    @GeorgeBollands @gemoore83 @BBCSport Ok… I have Now tv so don’t think I can get that but I’ll have a look. My regular freeview is crap as I don’t have an aerial, only have internet streamed TV.

  • LwtEmmaBird Sarah Harbour (@LwtEmmaBird) reported

    @DisorderAwesome Only have freeview I think. Don’t pay for any service

  • jayaumes Jay Aumes (@jayaumes) reported

    @NickBuckleyMBE @DefundBBC Totally agree. I've been saying this for years. Unlike other people who suggest turning it into a subscription service, I say just force them to show commercials instead like all the other channels on Freeview.

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi, I’m struggling to get a consistent signal when watching BBC One and BBC Two on my Freeview box. I even retuned my box and changed regions and that hasn’t solved the problem. Could you please look into if BBC transmitters are experiencing issues? Thank you.

  • Jonny60009 My Granddad Drove Flying Scotsman (@Jonny60009) reported

    Shoutout to all the Freeview kids who didn’t have channels like Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon and Jetix growing up.

    @Amanda45887585 What service you using? Freeview, sky, virgin? The channel list may need updating.

    @SooksThe @GBNEWS Deffo ,👍 we can get it on the main TV through virgin but can't watch on bedroom tv on freeview as signal is from a relay mast. Luckily it's a smart tv so can get YouTube. Great news.
