    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 😂

    @OlooneyJohn Our freeview doesnt even work. Can never get all the channels, they seem to go missing and the signal often drops out.

    @SW18_67FC @johnrobinson07 It's not more saturated too, it's shot in a Full Range and de-converted down to Limited Range to fit in our poor freeview infrastructure, it makes red and yellows considerably crushed. That's why the Holland game looked the worse so far

    I have never missed watching terrestrial TV, it won't be a big leap to also cancel Freeview. I'll just read even more.

    @TheStingisBack Last time I saw this film (Time After Time 1979) was in 1990's. Never shown on Freeview channels since then unfortunately!

    The BBC freeview digital signal is so bad in Devon Pixilated on & off then a complete loss during the England game? All other channels bar BBC2 worked fine. Had to watch on the laggy BBCi player that was also problematic. I paid for this service. Piss poor service.

    @yellowhairdpunk How? Shits on ITV. They have replays literally on the "on demand" app. Yes, the showings aren't live, that sucks, but you can absolutely follow AEW watching regular *** freeview and getting PPV's.

It remains on Freeview (for now) but is said to be suffering financial problems.

    @NotFarLeftAtAll All part of controlling us. I don’t have TV packages only Freeview & my internet is bad so don’t watch much anyway, barely anything in summer. Unfair for the elderly.

    Precisely and if the BBC want to discontinue running the freeview service and save money on upkeep of the transmitters why do we have to pay the licence fee. If you decide to only watch non BBC live channels online which you pay for by having broadband then the licence is wrong.

    I bet you haven't even read the info where they're thinking about scrapping all freeview channels. And so to watch TV it'll all be paid online service - that you need ID for! Join the dots.
