    @bigpapablu @itvfootball I don’t have a sky or freeview box! I stream everything and have very good internet so it’s never an issue haha

  • JonnyRoLi JR (@JonnyRoLi) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

    Is anyone else loosing Freeview TV signal tonight in the North West? I keep getting a message saying the channel is scrambled.

    @PeterTatchell You live in a country with hundreds of Freeview Channels that give you hundreds of choices. For one license fee. But you know that, and you don't care, you just want to score cheap points for a populist dopamine hit. So put the gaslight down and stop being a part.

  • GreatStrides65 David Turner (@GreatStrides65) reported

    @GabrielVanca @ZachElsbury @PeterTatchell Freeview. Netflix. iPlayer. Plenty of alternatives available to those who don't want someone's way of life shoved down their throats

    @EvanD @Psythor @JamesCridland Shopping channels also have the issue that it might be seen as inappropriate to continue broadcasting. Of interest in regards statmuxing is that a number of Sky satellite channels also reverted to static captions, including Pick. On Freeview, Pick showed the Funeral. Here, the...

    @soxgnasher Talking Pictures TV have a film on their Encore on demand service on Freeview called The Turners of Prospect Road (1947) about a Greyhound. Great scenes from inside the stadium.

    @anteggs49 Been none on most freeview channels for days. Not sure about terrestrial TV, as never really watch it, only for sport

    @scottygb One Freeview channel would have done to be honest....never been so glad to be abroad to avoid it all.

    @martinetruelove Same as I use Virgin. I’m assuming of you disconnect from the internet and just use the aerial you would get the standard Freeview service but not be able to access any of the apps in the telly.

  • d2leeds JT (@d2leeds) reported from Threlkeld, England

    @AlStewartOBE @GBNEWS Shame I missed your broadcast. Sadly I’m not at home and the Airbnb tv doesn’t have freeview. Internet also too poor to stream.

    @mashcore4mums @a516digital Not sure if the small delay on BBC 1 vs News is intentionally added, or related to the feed passing through regional centres? Freeview SD pictures are poor even on "high" bitrate channels though. "Dreadful" was my initial reaction when I 1st saw DVB in 1999- this hasn't changed.
