  Is Freeview Channel 52 Great! Romance gone 24 hours? was sharing with Great! Romance Mix. Is there anyone stupid enough to check if the channel is broadcasting 24 hours please.

  @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.

  @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.

  The date of Freeview closure will be revealed in November 2026 by the government. 1 Freeview closure in 2034 more likely 2034 because 6G mobile phone signal will kill all relay Transmitters. 2 Freeview closure in 2044 Only main Transmitters can survive until 2044. Your mobile phone is sharing the same frequency as Freeview Mobile phone Frequency UHF 49 to 69 Freeview Frequency UHF 21 to 48 The future 6G mobile phone Frequency would take most of Freeview space in 2034. Freeview Frequency in 2034 would be UHF 21 to 35 that would close all relay Transmitters

  @GBNEWS Problem is Freely isn't free.... You need a broadband connection costing you tens of pounds per month. Where as Freeview and Freesat are actually free to view.

  @MrSugden2 I have never subscribed to any TV packages. It's all Freeview for me (though I understand they're planning to switch it off sometime...)

  @Luke_Jahn_ I am wondering how prepared you are for prison life. internet access is strictly limited. In cell tv is basic Freeview. That does include Channel 4 so Naked Attraction can help while away the lonely evenings.

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

  @JudeNicho @cyclingontnt This... I struggle to watch it in Freeview as the sd pic is awful. Discovery+ seems to have deleted my free account so I could watch the b highlights of giro etc on dmax/quest they had (in HD) And they'll wonder why viewership will rank this year.. 🤷🏻
