  • 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 😂

  • 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.

    A glitch just happened on my TV: Despite having a small channel package on Freeview Play, all the Freeview channels appeared out of nowhere on my tv, and they all have no signal.

  • choctopus Leah Mountford (@choctopus) reported

    the Freeview website says there's no outage but everything else says there is. Gonna have the middle classes wandering the streets going feral if they can't watch bake off

  • AboutEG About East Grinstead (@AboutEG) reported

  • sufc4ever leghc (@sufc4ever) reported

    @robertlargan Freeview and DAB radio would be good too, especially poor in Chinley area

  • tommy210254 Thomas Hamilton IV 💙 (@tommy210254) reported

    @darrengrimes_ @LoisPerry26 @CAR26_ORG What channel is it on freeview? I can never find your "TV" output.

  • TracemjSmith TMJS ✊🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 (@TracemjSmith) reported

    @Jakbar1 @JolyonMaugham It's a freeview channel. I have a sky box but not sky channels and find it by going to news channels then scrolling down.

  • chrishainstock media:man (@chrishainstock) reported

    @JakTrident @cavaliers_rock @bbcdoctorwho to fully understand the Dr Who sound issues it would be useful to discover who was watching on what platform. E.g. iplayer, Freeview, iplayer HD, BBC though SKy etc - Can I ask what broadcast system were you listening to?

  • garethlkr Gareth Smith (@garethlkr) reported

    @darrengrimes_ Just a reminder. The License fee is a tax on watching live TV. You pay the tax is you watch most live tv on most platforms (sky, Virgin, Freeview etc.) The tax is used to help pay for the BBC tv, web, radio but it's nothing to do with specifically watching the BBC
