    So I have a freeview tv in the Scarbados house, but now way to record programmes. Tonight I had to choose between Autumnwatch and the Repair Shop. I have never had such a middle aged dilemma! 😩

    @ShiregreenOwl @teresadg0 The online services are definitely a big contributor, I agree. But a dedicated 24 hr news service on Freeview is far more accessible for many, and that will have an impact

    @Danny_McMoomins Its going to be able on Freeview 643 or something even after the **** grot channels. The daytime TV Gammon's will never reach it too many world war 2 docs, reruns of lovejoy and homes under the hammer to skip through first.

    @afneil @GBNEWS Not all parts of U.K. will be able to receive the channel using freeview. Just so people wondering where it is don’t spend 3wks trying to fix or replace their tv or freeview box. Other chs also fall victim this rotten system. Also available on sky/freesat/cable.

    Hi @twitch community, I was to stream some matches from the Euro 2020 on twitch (2 min time delay). I know there are problems when it comes to Sky TV and other PAY TV but this is actually BBC on freeview. Is it possible or still not allowed? Please Help

    @jonoabroad If you get a Vodafone set-top box, you can also subscribe to Sky. However, you can change or cancel the service(s) month-by-month. TBF, the Voda set-top box is quite good c.f. the competition; works fine on Freeview, streaming services (incl. NZ ones).

    @WarwickHunt4 @cool_grandad UK tv went down the pan with the launch of satellite and cable tv. Even Freeview is the same. Many channels rolling over the same programmes twice a day, some even three times. Now consider tv the same as radio, just noise in the background.

    ahhhhhhhg this part of hotel-staying where crap 00s true crime documentaries on the freeview is all there is to entertain

    @virginmedia we contacted you yesterday to say our WiFi is down! You tell us you can’t get an engineer until Sat! It’s ridiculous! You owe us more then just money off our next bill! We have no tv as have no freeview and have to use our mobile data for that long is unacceptable!
