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

    @chloesammike @andywigmore @KayBurley Don't worry you can still get Sky news on channel 132 on your Freeview box. Thick ****.....

    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!!

    Once you've got netflix you realise how many utterly crap films there are, they're a waste of electricity. Even what I thought of as rubbish films when I only had freeview now look top 10%

    @jimwaterson @NickGTC Freeview's delay was pretty bad.

  • Downbyetheriver DOWNBYTHERIVER (@Downbyetheriver) reported

    @afneil I've seen these on Freeview. Both low key, undramatic, no gimmicks and no inappropriate latter-day commentators popping up to give their spin, and yet so magnetic. Very much in the image of Thames TV's world class, The World at War. (If you've never seen, see before you die!)

  • RsKelv Kelvin R. Smith P&J Project (@RsKelv) reported

    @otivar55 Most people will probably steer clear of @AJEnglish (Freeview CH 235) and never see this remarkable 4-part documentary. Hopefully, it will be allowed to be screened on UK mainstream TV.

    @prodnose I'm going back to Freeview so I don't have to pay virgin for their lousy expensive service. Get my broadband from someone else now as well
