    @edgarwright @broccantyzack @itv2 Would make for a brilliant friday/saturday/sunday triple header. Would love to break it down into how many times a year they appear on freeview TV

  • 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.

    @notoriousok we was poor so we only had freeview growing up so it was like CBBC, CITV & **** but i’d go my friends house and watch cartoon network **** take my back

  • jelbugle j_e_l (@jelbugle) reported

    @pb14 @dubdobdee True, and the multi-channel environment on freeview seemed pretty much the same as ever last night. Poor old Beeb is in a bit of a bind.

  • jcrocker356 John🐶💜🎭🇮🇹🇪🇸🇵🇪🇪🇺 (@jcrocker356) reported

    @EdwardJDavey £500 increase over 12 months is only £41 a month. Just cancel the Sky subscription and get Freeview

    QEII dying means there is nothing on regular freeview television so I’m exploring channels I never frequent and I’ve just landed on The Osbournes Want To Believe which might be my new favourite program

    @ImIncorrigible Not yet. Im preparing for at least a 2 week blackout of Radio when it happens. I'll check Nick Abbot's Fri/Sat podcast. Havent watched Freeview since 2015/Sky since 2017 so avoiding News wont be a problem. YT & the New US Drama's start end Sept 2022. I'll listen 2Old Nick A shows

  • Toasty83 Dean (@Toasty83) reported

    @GregScottTV Uktv still broadcasting with a caption to turn over to bbc news earlier. Some Shopping channels down, Sky could have closed sky arts or pick on freeview with sky news in its place, They didn't, Showcase though are but it'd pay tv.

    @FreeviewAdvice @ToshibaTEC_UK I don’t think it’s an issue with freeview play, the Toshiba tv I have seems to have deleted the app even though there’s a button on the remote specifically for it. I was hoping @ToshibaTEC_UK customer service was better than their tvs, guess not. Thanks for your reply though

    @a516digital Was wondering if it might be quietly forgotten. There are no plans to include BBC News though in theory it could probably be squeeze in as well. Must say though finding the Freeview HD signal far less reliable now than it used to be.

    @_loves_dogs @getnorthern My freeview box broke, I could fix it but now is not the time
