    @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.

    @JoshNeicho @NewlandsIsabel @BrianCathcart The points raised by Stefanovic are serious enough for national media to cover, not just left to a journalist alone. The BBC has a rolling news channel on Freeview that could fit in an entire programme on his points as well as many other important issues not covered elsewhere.

    @JohnDalton6011 Single ppoint of failure: The week long Freeview broadcast problem is another example of an efficient supply chain also being a very fragile supply chain. #bbcr4wato
