    @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.

  • 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.

    @johnredwood They were all shite this Christmas not everyone as sky or subscription tv so are relying on normal/ freeview so I very poor show from them.

  • Anupsetwoman An Upset Woman (@Anupsetwoman) reported

    Is there some reason only the @ITV 2 freeview signal keeps breaking up every evening? It's unwatchable and I've retuned the TV several times already.

  • JoeBloggs400 Joe Bloggs (@JoeBloggs400) reported

    The main problem here is the huge plethora of films on the normal freeview tv or the normal tv somewhat hampering my progress through the films I want to watch on the blu-rays etc well on paramount+ they're getting in the ******* way.I watched oppenheimer on bbc2 yesterday.

  • MaryPeevers Mary Peevers (@MaryPeevers) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice In 2036 approx when a future government switches off Freeview, will we need to buy ‘Smart’ TVs to watch the proposed internet service? If not, how will we watch internet tv on our current TVs? I watch terrestrial television, not satellite. @DCMS #savefreeview

  • Steven59066 Steven Dawson (@Steven59066) reported

    @BethUndressed Accidents do happen, don't they beth, it was such a shame that both babestation and babenation on freeview channels 673 and 674 never came back on, X me back

  • Bartlet27722793 Richard Bartlett (@Bartlet27722793) reported

    @GhostOfCorkey @DeathlyAcorn @KayBurley It was the case that radio rights came with the combined TV licence. But not anymore, except perhaps if you only listen to the radio via FreeView, satellite or cable. TVLicensing confirms this in their FAQs. What is better than BBC that you do watch please? Or just nothing live and never BBC, not even on-demand/catch-up?? --Genuinely interested.

  • poshsimon Poshsimon :) (@poshsimon) reported

    @LGUKCare The challenges on this LG TV are many: no freeview play or freely, the horrible remote control is difficult to use, the difficulty switching sources, popups appear for no apparent reason to do something, etc #Fail @lguk @johnlewishelp

  • TobyHadoke Toby Hadoke (@TobyHadoke) reported

    John Levene has asked me to point everyone in the direction of the channel U&Eden (Freeview: Channel 57/Freesat: Channel 160) which is showing a bumper Benton package today : The Time Monster and The Three Doctors. Not a bad way to spend Boxing Day.

  • finneyzair Gary Finney Zair (@finneyzair) reported

    @Dis_PPL_Protest Part of the BBC licence fee helps to maintain the freeview service.
