    @BenJohn45874515 Freeview is a very patchy service, and what you get very much depends on where you live, if you live near a relay for example you only get around 20 channels, if its a transmitter you get around 70, or half what you get off freesat or the free channels on sky.

    @a516digital @TalkingPicsTV announced they were moving on Freeview a few weeks back. The moral here is never put your channel numbers on your merchandise. My beanie hat will be out of date 😢

  • BBCNottingham BBC Radio Nottingham (@BBCNottingham) reported

    Due to technical issues, transmission via 103.8FM may be affected between 12pm and 2pm today. But don't worry! You can still listen to BBC Radio Nottingham online, on Freeview, or by tuning over to DAB 📻 We're sorry for any inconvenience caused.

    There’s a wee freeview Telly app on my playstation with all these made up channels. One of them plays most haunted all day on a loop, and does anyone know how to cancel sky?

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    Fog! Temperature Inversion! Weird things may happen to your Freeview signal tonight and tomorrow. Don't retune! (Unless your hobby is DXing and you want to see if you can get some out-of-region/foreign services.)

    Virgin Media prices going up again, MUCH MORE than the rate of inflation (again). For the same old **** that no-one watches. I'm leaving. Freeview will do now.
