    @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

    @Ozcan1945 @karl1953howman Unfortunely there is no more capacity left on freeview for this channel to return. The reason for the closure of Forces tv, were down to cost, Arqiva who owns the transmitters, need to encourage broadcasters to switchover from DVB T to DVB T 2 and bring cost down.

    @markfrommellor @BBCOne Let’s not forget - the viewing figures for Wimbledon - is that just figures for viewing from platforms like Freeview/Sky? If so, how many more watched on iPlayer and services like Red Button? We’ll never know though…

  • rugbyleagueontv RugbyLeagueonTV.com (@rugbyleagueontv) reported

    FreeSports will be removed from the Freeview service tomorrow. I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes Premier Sports 3 before September.

  • dave1966uk dave1966uk 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 (@dave1966uk) reported

    @FreeviewTV Now next to useless. Lost CBS Drama to RealityXtra which is not available now in my area (Dover). Freeview says use Internet - newsflash - not everyone in the countryside has useable Internet. BT quoted me £143,000 .... No mobile signal either.

  • frankensteirer yoo hoo (@frankensteirer) reported

    @Ofcom @mother_pukka @NicenNeetz we have to lose freeview channels to make other companies richer ee offerings was poor as it was losing more channels more repeats why are regulators doing this? If its not you letting bt overpopulate openreach lines it's other regulators letting energy prices disgustingly soar

  • X_eON X_eON (@X_eON) reported

    Where the **** has bbc news hd gone on freeview... made way for bbc3? lmao what a joke.

  • stormy_uk stormyuk (@stormy_uk) reported

    @MarkSanderson52 @FreeviewTV Agreed. Remove the dross channels and retain HD services. We are not using CRTs and it's no longer the 1990s. It's 2022 and the premier news channel on Freeview looks as bad as Sky News in SD now. Unwatchable unless you want to go blind. Thankfully BBC News HD is still on Astra.

  • ThatsTVOfficial That's TV (@ThatsTVOfficial) reported

    @Michael11923873 Yes, some areas of the UK including Humber will be able to receive both our local service (on channel 7 or 8) and our national services (on channel 65 and 91) on Freeview from tomorrow. These are all SD services. Pass on the message: Retune 30 June!

  • lookoutwales2 Gareth Joy (@lookoutwales2) reported

    @eljonesuk *faints* P.S. Sorry to see FreeSports close on Freeview (even though they always cut out your stuff on the rugby league replays!)

  • elizofbeth mr pither (@elizofbeth) reported

    Kurtsworld hats only ship to the usa. Hellraiser has been taken from me. Horror channel is gone and the new one aint on freeview. Grace is putting on family guy yet again Will my wounds never be allowed to heal …
