    @MediaBoyUK GB News on Freeview 236 & Murdoch's new Talk TV on Freeview 237 from 25 April would probably help both channels...? 🤔

    @ouestlesamuel @RacingFlamingo Imagine blocking me, I didn’t know until this reply. Shows you the mentality we’re dealing with. Spiteful and never happy with a dash of jealousy. Subscribe to a racing channel if freeview isn’t good enough. Yes I agree. They’ve brought excellent coverage. No issues 👍🏻👌🏻

  • MRSM1TH888 🌎🏇🏻GALLOWGLASS 🏇🏻🌏 (@MRSM1TH888) reported

    @RacingFlamingo Heard it for years about Channel 4. Heard it for years about ITV since they took over. Mute and just watch the races. The day racing isn’t on freeview tv it’ll do big damage. The producer and team call the “shots”. It’s entertainment not a stand alone racing channel specific.

    @SkyHelpTeam I was on normal Freeview TV and watch @SkyNews and it just went off twice but it is back now. Sorry tagged the wrong service

    @Centuries_Sound @scottygb I always wonder why on earth the BBC doesn't use one or more of the Freeview channels to broadcast programs from its archive. There are hundreds of wonderful old shows that never get seen. Wasted opportunity 🙁

    Frankly Freeview has been run like our train network with us now still predominantly stuck in SD and closing HD muxes whilst the rest of the world is moving on to 4K.

    @antonyrayworth @virginmedia I pay £135 and had the same mate I waited on the phone 50min to cancel it and they don’t give a **** they said drop the sports, HD AND 3 of the MULTIROOMs and you only have to pay £89. So that’s internet and Freeview???

  • jwfamilylaw Julie Watts (@jwfamilylaw) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi problems with Freeview dipping in and out and ‘No Signal’ in Dorking - is it a transmitter issue? Any help gratefully received

  • RarityFusion LaqdBack2 (retired acc) (@RarityFusion) reported

    more like imdabitch, because imdbtv was a streaming service and now its freevee. what, is this a freeview ripoff?

  • NeilNeilasher Neil Asher (@NeilNeilasher) reported

    @SpoonWilsons @BBCNews No, not everyone. Anyone with Sky, Virgin, et al, would already have a box they could subscribe via. We all got STBs when the analogue signal was turned off, so we could get Freeview. How else can they police the, new, non-licence-fee era that starts in a few years time?
