    @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.

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    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 😂

  • crazycol Colin Wiseman (@crazycol) reported from Ealing, England

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

  • Doranish james (@Doranish) reported

    It’s been suggested that Unite set up a “news and views” TV channel, initially a YouTube channel rather than something which seeks to get a broadcast license for Freeview. This isn’t an inherently bad idea, though it might be too risky for one union to do on its own.

  • NewWorldLoading Nathan Blake (@NewWorldLoading) reported

    @TaniaWren @GBNEWS @Specsavers It's on 216 on Freeview. I have watched it a few times. Not bad just a bit of a dark studio. Could do with brightening up a bit!

  • DawnieR2 💙Dawn💙ProudtobeBritish💙🇬🇧 (@DawnieR2) reported

    @sandieshoes We would be happy to. Cancel our Sky subscription and watch it on Freeview / subscription. Likewise we subscribe to Amazon Prime, Netflix, don't give it a 2nd thought. Good VFM.

    @GBNEWS 236 Freeview has Al Jazzera on my TV. Help.

  • GSpellworthy Gavin J Spellworthy ™️🤍 I/U (@GSpellworthy) reported

    @davidericstan @johnredwood Our Freeview signal is pretty poor for most channels, but GBNews is unwatchable. I now stream it from the app to the tv and have no problem with picture quality or sound... that’s providing you have an iPhone and Apple TV. I don’t know about other devices.

  • MatthewKing35 Matthew King (@MatthewKing35) reported from Southampton, England

  • ferrarif50lover That man there (@ferrarif50lover) reported

    Right, best quality TV I ever watch is HD Freeview. I do watch Netflicks and whatnot, but I don't know what standard they're in. What's the best resolution TV is worth my getting?
