    *in some areas only. The national version of That's TV, with the same schedule except the local news at 6 and its early morning repeat is down on Freeview 91, again in some areas (but not necessarily the same areas) only.

    @BethBudden @Channel4News Looks ok to me just now on Freeview HD, but I've noticed similar problems in the past.

  • Kathy_landeg59 Kathryn Landeg (@Kathy_landeg59) reported

  • B0redBen Ben G (@B0redBen) reported

    @76rufus @motomatters What else is on Freeview on a Sunday? TV is always crap on a Sunday because they know people are out doing stuff or watching football/ racing. They just stick old films on...

    @JSpaced10 Because the licencing for the Freeview crap is cheap. Original shows are not. Gotta maximise those profits, son.

    @SimonBrodkin Similar goings on with mine. We need to compile a parental / grandparental FAQ to avoid the call outs. “Q: You think Freeview not working? A: press Input. Antenna = aerial = Freeview” My latest call out!

  • Fantastic__Mr Signore Fantastico (On Parler as @FantasticMr) (@Fantastic__Mr) reported

    @ANDIBABY8 I feel your pain there. I've only got the cooncil tv aka freeview so always having a battle with my ****** aerial for a signal lol

  • Golf_5_TM Tim H (G5TM) (@Golf_5_TM) reported

    BTW re: my earlier poll re: TVI.. please share I’d like votes and responses on this. It seems like it’s all bands causing issue but ONLY on satellite and DAB!?? Not freeview. I’m sure both satellite and DAB are linked to their rf distributor in the attic.

    @leefreshprince I have a Sony Bravia which claims to allow Freeview recording to USB media, but doesn't. It can certainly read USB media but I've never got it to write. Streaming allows me to pause and rewind, unlike my main linear TV.

    @FernRiddell I totally forgot about this... damn the lack of a +1 on Freeview! Though I do have this on HD DVD (because all the cool people have HD DVD)
