    Can you get battery powered freeview TVs? I don't mean rechargeable batteries, but ones where you stick a few AAs in? I had an analogue one but never seen a digital version. I'm not getting much luck with Google. All I'm finding is plug or rechargable powered.

    Hi folks seems to be a problem with our channel on satellite ! Fine on Freeview , trying to fix!

  • CheritonWeather CheritonWeather CT19 (@CheritonWeather) reported

    @LBC @darrenadam I hope not.....It's sad that so many people are happy to pay for subscription services, but not a license fee for what is essentially a good service via Freeview and Freesat. I refuse to line the pockets of companies like Sky, Netflix, Amazon etc

    @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!

  • BarnsH Barn (@BarnsH) reported

    @FreeviewTV @meikleholm1 Yes many folks not able to watch @GBNEWS because of Freeview cut down service . The post code lottery over who gets free tv.

  • 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.

  • kirstyfiona1 kirsty fiona (@kirstyfiona1) reported

  • terryphi Terry Phillips (@terryphi) reported

    @GBNews Bad news: I hear that those of us in rural areas who receive our Freeview signal from relay transmitters will not be able to view GBNews.
