Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, EnglandOnly 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 π

-
LDH Marketing (@LDHMarketing) reported@BBCLookEast With landlines becoming broadband only, and Freely starting to replace Freeview we are becoming 100% dependent on broadband. That has dangerous implications for resilence if broadband goes down, or worse if you never had adequate broadband at all.
-
Bridie Macmahon (@bbpmac) reported@BBCNews Well without freeview coverage most of us will never know.
-
Cameron Robinson (@Camlowandslow) reported@PeteBritish Freeview is all I have, and broadband. I would never, ever, pay for Sky.
-
Mad as Hell π‘π‘π‘ (@CanDisagree) reported@ryantegan @skytv The majority of the hundreds of channels they offer are standard definition, rolling repeat or Freeview channels. Most movies are on Netflix a month later too. Cancel the lot and get a firestick. It's illegal, but so are Sky's rip off prices.

Jane Fleming (@fleming77) reportedThe government is considering the future of television distribution, which could affect the prospects of the digital terrestrial platform that is marketed at Freeview. and the public service broadcasters that fund it, wants to switch if off by 2034.

Tom (@TomCushnie) reported@mart_stead @SW18_67FC @johnrobinson07 It's not more saturated too, it's shot in a Full Range and de-converted down to Standard 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

Andy The Photo Dr βΏοΈ π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ (@andythephotoDr) reported@Jcaird2 Itβs basically freeview albeit a bit cut down via the internet. We have been fine without aerial anyway and missed nothing we like but it will be nice to flick through stuff again and stumbling on something to watch.

codfish π§Ά (@codfish246) reported@4doorsmorepaws ah that makes sense! never looked into whether freesat got more channels than freeview but i'm assuming it was probably just a signal thing more than anything else lol that sucks π I only remember having to that with analog tv for a while and then I guess we got our aerial fixed

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