    @syd_rochelle Ok, I see you asked this 8 years ago, and have almost certainly found out since then but I can't help responding... the answer is yes, yes they did! And it's now back on TV, on Freeview, on 'Forces TV'. Enjoy!

  • moseleyjules Julie (@moseleyjules) reported

    @chris_hawkins @BBC6Music The Freeview app I use says you're on at 5am and 1pm. I used to work split shifts years ago but never one that tough! 😳

  • MaffyBoon MF (@MaffyBoon) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice retuning does nothing.. no channels! Looking at the local forums many people are experiencing the same. Can you comment on actual service status in the SG11 area? Information on tuning my Freeview box is useless if there are no services...

    @CarrieAHarper @thebarryhorns Don't even know where to find it! Never even searched. Is it on Freeview?

    @joti261 @Nigel_Farage @GBNEWS STUPID!! GB News is not a satellite channel; it is free to air on Freeview.

    @RebeccaHBM I’ve had no signal for TV since they changed to Freeview, so for approx 15 years I’ve had to pay for Sky. I don’t live in a little country village, I live in Barrow in Furness. We get our signal from IOM which is bounced off Winterhill, but not available here

    @BritBox_UK 'Streaming now, only on Britbox'. You do understand that the vast majority of the British viewing population do not watch Britbox. Should stream it on a Freeview Channel. Viewing figures would quadruple. I personally have never watched this 'new' version. Ca ne fait rien

    @Forces_TV @MakingBlakes7 @GerryAndersonTV If only I could get your channel on freeview in our neighbourhood 😥. Your signal hamsters need to spin their wheels a bit harder!
