    @KarmaUnc @GMB @joshwiddicombe Yes, but the BBC is a significant contributor to Arquiva who own the masts. They also support Freeview and Freesat.

    Virgin tv and broadband gone down yet again. Resorting to Freeview right now. The picture quality is actually much better than Virgin...AND no glitches and constant picture breakup!!

    @brianwinteruk I remember updating Freeview, half of the channels never came back & it always had to be scanned a few times.

    @PhilHay_ Is my freeview a little slow?

  • oohmissus Mothy (@oohmissus) reported

    @TheHutchPlay @TalkingPicsTV Looking forward to watching this. But my Freeview recorder is not showing ‘Series Timer Record’ option for this programme - are you able to fix this @TalkingPicsTV ? And if there’s an appetite for classic French TV, how about ‘Aeronauts’ and ‘The Flashing Blade’?

  • DJGaryBaldy DJGaryBaldy (@DJGaryBaldy) reported

    @Petwill1 It really is time Gold And Alibi were made Freeview channels I can't afford Sky or Virgin TV. I refuse to sign up to a streaming service. Most of the stuff on Gold has been played to death.

    Oh dear! The #Freeview signal has failed again! It happens every so often. #Newhaven

  • Richard94594538 Richard East (@Richard94594538) reported

    @MarkKen20510303 I wonder how long it will be before they want a TV station on Freeview/Freesat? Ofcom won't mind, they're happy to have rightist lies and hate rammed down people's throats.

    @jomilleweb I have no intention of cancelling my Amazon Prime, I use it for shopping, and am waiting for second series of Wheel of Time. Never had Netflix, nor any other streaming service, "making do" with Freeview. When wokes live in my shoes and pay my bills... maybe.
