne) reported from Cromer, England

    @UKTVPlay Will the first episode of series 5 of Waiting for God be on the catch-up service? Can't find it on either Sky+ or Freeview.

    @GBNEWS I have found your signal on Freeview but not Freesat. I understand it should be 216. Is this correct and if it is, when will the signal broadcast to find. Cheers.

    @CupolaP @JanKay_ @GBNEWS No Freeview HD signal mentioned at the moment.
