    @BoostTorbay @AndrewBrazier1 Never used the first two options. Very much old school. None of the fancy pants Sky or Virgin Media either. Just plain old Freeview for me

    @GetLustCast @nad8348 @grandi_fan Yup, they got me it. It was shite, I think someone joked why do you need it after the 15 minute freeview. I’d stick a vhs in to record it from midnight to 4am only to find half of that **** was some ****** talk show with fat old **** Derek Botham and annoying **** Eric Hall

  • michael_b95 M B (@michael_b95) reported

    @HughesOnAir Oh no Howard the end of your show was cut off (on freeview TV at least). Didn't get to hear how to support the show?

    @yanto007 @S4Cchwaraeon English commentary will be available on the Red Button on Freeview. Any issues on the day get back to us.

    I hear so many people wanting a blue tick. I had one in 2002, it wasnt fun. Blue tick is of course a prolonged twitch you get after finishing yourself during the 10 minute freeview in a computer seat. Never going back there again.

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    I notice the Red Button text service isn't functioning on Freeview, Winter Hill transmitter.

    @FreeviewAdvice over the last 4/5 days I have lost a large number of Freeview channels, despite having repeatedly retuned I can't get them back and not sure what has happened, can you help please? - i'm covered by the Sandy Heath transmitter

  • a516digital Mike (@a516digital) reported

    Among the areas due to get BBC One HD Freeview regionalisation is North East England, where the back-up sat feed supplying relays with a signal following the Bilsdale transmitter incident has BBC One NE&C HD ready to go.

    @orelduderino @Danlassman Is your TV remote broken? at least 200+ channels to choose from on Freeview (900+ if your lucky)

  • Daverjr David_bythesea (@Daverjr) reported

    @paraman31 @DrHoenderkamp Even digital TVs when they need a rescan can cause issues. I help a handful of people out with this task when their freeview tv or box doesn’t auto update…many don’t.
