    @GBNEWS @thecoastguy No doubt a stupid question but do you have to have a Freeview TV & if you don't what is the device I need to get?

    @FreeviewAdvice My freeview reception has been playing up last night and this morning. It seems to be okay now but yeah its been a bit up and down in Milton Keynes.

    @JolyonMaugham I must set up a favourites list on Freeview so that channel 236 never gets offered here.

    @NOWMusic Thank god its only for a short time, my sky dish won't pick up Now80's, its on one of the dodgy low frequencies, really going to miss it until its back on Freeview, you need to fix that sky frequency.
