    @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

    I'm a pay-lite TV consumer (Freeview + no-contract streaming). I've never consider contract TV packages to be worth the expense. As streaming services multiply & get more expensive, I'm trying to narrow down what I subscribe to.

    @LoyalDefender2K Punish them by switching to @GBNEWS . Freeview Channel 236...... test signal up now.

    @chris__schulz @TVNZ I never use TVNZ on demand because Freeview on demand is better with the same content

  • hugh_canning Padre Ugo Can’t Be Expected to Live in a Skip 😬🙄 (@hugh_canning) reported

    @davemacladd I never get past 56 on my Freeview Channel guide 😈

  • FactsStomp Phil's Retro Life #retro (@FactsStomp) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV Should this programme have series link as it has 12 parts? Or if it has then it doesn't work on Freeview and I've had to wait for the guide to update and set next weeks episode. Also this is a wonderful serial the MST3K version is great as always.

  • djbradshaw64 Dave Bradshaw 💙 #IhavehadOxfordAZvaccine (@djbradshaw64) reported

    @docrussjackson When it launches I’m gonna post instructions per service (Freeview, Sky, Virgin etc) to block it.

  • djtr14 JNAR (@djtr14) reported

    @revtrev6 @GBNEWS Unfortunately 236 is not transmitted around here as confirmed by Freeview. Also many other parts of the country. Big city -good, countryside - bad. Hoping for online broadcast.
