  @evenskate566 Both of us loathe Richard Curtis comedy films, essentially due to the fact they're slushy Freeview crap.

  @MarnellRoi53898 @setantaspup Oh didn’t know that, guess you need a satellite or cable service to get it. Not available on Irish Freeview (Soarview) which makes sense. Would imagine a large %tage of Irish homes subscribe to a service that gives them access to the Beeb anyway.

  @readysetdrone I was really intrigued by the stitching issue you found closer to objects too. How possible is it to create a 360 video to YouTube with this drone? Where you can freeview rather than export a perspective.

  Only the Brits could reach the top tier of world ice hockey and then have literally zero channels bother showing their games. Proper GB support: ‘We’ll die on the beaches… but not on Freeview, mate. Just pay €30 for the official stream like a proper mug.’

  @dskiuk2 @Danrocsky76 @cordbusters I went Paris last year and our tv where we stayed was through through aerial, 50 odd channels and every single one of the was HD. Freeview now is terrible in 2026, full of shovelware channels and hardly any HD channels, SD channels look awful as well.

  @kenton1206 I did the same with Virgin Mafia. It was going up to £90 for little more than Freeview and ok broadband. Swapped to a Cityfibre service (small firm based in Worthing even though I live in Peterborough) and bought a Netgem Plieo. Less than half the cost, should’ve done it sooner.

  @the_saffman @TheDoctorMagic @AlanJLSmith Not any more. However, BBC World Service is available in the UK on Freeview, so it's not as if you're paying for something you can't listen to, unlike when it was funded through taxation. Plus cable and satellite operators abroad also pay to carry it.
