    @TogetherukTV when I retuned freeview I get data service message when I click on Channel 83

  • SteveinGX Steve (@SteveinGX) reported

    Really sad that Forces TV is no longer on Freesat or Freeview. Only available to service personnel now. Makes you wonder what's about to kick off in Eastern Europe and Scandinavia that the general public won't be able to watch

  • D_Hollingsworth Dan Hollingsworth (@D_Hollingsworth) reported from Rickmansworth, England

    When did BBC4 HD. Leave Freeview? What a load of ****, missed a chunk of #TOTP and joining it late with Michael ruddy Jackson.

    @ukdtt @Forces_TV Amazing how many are moaning over the closure of ForcesTV - Do they not realise there are DVD's of almost all the series they watched on that channel? Close Freeview down completely, move to Freesat which will always have more channel capacity anyway, Freeview has become a JOKE

    @grandwaz000 @BBCNews They are slowly killing off broadcast tv you are correct just look at the 10 freeview tv channels that are due to be shut down to make way for 5G.

  • SequentialX Matt (@SequentialX) reported

    So BBC News HD is no longer on Freeview. Pretty much the only channel I actually watch live. This sucks.

    @LeoLem54321 @SkyNews You need to be covered by a TV Licence if you watch live TV on any channel or TV service - such as ITV Hub, All 4, YouTube, Sky, Virgin, BT, Freeview, Amazon Prime Video, Now TV - on any device.

    @Ofcom Who’s stupid idea was it to get rid of BBC news HD on Freeview it’s 2022 and we have to watch news in grainy SD

  • ArtNita1 ArtNita (@ArtNita1) reported

    @tvukzone I really don't want to see thus turn into another Freeview channel when 10 have just been shut down 😕

    @FreeviewTV Now next to useless. Lost CBS Drama to RealityXtra which is not available now in my area. Freeview says use Internet - newsflash - not everyone in the countryside has useable Internet. BT quoted me £143,000 .... No mobile signal either.
