    @_yowwwww Reminds me of my freeview recorder which, due to my bad signal, refuses to record a bunch of stuff

    The other issue with the @bbceurovision geoblock is in normal years, the semis are on BBC Three; not available in HD in Scotland or Wales on Freeview. So these viewers have no way to watch in HD.

    Sat down with my tea to watch #Unforgotten Freeview box let me down. Recording failed 😭 Now have choice to watch on phone via @ITVX as can't link it to tv or wait for laptop to be repaired & watch it on that in a few days. #Gutted

    @SyphinB @WrestlingHumble I think they're overestimating based on the viewing numbers vs the WWE The thing is, AEW is on Freeview TV. WWE is currently on the #2 Ranked Sports Subscription service in the UK. Even the network doesn't let you watch WWE live unless you have that Sub That effects the ratings

    The hospital was so damn warm and all I had the energy to do was watch The Big Bang Theory on freeview tv and try to keep down the tiny amounts of grapes and crackers I could stomach.

    Prime Minister Liz Truss has announced domestic energy bills will be capped at £2,500 for two years from the start of 1 October as part of a support bill to ease cost of living. 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube

    @Al_Hine I don't think that it's on the basic Saorview (Freeview) package, I think you just get the RTE and Virgin Media Channels... and Oireachtas TV! So you will be in trouble if it's BBC you need. But that's always been the case as far as I know since the switchover. No C4 either.

    @smoothfuego1 Bro I grew up poor MTV base ? BET on freeview was the first time I saw black people on tv since they cancelled 6:30pm fresh Prince
