    @gordon_dudgeon @profsked @edglasgow59 I read you can delete the BBC from your Freeview by having a piss down the back of your TV. Haven't tried it myself, but let me know how you get on.

    @tws4042 Just hold on a couple of more weeks, GB News is here on the 31st of May. Freeview Channel 236. The test signal is already broadcasting, you may have to re tune your TV.

    @Stewart71608150 😠 We never get any decent sport on Freeview channels any more because of them.

  • HarryPie1862 HarryPie. 🤔 🥀😷 (@HarryPie1862) reported

    All broadcasters are bought, especially the state-owned & Tory party controlled BBC. But when billion pound missiles are directed at bringing down a broadcaster's HQ, your can bet your bottom dollar that broadcaster is less corrupted than others. Al Jazeera news Freeview 235

    @a516digital I'm mystified why they send someone round when I've already established reception is not possible. I watch local TV on sky or freesat no problem!which is for the Thames valley, on freeview its if I'm lucky other wise very weak Anglia or west from swindon.

    @Sotlive @BBCRadioStoke I know which local team will be marooned on Freeview TV, and it won't be Stoke or the Vale. I mean how many people listen to the radio on Freeview? #crewealex the poor relation from next season.

    @charliepick @ABCaustralia 1) So the ABC doesn't pay you a wage? 2) Yep great, so make it opt in. Forcing it on us is my issue. If I miss the news being broadcast on Freeview without the need to sign in why the hell should I need to sign in to watch it through an app 3) no data is safe

    There's a new TV news station on the block starting soon on Freeview etc. GB News. To show your support for a healthy alternative to the usual BBC/ITN/Ch4/Sky News channel, search "New British... " on Facebook
