    @GBNEWS SKY 515 (also FREEVIEW) starts THIS SUNDAY 8PM. Chaired by Andrew Neil. Aims to be non-woke, non pc. Never have to watch BBC NEWS, Laura Kuntsberg et al again @defundbbc Give it a go guys.

    @davidbicknell1 The little Englanders are about to have their own TV station in a few days time. Why aren't we all donating to someone such as @BylineTV (I am) ? Let's help get them on Freeview, even if it's only just a few hours per day initially

    How weird is that the TV said you need to retune your Freeview in which I've had no problem in Bournemouth with 4 years so reaching the TV and bass you're on left with this ******* BBC C1 BBC2 ITV channel 4 and Channel 5 all the ******* **** I don't watch

    @ivorsawbottom This needs to be good, Ivor. I’m holding you personally responsible for the lousy Freeview TV signal, I’m getting from the transmitter, at Rowridge, on Paradise Island. It just won’t do, you know.

    @dlhmarketing @GBNEWS Freeview 236, Sky HD 515, Virgin Media HD 626, YouView 236, Freesat HD 216, mobile, online & audio Happy to help.

    @AmyRemeikis Ha FreeView TV on my phone is down. The hackers are busy.

  • just_call_me_DK Dreamkiller (@just_call_me_DK) reported

    @IanCornwell6 @GBNEWS I'm screwed. Don't have Sky or any other paid for service & only get limited freeview service due to our location. Looks like we won't be able to get @GBNEWS. To be honest though, I'm just glad it'll be there, hopefully challenging some of the ridiculous shite that's happening.

    @Danny_McMoomins Its going to be able on Freeview 643 or something even after the **** grot channels. The daytime TV Gammon's will never reach it too many world war 2 docs, reruns of lovejoy and homes under the hammer to skip through first.

    @Harryc3000 @CuratorOfSands It was never a thing on Freeview television.
