    @imbadatlife Crap script writing and not on Freeview but some TvBox thing that nobody is interested in.

  • LEJenksBrown L E Jenks-Brown ✏️🏺🖊 (@LEJenksBrown) reported

    Help. @Legend__Channel has disappeared from our sitting room tv (but not our bedroom tv?) and it’s pretty much all we watch at this point. We also had it on Freeview 69, not 41 as officially listed - neither of those channels even now exist on our tv. Mystified.

    @TrippyPip @DreyfusJames QVC TV is a rabbit hole I never wish to go down again lol Thank goodness I no longer have freeview type tv!

  • imalexwatson Alex Watson (@imalexwatson) reported

    @BartholomewJill @ITVChannelTV We've not heard anything yet, sorry! It's about 4,000 homes which receive their Freeview signal from La Collette which are affected.

    @kasey__moore @EntStrategyGuy Freeview & Freesat are anti streaming & free btw besides they’re operating more differently than subchannel networks that mostly only carry classic tv shows. Britain treats TV as a different marketplace & more of a public service than a tech ceo doing charity work in Jackson, MS

    @MillieMatters @GaryLineker Well it was useful advice. It's not my problem that you decide not to act on it. So, you're not forced to pay a licence fee. You choose to so you can watch Freeview. You have internet on your phone that you can tether to another device btw.

  • 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

    @bbcburnsy sounds like the lads heads are remaining positive, even though 0-1 down. Unlike previous gamez... Come on lads you can do this. ( listening on freeview and sound cuts out occasionally).
