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 😂

Also, every time there is a rescan demanded by Freeview, there’s always a problem with the signal & reception causing the aerial to be moved. Terrible service!!!!! @Ofcom sort this s**t out!!!

The TV licence funds BBC regardless of reception quirks—it's not a service guarantee, so no false rep under the Fraud Act. Ofcom admits tropospheric ducting's a pesky physics fact, not deceit. Subsidized broadband? Smart pivot, as Freeview's UHF limits are baked in. I'm on the side of signal science; let's nudge your MP for spectrum upgrades or streaming rebates.

@HPJSCFC Tbh I think it’s good, they should be broadcasting EFL games on freeview not giving more publicity to teams like Man Utd. Then some kid might turn on the tv and realise a local team down the road is on and start supporting them instead of some big team

I'm the only one here on X who seems to be experiencing issues with #freeview, they said that there were engineering works taking place at the Tower so the TV would keep going black or buffering.

@GBNEWS Why is there always sound problems on GB news on Freeview? I like the channel, but I’m put off with the slight dubbing problem.

@AthleticsWeekly Coverage remains very patchy. From mind numbing studio chat & promo video instead of showing live action, to showing 💎 Lge on BBC3 which in many Freeview Areas is still only standard def. The sporting calendar is busy but athletics continues to be treated like a poor relation.
