    @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.

    @OhBlimey Never on before 4pm, rarely on after 10pm. No news or current affairs. Sky Arts (via Freeview) or BBC4 when possible. The soaps basically are just *on*, not heavily invested in.

  • Glawseagle Glawseagle (@Glawseagle) reported

    @BackOnYourTL @thefulltoss Oh I like that ... and put the coverage on some dodgy freeview channel way down the sky list so I will never have the chance of catching 1 second

  • PhilNTebb Philip (@PhilNTebb) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV Interesting, is that mandated by Freeview or was there a functional incentive to move down the band?

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    In the meantime, transfering the signal to a more sturdy temporary mast will result in 2,500 households losing Freeview, mostly near the Durham coast. This is because the mini-mast isn't tall enough to clear the edge of the North York Moors, blocking line of sight. -2-

    @jtlightbody BBC Parliament - Freeview 232, noon. However, if you want to retain your sanity, I suggest that you record it. I fear that Spaffer is going to be at his smirking worst!

  • WearsideWorrier Christopher Beard (@WearsideWorrier) reported

    @Forces_TV hi, is there an issue with Freeview signal in Sunderland area. Can no longer receive it via the freeview TV or BT box on 96. Missing my fix of cult TV.

  • grumpyoldstan Grumpy Stan.🎼 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 📻 (@grumpyoldstan) reported from Tamworth District, England

    @itvnews I complained about that awful erectile disfunction advert that appears on some Freeview channels, sometimes in the day & at teatimes, when kids will be watching & they didn't do anything! They said it was fine. It's not nice when young grandkids ask what erectile disfunction is!

  • ericdn627 Eric Norton (@ericdn627) reported

    @ParodyFPL @TransponderTV I'm sure nothing, other than a removal of channels as the BBC shuts them down or otherwise makes them unavailable on Freeview, which appears inevitable.

    @PhilJam50063624 Hi Phil, I am sorry to hear that you are having issue with your Freeview reception. So we can look into this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

    Odd to give S4C the BBC3 HD slot on Freeview now BBC3 is coming back when they could have had it after 7pm since 2016 (as BBC Scotland does). Not the long term solution though - but seems to be no long term plans at all for HD on @FreeviewTV with another HD mux will close soon.
