  • Marcooni Marcooni (@Marcooni) reported

    Never get bored of watching 'Foul Play' with Goldie Hawn, Chevy Chase, Dudley Moore and Billy Barty. Just started on Talking Pictures TV, Freeview ch 81

  • SimonDelafield Simon Delafield (@SimonDelafield) reported

    @talkRADIO @calvinrobinson @PatrickChristys As I understand it, the argument is that because of poor broadband the BBC can’t move to a Netflix like service at this time. But it could be a subscription platform on Freeview - they already exist. It doesn’t need to be on broadband to be a subscription service.

    @FreeviewAdvice my Freeview as lost channels . Carried out a retune but still channels missing including ITV. Is there a problem in South East ?

  • ian0nai Ian McClure (@ian0nai) reported from Ayrshire, Scotland

    @DarcyLloydJoyce @guardiannews Was the best, they've been running it down, watch Sky Arts disappear from Freeview once BBC4 is out the way.

  • LukaMoric14 Brian (@LukaMoric14) reported

    @shattenstone Totally agree Lots of great arts programmes over the years Will they find a home elsewhere or quietly disappear? Has the BBC seen Sky Arts channel on Freeview and thought, that's it, we don't need to bother anymore? Is it the new DG plan to dumb down?
