    @afneil @GBNEWS Not all parts of U.K. will be able to receive the channel using freeview. Just so people wondering where it is don’t spend 3wks trying to fix or replace their tv or freeview box. Other chs also fall victim this rotten system. Also available on sky/freesat/cable.

    Would literally be better of watching a stream than trying to persevere with my freeview signal going down more often than an Amsterdam **********. Come on England! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

    @Liv_Lever @GBNEWS And my broadband is down. I hope @GBNews is on a Freeview frequency that can cope with hot weather (looking at you BBC).

  • mexisme telinit 6 (@mexisme) reported

    @jonoabroad If you get a Vodafone set-top box, you can also subscribe to Sky. However, you can change or cancel the service(s) month-by-month. TBF, the Voda set-top box is quite good c.f. the competition; works fine on Freeview, streaming services (incl. NZ ones).

    Hi @twitch community, I was to stream some matches from the Euro 2020 on twitch (2 min time delay). I know there are problems when it comes to Sky TV and other PAY TV but this is actually BBC on freeview. Is it possible or still not allowed? Please Help
