    @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

  • fishinthedark1 fishinthedark (@fishinthedark1) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @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.

    @TalkingPicsTV Hello. Watching at about 4.35 pm on Monday 24th the Sky TV picture was completely lost from your channel and went off air. All other channels were fine. Also okay on Freeview but I missed the end of the film. At 4.48 pm it is still without a, signal. What's up?

  • 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.

  • coulson3000 Hank Moody (@coulson3000) reported from Kensington, England

  • sabrina777z SabrinaEvans01 (@sabrina777z) reported

    @ChrisGPackham Then let them pay for it. Why do I pay for a service I do not use. Maybe 10years ago I could agree but Freeview and Prime/Netflix no reason for BBC.

  • Gmcswineyyy gerardmcswiney (@Gmcswineyyy) reported

    @reformexposed Ooh maybe because if the bbc were forced to go subscription, it would get rid of freeview, funded by the tv licence, so to watch tv you would have to pay a blooming fortune on a subscription service?

  • GiannaMarriotta Celeste (@GiannaMarriotta) reported

    @DaveWeet @GBNEWS So tell me do you have Wi Fi and a Smart TV? Do you pay for satellite Sky or whatever? I don't want those I just want basic Freeview wired and never watch BBC on principal.
