    @simesa @cleanfeed_ttvr Won't that HD service be online, though? No capacity on Freeview!

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    ITV is to close its SD service in the West Country for viewers with Sky or Freesat. West Country regional news will only be available in HD. There are no changes on Freeview or Virgin Media.

    @BigJohnnyArcher Didn't LG say that on the 2020 line they had an issue arranging the license agreement with Freeview Play and that they would be adding Freeview Play once they can arrange agreement at a later date ?

  • Davidp1103 Davidp (@Davidp1103) reported from Snodland, England

    Continually frustrated by @TalkTalk and its inconsistent service and performance. Have today purchased a freeview recorder to replace their box and will be actively looking for new broadband provider.

  • BigJohnnyArcher John Archer (@BigJohnnyArcher) reported

    Good news for Brits thinking of buying a 2021 LG TV: after disappearing in 2020, Freeview Play support is back on all of LG’s new webOS TVs.

    @a516digital Oh yes, forgot about this, thats rearing its ugly head, more problems for freeview, com 7 springs to mind here,

  • ARants88 Human. (@ARants88) reported

    @CatharineHoey @GBNEWS Its broadcast on a signal that is airborn. You dont need a subscription or license to openly receive a freely broadcast signal on devices openly sold with the ability to receive it, otherwise you'd have to pay the annual fee when you buy a tv and freeview wouldnt be built in.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital Im talking about bbc on sky and freesat of course, and itv when you know how to tune it in. But this will be good news, i hope it also triggers some form of support for freeview users.

    @SkipperAFC I had a pal who did the usual cancel and wait for them to call him back with the good offer, but they never called him and now he has to watch freeview like he’s an inmate
