    @TheCryptoSniper CoT report flashing long also…any chance for a freeview update to cover this soon? Think we could be due for some nice pops in altcoins??? Feeling short term bullish myself enough to make a quick buck before down only starts again.

    My Freeview signal is crap tonight.

  • johnsouthwales johnsouthwales (@johnsouthwales) reported

    even though a video recorder or a dvd recorder with built in freeview is capable of receiving a TV signal (it has to have a signal to be able to record a programme) using that to playback requires no licence

  • ITVChannelTV ITV Channel News (@ITVChannelTV) reported

    📺 JERSEY FREEVIEW UPDATE 📺 ITV, C4 and C5 are currently still off-air for around 4,000 homes that receive Freeview from a mast at La Collette. As Channel TV does not operate the transmitter, we're unable to confirm a timescale for when the full service will be restored. (1/2)

    @jenbren1976 Nope. I’m on Freeview, and had no problems. I noticed C4 News wasn’t live-streaming though, at 7-8pm

  • DougMcfarlane59 Douglas Mcfarlane (@DougMcfarlane59) reported

    I actually like this Renault unit. Comfy, great night heater, DAB radio, small Samsung TV with working Freeview (more channels than my home TV) fridge, microwave only thing I don't like is the windows in the door panel for seeing cyclist the curtains don't drop that far down
