    @FreeviewAdvice Hi, I’m struggling to get a consistent signal when watching BBC One and BBC Two on my Freeview box. I even retuned my box and changed regions and that hasn’t solved the problem. Could you please look into if BBC transmitters are experiencing issues? Thank you.

    @LouLCC Eurosport used to be on freeview so maybe worth a check. The lad who passed was best friends with a girl 2 doors down from us and he was always in their garden, didn't know him, but when they passed they always said hello. Very sad as seems he was pushed and couldn't swim 😭😭
