    @JANUSZCZAK It's free live on Freeview. But you have to find it and record it at the time: there is no catch-up service like iPlayer &c. That's the PITA that makes me with much regret miss most of your stuff. No replay.

    1/3 BBC Scotland HD which broadcast every evening from 7pm on Freeview, moves to channel 106. BBC Four HD, which the BBC is planning to close in 2024, is moved down to channel 108. The move is due to complete around midday on December 14th. Viewers may need to rescan their TV.

    Hi @davechannel @arqiva. Trying to watch Room 101 on Freeview and screen keeps going black at random intervals. Lasts about a second. Other channels are fine, including others on the ARQA mux. So would seem to be Dave specific issue.

    Every UK Hotel: Wi-Fi, gym, spa, swimming pool, six randomly selected Freeview channels including one you've never heard of and will never see again, on site car-parking...

    @danwootton Dan, I want to watch but it seems my Freeview signal is too weak on the GB News channel and no pictures appear. Only on that Channel. Any ideas? Thanks.

    @DavidCockerham Cannot help you David sorry My TV only has freeview built in

    @Honeythedog1 A contract is a contract, if they ramp the price up you can presumably repudiate it and go else where, like NOW, or be like me. I‘ll never take a SKY package. Freeview ( aka Cooncil telly +) , Amazon Prime and Netflix might be a decent low cost bet.

    SO HAPPY that on my tv ITV Freeview is currently in a pixellated meltdown and the telly won’t support live tv on the ITVX app… 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇫🇷@ITV @ITVX 🤯

  • Stroudgreenguy J. Alfred Prufrock (@Stroudgreenguy) reported from Tottenham, England

    @Channel4 Hello. Can I watch Channel 4 *live* through the All 4 app on smart TV? All I see is catchup. I would like to watch CH 4 news every night but my aerial is broken, no Freeview. Please advise.

    @a516digital I personally am happy for an ip future, if and when it finally takes off. But i think the bbc might be too ambitious for 2030. Freeview is a good service where you can get it.
