    @Wheely73 @bendirs1 Of course...if you have sky or wherever. I read somewhere that the majority of homes in UK don’t even have freeview, never mind sky/cable. What about those folks?

  • thedeadpixel66 Thomas (@thedeadpixel66) reported

    @xxxavier_19 @dopexdiamondss @etherealdeen I never had cable or sky as a child so I always thought it came out in 2013 because that’s when I came out on Freeview

  • ScotRamsay Scot Ramsay (@ScotRamsay) reported

    @lennylaw When you have 6 live TV channels available to all on Freeview, and you show the same thing on 5 channels, and close down the sixth, that's just bollocks.

    On my holiday freeview experience, watching Taskmaster. UK TV isn’t doomed, good ****

  • vinceunlimited Vince (@vinceunlimited) reported

    @jimwaterson At least iPlayer is broadcast via an App on my smart TV therefore gets broadcast as HD. Freeview cannot managed HD on any more than 5 channels and BBC4 ain't one of them. SD is visually poor in big flatscreens

  • OmieAKA Omie (@OmieAKA) reported

    @BrixtonBobbyBob @mandapen Yes. Channel 4 or any of the other Freeview channels people never bother watching. Yes , it sucks that favourite shows were cancelled for the night but folk who say there was nothing else on TV are employing hyperbole.

  • OmieAKA Omie (@OmieAKA) reported

    @andyjhpool @sha8erpr00f @mandapen Not that I'm a fan of the hyperbolic coverage , but almost everyone has either SKY or Freeview , both of which have HUNDREDS of other channels available. But now I can't get grandad off babe station. Damn you BBC !

    @SteelDalek1 And then close down BBC4 to stop you watching that instead! Have they forgotten most people have Freeview, Sky or Virgin to find other programmes on???

  • DecAppear Dylan Canning (@DecAppear) reported

    @rtenews Plenty of alternative channels on the UK freeview service, for anyone who's not interested.

  • nickthegibbons nick gibbons (@nickthegibbons) reported

    @SimonMcCoyTV Aww feel sorry for you, cos I have 300 plus channels on freeview, so got plenty of choice, and Netflix and amazon prime so not really a problem for me...
