    @chloesammike @andywigmore @KayBurley Don't worry you can still get Sky news on channel 132 on your Freeview box. Thick ****.....

  • 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.

    @Cuppa378 It’s free because they’re contractually obligated to provide it for freeview. As they were happy to show the EL final in full resolution on YouTube 3 days back, not doing the same for the CL as the more important competition is pathetic.

    @timmyjpb Thanks Tim! I did see that but I just fail to understand with all the channels on Freeview you still have to subscribe (even for a free trial) to just watch one programme! Maybe that’s just me...?

  • chey_cobb CyberSec Chey (@chey_cobb) reported

    @VickerySec Here we have a pretty decent digital antennae service called Freeview. We're required to pay an annual fee for a TV license but, if you don't pay, you can still use your TV. Cost varies, but it ranges from £0-£150. They do use scanning equipment to detect unregistered TVs.

    @arabforlife83 Assume bt tv box is connected to internet hub by ethernet. That’s what your bt sport comes down. Tv channels (Freeview) come via aerial. Connect aerial from wall socket into box, then aerial out from box to tv. For aerial signal to pass through to tv, need pass through setting on

    @FreeviewAdvice You see @GBNEWS it’s a post code lottery with Freeview , whose shareholders are BBC and ITV. The divide in service is appalling years since digital switchover and they don’t care to improve. Make your own app please!

  • itspetersanford LegendPeterSanford (@itspetersanford) reported

    @tomhfh I have rescanned my freeview box and labelled GBNEWS as ******** TOM. Just to ensure I never watch the Channel until Tom has got a gig more in line with his skill set. The Beano? Viz?

  • Northern_Steve Steve, just Steve (@Northern_Steve) reported from Manchester, England

    @mickmcfc1 I'll never know. I've pulled the cable out. BBC Parliament on freeview only from now on. They talk absolute bollocks but rarely about football. I'm in!

  • JulianRadbourne Julian Radbourne (@JulianRadbourne) reported from Cromer, England

    @dramachannel Will the first episode of series 5 of Waiting for God be on the catch-up service? Can't find it on either Sky+ or Freeview.

  • AndrewCLeach Andrew C Leach (@AndrewCLeach) reported

    @afneil Will you have subtitles? I watched the trailer on Freeview. No subtitles, and the signal didn't cater for them ("Feature not available with current signal"). Disappointed.

  • AvifaunaLux AvifaunaLux Shadow Banned for telling the truth!🌸 (@AvifaunaLux) reported

    @NOW Disappointing that this is not being shown on a regular terrestrial Freeview "network" channel, being that Friends was a network show available to all, and not premium/subscription.
