    @KarmaUnc @GMB @joshwiddicombe Yes, but the BBC is a significant contributor to Arquiva who own the masts. They also support Freeview and Freesat.

    Watching live Freeview for the first time in years and it is hour after hour, dozens of channels full of utter crap. How do people still watch this? Streaming has spoiled me.

  • EMcG67 Eamonn McGuinness (@EMcG67) reported

    @Flintaxe @BBCiPlayer Hello again. I seem to have fixed this issue. I didn't have a TV aerial connected to the back of the TV itself (I use a BT box.) Once I connected to the back of the TV, iplayer worked as it operates via the Freeview Play platform. Hope this works for you.

    @Seraph7th I have only ever seen a couple of minutes of Dog Soldiers. It was on a freeview channel a few months ago. Low budget British horror movie, no thank you. I still harbour 'issues' with low budget British film producers, they didn't want my screenplays, except James Atherton LOL

    @TalkingPicsTV Was it Forces TV who showed them before it shut down I know they've been on TV not so long back as I recorded them on my old Freeview PVR

  • JohnMac92158577 John Macleod (@JohnMac92158577) reported

    I hope I'll still have a tv service to watch once I'm with BT as I think they assume I have freeview when in fact I get tv from freesat through a satellite dish and current broadband provider I swear to god I spoke to someone today who wasn't sure what's in my new order with bt
