    cbbc shutting down is kind of sad for nostalgia reasons and cause that was like one of a handful of channels kids could watch on freeview

  • colinwibbley Colin Wibbley (@colinwibbley) reported

    Is it true the BBC are shutting down Radio 4 Extra? That channel (automated jukebox of old Radio 4/2 spoken word content) costs next to nothing to keep on DAB/Freeview.

    @OGDuckington Part of job should be live on lowest income, in poor housing, no car, freeview, no restaurants etc and live that way for 1 month, preferably in the winter months.

  • eloiseaa728 eloise angharad (@eloiseaa728) reported

    @kennysmith21 @beffybadbelly No, on widely available freeview (i.e not on the local mux where tinypop lives) there are two: Pop (Arq A) and CITV (SDN), under the impression only CITV is in a similar market (age group) and is not a particularly good service… There is a reason CBBC dominates.

    @RespectIsVital @BBC I was lucky enough to have freeview throughout growing up and it's saddening that other generations won't.... Idk if this could be any help at all but perhaps a dvd player. You can get dvds pretty cheap at charity shops and library's. It won't be the same obviously but may help

  • Pic889 Dimitris (@Pic889) reported

    @gerardjasper This begs the question: Since you can't receive the entirety of BBC's broadcasts through generic DVB-T2 equipment (you need a special "Freeview HD" receiver), why not encrypt the service and give subscribers a CAM module to watch it? Let's see how many really want to pay for it.

  • Enlightenmentor Steve Cowie 🌠 (@Enlightenmentor) reported

    @TalkTV Is there any reason why your Freeview transmission is so poor quality? It looks like YouTube 240P25 upscaled.

  • RainbowChazer Music is my first love. And it will be my last. (@RainbowChazer) reported

    @stuffierescue Disconnect on Thursday, reconnect on Friday? We were without internet for weeks here, and Freeview too as the TV aerial was broken. Have I told human about the 6 month hassle to get £25 out of British Telecom because I was moving out of area although staying with them?

  • 1066shrimprail SHRIMP - Hastings (@1066shrimprail) reported

    Anyone else finding that DAVE and W channels on freeview are suffering from really annoying blackout screens? (Have retuned x2 so not the set).
