    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.

    @basestacking Check Freeview for the terrestrial channels in your area, and retune a couple of times to see if you get more stations. I use a Humax and smart tv so I can record TV programmes, but you should be able to just plug it into your tv. I find non-HD progs get a better signal.

    Freeview is a bit crap at times, no BBC channels at the moment.

    @braambles We have freeview and an elderly 1998 vintage audi. You're talking rubbish. I bet you still support the tories.

    Anyone in Guernsey having problems with Freeview?

  • IanTats Ian Tats (@IanTats) reported

    @GBNEWS Sad story, but if he already owed £1400 the recent price rises aren't the cause of his problem. He also has a sky TV remote, perhaps switch to freeview as a start.....

  • don_mac D Mac (@don_mac) reported

    @hairychesters Our only saving grace is that its on Freeview 785 or something - no ****** watches it all the Gammons have to wade through 5 channels of WW2 docs and Bargain hunt to get to it the temptation to never reach it is too high!

  • murcanpolitics 'Murcan Politics (@murcanpolitics) reported

    @TheWestonMike @JohnJCrace @gordonrlove Ah, yeah you so need a license to watch Freesat or Freeview live. Not if you watch All4 though. That's a streaming service which you don't need a license for. My bad.

    @janmicham @RobertCooksley3 @lionelbarber It'll remain free to view but it'll be an emaciated stick figure showing 30 year old repeats of Countdown. Have a look down the Freeview TV guide for what this brave new world looks like.
