    @CharlieFBBaker1 This test is between my two national sides and has been incredibly stupid, which is brilliant. I should be allowed to watch it on Freeview

  • LwtEmmaBird Sarah Harbour (@LwtEmmaBird) reported

    And without speaking too soon to jinx anything, our Freeview signal appears to be absolutely fine at the moment... cannot understand what is causing the disruption we've been having - not changed anything in the house at all 🤔

    @MattBrocklebank out, on Freeview, which is often a furlong behind the action. A poor show from them, as good as some (italics) of the commentators might be.

  • SaveCBBC Save CBBC (@SaveCBBC) reported

    @W0NK042 @UKChange The channel itself is closing though, on linear TV. It will no longer be accessible on Freeview, Sky etc.. - which is the problem for those who depend on it / do not have access to high speed BB. I could have worded this “CBBC is closing” but like you say, that’s not happening

    @MiaQueen1999 @MartinSLewis I buy food and pay bills. Don't smoke or drink,never go out . I only have freeview nothing else. My phone is from the ark . Yes I have internet for kids or I'd get rid of that too. So what do I take money from to save ?

    @spenjflairs @rogermosey @GaryLineker Why would a subscription service have to arrive by internet/cable? #Sky is a subscription service. It arrives via dish as does #Freesat. Sky just needs a viewing card for the subscription channels. Why cant a #freeview box have a viewing card slot for BBC? Even an STB for BBC?

    Channel 4 HD is channel 104 on freeview for anyone else who just watched the start in the resolution of an etch-a-sketch
