    @UBn9ohogz0XOFWP @GBNEWS To watch I need a TV license, a freeview signal or Sky subscription, and an HD TV. I don't have any of those. Oh, and even if I had Sky I would have to pay extra for GB News

    To continue if I switch to. "freeview", my TV is fine on the same channels that Virgin is refusing to play properly. This has been ongoing for 4/5 days now. Yet you own chech status is not showing any issues.

    @CourtTV Wtf has happened to the UK feed on Freeview?

  • MarkBoreham3 Mark Boreham (@MarkBoreham3) reported

    With a bit of warm weather and a terrible signal on BBC channels on Freeview it's no wonder people are ditching this outdated medium for on demand services. I'd rather watch YouTube than standard TV now.

    @LarryBundyJr Neither of them carrying the Freeview signal then?

    @CourtTVUK Why have you taken Court TV from Freeview? It says ‘service closed’? Is it now only available on pay platforms such as Sky/Freesat? Neither are totally free, for FreeSat you need a box and dish. Freeview is available to all. Can’t understand why youclosed it?

    @martiansurvivor Hi, Freeview TV requires an active aerial connection to receive our service, unfortunately, this is the only way to get the TV channels via Freeview. You may be able to find something online for a different provider. Thanks, Dev.

    Only real gripe about motel: the TV is increasingly useless for Freeview when more channels (both HD and SD) are using MPEG-4. Which kinda shows the age of the TV. But at ~$90 a night, it's a very small complaint.

    @Cowgirl_Em Do you see the 'weak or lost signal' when viewing freeview channels? Cheers, Andy

    @TrilbeeReviews Statistic for you courtesy of Creative Diversity Network highlighted by freeview in a FB post today.. 4.7% of all lead roles are given to black actors. Black people represent 3.5% pf the UK population if I recall.. So over represented perhaps?
