    @Samantha_J_Rea Hmm not to sure about freeview but definitely freesat it’s been taken off for over a year. Probably the same though. Sucks big time. Anyway. Hope you are well.

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

    @ignorami @LeeAndersonMP_ @lucyfrazermp UTTER CRAP!!! If you watch ITV you have to pay it. If you watch Chanel 4, 5, or any of the other 100's of freeview channels, you have to pay it. If you watch Sky you have to pay it. Educate yourself.

    @smoothfuego1 Bro I grew up poor MTV base ? BET on freeview was the first time I saw black people on tv since they cancelled 6:30pm fresh Prince

    @RadioNightTrain @benbakerbooks Working OK on an actual 'Wireless' 📻 & Freeview 716 on TV. Don't know if GHR do a catch-up thing, but for a live quiz that probably wouldn't be much help anyway, would it. @RealKenBruce

    @ramsay_wmramsay @MattSTKS @CraigMurrayOrg I would prefer it was on Sky or freeview TV. The issue here is with UEFA and the SFA as they are in charge of the TV rights. The UK or Scottish Government have no control over it.

    I'm sure there will be other providers trying to do the same worried people will cancel services due to cost of living increases. We just cancelled SKY TV as were paying £50 a month to pretty much watch channels that are available on freeview.

    @SpeedStar_76 @BBCNews 'You can cancel your licence if you no longer: watch or record TV on any channel via any TV service (e.g. Sky, Virgin, Freeview, Freesat) watch live on streaming services (e.g. ITVX, All 4, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Now, Sky Go) use BBC iPlayer*.'

    @Jan_208 It really does! I have no problem watching 405 line black and white especially with vintage content. The freeview box it is attached to seems to be stuck on @TalkingPicsTV !

  • cbrown0601 Christopher Brown (@cbrown0601) reported

    @virginmedia no broadband since 0730 on Tuesday - no engineer until Tuesday 11 April. Tv playing up too. What a Happy Easter treat. I am about to plug in my old rooftop aerial on Freeview for the weekend 😫

  • JamesMartinTVR James Martin (@JamesMartinTVR) reported

    The other issue with the @bbceurovision geoblock is in normal years, the semis are on BBC Three; not available in HD in Scotland or Wales on Freeview. So these viewers have no way to watch in HD.
