    @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

    @BigJohnnyArcher Didn't LG say that on the 2020 line they had an issue arranging the license agreement with Freeview Play and that they would be adding Freeview Play once they can arrange agreement at a later date ?

    @Simon_OW Wasn't it terrible? It was like something you'd see on an obscure Freeview channel, not the platform with the biggest original content budget in the world.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital Im talking about bbc on sky and freesat of course, and itv when you know how to tune it in. But this will be good news, i hope it also triggers some form of support for freeview users.

    ITV is to close its SD service in the West Country, Yorkshire and Central East regions for viewers with Sky or Freesat. These regional news services will only be available in HD. There are no changes on Freeview or Virgin Media.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @scotthatley @a516digital @ukdtt Freeview is very poor under the relay service, if they decide to bring in an ip fallback option, that should be there first priority,

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital In my current location freeview is only possible when we get tropospheric lift conditions, and that never always provides the right transmitter, we get swamped out, the local mast, is oxford, but were behind huge trees at the bottom of a hill etc.

    @GBNEWS The problem with being on Freeview is we need a licence to watch it and therefore have to fund the BBC.
