    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

    @jdpoc I really hope Freeview (+ Freesat) never get axed. 1) We need a backup when internet or digital providers go down 2) Freely is subscription TV via the backdoor. You need to pay for monthly internet service to receive it. 3) Internet is not geographically accessible everywhere

    i hope TNA pulls back somehow, also hope they put their foot down about this WWE partnership, be it gaining something from them or just cutting the tie entirely TNA has a special place in my heart since i wasnt able to watch wwe without sky sports and they were on freeview 😔

    The 1970s : "Those were the Days" on Freeview : What really pisses me right off is most of the ******** spouting off total bullshite about the 1970s weren't even born so why don't they get a proper job and stop making themselves look like a superior *******.

    @FreeviewAdvice transmitter fault with Weaverthorpe transmitter since power cut yesterday. No BBC channels except HD, and no BBC radio channels on freeview. 2 TVs, signal checked, retuned, other channels unaffected, others report same issue

    @MatthewRimmer @MockTheWeek In Wales its Freeview channel 12, I believe Sky has a different channel down in the hundreds.

    It looks like QVC shopping channel is in financial in trouble? It's QVC made life hard for Freeview from beginning for refusing having shopping channels in one place. If QVC goes bust Freeview will be celebrating and get back channel 16?

    @0xsimmo @MattSaysFingz @darrengrimes No, not all of it. ~86% funds BBC TV/radio/iPlayer/online services. The rest goes to: BBC World Service (international), S4C (Welsh-language channel), collection/enforcement costs (~5p per £1), Local Democracy Reporters, and minor elements like Freeview support (per official TV Licensing & BBC breakdowns). S4C alone gets ~£100m of the £3.8bn+ collected.

    @ArthurSteggles @craig100 @jdpoc Neither of which many people have, I don't myself as it happens. So people who only want to watch a few "freeview" channels will have to spend loads more money than they ever have before to watch the same old ****
