  • darrksquid Kate🇪🇺 (@darrksquid) reported from Bonnyrigg, Scotland

    Ok, Peanut Gallery, what is a decent news/current events show available on Freeview that I can watch for 15 minutes in the morning before work with my cereal? I can't do Piers Morgan, and BBC Breakfast IS pretty poor, I'll admit.

    @HumanityReality @TonyTcrawley666 @voodude64 There is. They are all availble on their own streaming apps like iPlayer All4 etc. What Kapang did was aggregate them all into one place. I had a look and their other channels are still working, just not the Freeview ones. This makes me suspect its a legal issue.

    @FreeviewAdvice My Freeview has been down all day. Tried retuning, but no joy. I'm in the Reading area.

    @Stop_The_Panic @Icky_84 Hi, The best way to find out is it may have the Freeview logo on the back of the TV. Otherwise, you can google your make and model number of the TV or contact the manufacturer for further support. Thanks, Dev.

    @BermondseySE16 @AlStewartOBE @GBNEWS Try removing your aerial from your TV, returned without the aerial, then put aerial back in and retune again. See if that works. If not, go on freeview website for extra help.
