    @KarmaUnc @GMB @joshwiddicombe Yes, but the BBC is a significant contributor to Arquiva who own the masts. They also support Freeview and Freesat.

  • mooseandme1 Moose And Me (@mooseandme1) reported from Great Harwood, England

    @Ossyref I know but it’s not on Freeview. Not everyone has YouTube for TV or ability to watch on app. We ok as have Virgin but it’s still crap they ain’t showing it for others.

    @ModernCassie Never knew it existed. Who will screen it on Freeview?

  • meraulton Meraulton (@meraulton) reported

    Build up your own library of DVDs and CDs because tonight's tv is just awful. I expect terrestrial tv to be bad every night but Freeview is now following suit. Just put your own stuff on. A bit of Genesis then Apocalypse Now.

  • rasiron Rachel Saville 💙 (@rasiron) reported

    @rreczulski @mrwilmore18 Thanks but I don’t have Freeview, signal not strong enough, always had to rely on a satellite signal. I get a few radio channels with sky but not Humberside.

  • just_call_me_DK Dreamkiller (@just_call_me_DK) reported

    @LemonKid1978 @SkyArts There is for me. I don't have a Sky (or any other) package, and we live in an area where the Freeview is limited to about 20 channels, so no chance of me seeing it at the moment. Hopefully, it'll appear elsewhere sometime soon. Seems to have gone down well. Was it good mate?

  • trev_lisa Trev.stanley/Lisa.sweety. (@trev_lisa) reported

    @Bob71136804 @BBCSport That's the iplayer. The "red button" is page 601 on freeview. You click on the screen for the iplayer and @BBCSport will force you to swear your life away that you have a tv licence and make you sign in! Many elderly, disabled, poor just do not have the wherewithall or tech!!

  • UKTVPlayHelp UKTV Play Help (@UKTVPlayHelp) reported

    @paulajt Likely the known issue we have with Freeview devices. A fix will be released soon this week so you can tell us if you still got the error.

  • thirstyworks ♂GENERAL ELECTION NOW 👍Paternalistic Conservative (@thirstyworks) reported

    @BreesAnna @KayBurley Weird, Sky 233 on Freeview was down this morning!

  • Mistertonmick75 Michael Kent 🦮 Eddie 🐕 Kaylee 🌈 🐕 Toby 🌈 (@Mistertonmick75) reported

    @rreczulski @rasiron @MalarkeyIron I think it is daft not having a freeview aerial for back up incase Sky is down rhrough weather or your Sky main box isn't working and you are waiting for a day or 2 for a repairman or replacement, at least it is better than watching a blank screen.
