    @MarkKen20510303 I wonder how long it will be before they want a TV station on Freeview/Freesat? Ofcom won't mind, they're happy to have rightist lies and hate rammed down people's throats.

    @FreeviewAdvice we seem to have lost our freeview HD channels on all our TVs in PL7, is this a known issue?

  • karkybee karkybee (@karkybee) reported

    @LeeHurstComic sick to death of turning to ch7 freeview expecting to see some true crime documentary and seeing talk @TalkTV on instead..off it goes..viewer figures so bad they have to infiltrate other channels to boost nos? . cuckoo..I don't even know where to fund talk tv otherwise 🙈

    @rdllopes @TankieHater @NadiaInBC RT had considerable reach. It was freely available on freeview/satellite platforms and also online. It was cut in a blatant act of censorship - what were they scared of? People asking questions? The stupid masses being brainwashed? The freedom-loving 'west' should be horrified.

    Oh dear! The #Freeview signal has failed again! It happens every so often. #Newhaven

    So poor I khan only dream freeview 😳

  • greenbenjamin Benjamin Green (@greenbenjamin) reported

    @ITVXhelp @ITVX Thanks, but that’s not a great deal of help as Freeview Play is listed, but just says ‘some devices not supported’. Why would the software not be written to work on devices that might be a few years older but still being sold? Or is it just not been sorted yet?

  • Quoton Brian Campbell (@Quoton) reported from Greenock, Scotland

    @Johnson66892442 @Nick_Metcalfe One thing which may help is that you can go to red button by choosing channel 981 on Sky or 301 on freeview, if you want to avoid iplayer👍

    @GBNEWS 'LIVE now: Sky 512, Virgin 604, Freeview 236, Freesat 216, YouView 236, Samsung 4326, Sky Glass 509, DAB+ Radio, GB News App, YouTube, Online.' And I've never seen one minute. Despite this my Twitter feed is clogged up with your tweets.

    @TheHutchPlay @TalkingPicsTV Looking forward to watching this. But my Freeview recorder is not showing ‘Series Timer Record’ option for this programme - are you able to fix this @TalkingPicsTV ? And if there’s an appetite for classic French TV, how about ‘Aeronauts’ and ‘The Flashing Blade’?
