    @dancludlow Never thought of it even. Not that worried, there'll be a solution. It supposedly has Freesat & Freeview on it. Will have to try to get D's son out here, if he ever stays still, he'll know! TV is 2020 model, hardly top of the range but good enough for me.

    @persiarainn I think I heard of that too which is really abusive and horrible to do, especially towards a child actor. I remember Pop too (but we didn't even have that on freeview and was introduced to that when my sibling got sky freesat upstairs) and got into that channel before (1)

    @m1ctk @DaveMor16686271 @GBNEWS That's a shame. Why don't they broadcast in HD on freeview? SD looks like crap.

  • JulianRadbourne Julian Radbourne (@JulianRadbourne) reported from Cromer, England

    @UKTVPlay Will the first episode of series 5 of Waiting for God be on the catch-up service? Can't find it on either Sky+ or Freeview.

    Scrubs and Gilmore Girls. And One Tree Hill. The shows I loved as a teenager (we had analogue to I was 14, then freeview, dial up internet to a similar age, then very poor broadband. It took like x3 the length of a video on YouTube to load. No data pick up & almost no signal).

  • terryphi Terry Phillips (@terryphi) reported

    @GBNews Bad news: I hear that those of us in rural areas who receive our Freeview signal from relay transmitters will not be able to view GBNews.

  • leftyBrighton Lefty from Brighton (@leftyBrighton) reported from Hove, England

    @BBCNews I for one won't be retuning my Freeview for this crap.

    @arabforlife83 Assume bt tv box is connected to internet hub by ethernet. That’s what your bt sport comes down. Tv channels (Freeview) come via aerial. Connect aerial from wall socket into box, then aerial out from box to tv. For aerial signal to pass through to tv, need pass through setting on

    Is "GREAT! movies" a new channel on Freeview? I've never noticed it ever before. Ah well! "Signs" is on! 👽

    @FreeviewAdvice You see @GBNEWS it’s a post code lottery with Freeview , whose shareholders are BBC and ITV. The divide in service is appalling years since digital switchover and they don’t care to improve. Make your own app please!
