    @BustedSpyke @BBC I thought the Red Button on BBC was free? I'm guessing it is if you have freeview on your TV but how'd you get to watch that on a laptop / mobile device? As for the online commentary, I've got the same problem as I'm just on the edge of 95.5FM's area 🤬

    @MartinSLewis On "freeview" it is the American channels who have the worst record for not providing sub titles

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    @EvanD @cleanfeed_ttvr @Channel4 It is. C4 usually carry two subtitle feeds. One teletext feed and one DVB subtitle feeds. Sky boxes still support teletext (even if subtitles is the only application left) Freesat devices support DVB subtitles only (same as Freeview incidentally).

    @SianJasper I only do Freeview but it’s interesting what’s shown and what isn’t. I have never seen Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing. I recently watched a documentary on Black Hollywood - never even heard of half of the films.

    @prkirkley We never get those here! Not sure why but we only get about 90% of Freeview on our transmitter, so there are a few channels we don't get (CBeebies HD and Freesports too). Maybe they're also the most likely to go down elsewhere?

    @jasonpeacock8 @arqiva Compensation for what? A service you don't even pay for in the first place, you don't pay for Freeview, the clue is in the name. As you have Virgin Media you still have access to live TV so are not due any sort of refund.

    @pjgoodman @HammerGothic Have still never seen it 🤦🏻 Don’t have Freeview so can’t join in 😭

  • JustineClaire65 Justine Carroll 🇬🇧 (@JustineClaire65) reported

    @Murphofrompres1 @GBNEWS I see. I haven't changed the way I watch @GBNews though. We have aerial issues and don't get good reception on freeview. I may try again now though as that was at the start.

    @greatmoviesuk I've rescanned my Freeview box and my Freeview TV, but I can't get the Christmas channel, I'm in Kent, please help as I want my Christmas movie fix!

    @S4C @Geraint2019 Hi, I've been having exactly the same issue, watching it on freeview as well.
