    @MarkDob_ Oh really? Suppose Jarrett knows the value of a good TV deal in the UK from Impact’s run on Challenge. Challenge airing in FreeView was a huge help in drawing those big houses for TNA in the UK during the first half of the 2010s

    i never had sky TV or any of the channels i could listen to rock music thru other than once a week thru a really shady freeview channel and a huge part of my music taste came thru that, and blink were on that

    @SkyHelpTeam Well done Sky When your box breaks down Freeview is not available Is it true that most people use "dodgy" boxes only I cannot understand why?

  • michael_b95 M B (@michael_b95) reported

    @HughesOnAir Oh no Howard the end of your show was cut off (on freeview TV at least). Didn't get to hear how to support the show?

  • TEOL85 The Evolution Of Life (@TEOL85) reported

    @DCMS A all data Freeview Play is feasible until you notice the signal can go out on a bad placed Ariel but unlike the RF signal version you can't find out the correct way to align the Ariel because you just get no signal no squires of broken channel feed just a disconnect.

  • electrichoover Electrifed Hoover (@electrichoover) reported

    @orelduderino @Danlassman Is your TV remote broken? at least 200+ channels to choose from on Freeview (900+ if your lucky)

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    I notice the Red Button text service isn't functioning on Freeview, Winter Hill transmitter.

    @jpxan71 @MasterChefUK Food network, on Sky it’s on 140, on freeview is channel 43.

    I love all the drama from people complaining about the emergency alerts... "I DIDN'T CONSENT!". It's a broadcast. The gvt doesn't have access to your phone via emergency alerts. It's as intrusive as the BBC Freeview signal. Keep the alerts on. They could save your life.

    @SteveWalesPhoto @StansaidAirport @DavidBflower That's modern technogy, we still have our Baird 405 line set with those spindly screw in legs. Problem is reception of Freesat / Freeview is frankly rubbish. But we like that screensaver when we turn off at night. This fading dot - riveting.
