    @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.

    If we're in lock down for another 3 weeks, I really feel the #sonyChristmasChannel should be put back on #freeview...Will keep people in the house ( okay, it'll easily keep me in the house🎅🤶🌲

    @afneil Will you have subtitles? I watched the trailer on Freeview. No subtitles, and the signal didn't cater for them ("Feature not available with current signal"). Disappointed.

  • Nick72507205 Nick 💙 (@Nick72507205) reported

    @JulieCourtTV Hi Julie, its saying over here in the UK that Court TV on Freeview Ch89 - This service has now closed. Just wondered if you know anything as there are still the channel listings, but no service. Kind regards, Nick.

    I can't understand why itv4hd isn't available on freeview. Watching the tennis is awful.

  • egaaronp Elizabeth Macpherson (@egaaronp) reported

    @CourtTV ..the UK channel 89 on Freeview says 'This Service has now spider's - why? It was working on Monday & I've watched everyday since it was available 😥

  • nicholasclark13 Nicholas Clark (@nicholasclark13) reported

    @FreeviewTV any sign of a Freeview streaming stick? Would make so much sense for poor signal areas or houses with thick walls!

  • chey_cobb CyberSec Chey (@chey_cobb) reported

    @VickerySec Here we have a pretty decent digital antennae service called Freeview. We're required to pay an annual fee for a TV license but, if you don't pay, you can still use your TV. Cost varies, but it ranges from £0-£150. They do use scanning equipment to detect unregistered TVs.

    @CourtTVUK have you shut down your UK Freeview service? 🙁

  • ElliotTheUnread Elliot (@ElliotTheUnread) reported

    @beverleyhills8 @GBNEWS Yes this is the stupid thing. They are supporting the TV license by being on Freeview etc. Should have gone internet-only.

    @gregorybelton @BiscuitHalf @Reachingbroom The BBC licence fee supports the Freeview platform - no BBC and Channel 4 (the commercial side of public service broadcasting) - no Freeview. :There's no such thing as a free lunch'.
