    @mulvey_adam Doesn't surprise me seeing as the Xmas channels turn up on Freeview in October every year without fail!

  • HKT3030 Nick "Concrete Farmer" Thorpe (@HKT3030) reported

    At one point, I was so into Doctor Who that I bought a Freeview box just so I could watch Torchwood on BBC Three, but I fell off after Matt Smith's first series. I've seen a Christmas special or two since and tried a Capaldi episode, but I never managed to get back into it.

    Question. @OfficialBedale is anyone else having trouble with freeview channels who doesn't use sky, just has freeview?

  • Matth9999 Matthew (@Matth9999) reported

    @JuliaLopezMP I was going to gripe about the iniquity of Jury service, where those who hate the idea are press ganged into it on pain of a £1000 fine, but on seeing your position.... Freeview has an expiry date, the 2038 Linux bug - specifying as UNSIGNED format would solve

  • lalaburrow Jo-Anne Burrow (@lalaburrow) reported

    @LiamcBakes your series of #GBBO is showing now on Food Network, Freeview 42.

  • fizzforbrexit fizzforbrexit (@fizzforbrexit) reported

    @NototyrannyNOW I just watch a bit of Freeview after 8.00pm but I usually have my nose in a book at the same time. But I didn't really watch TV much for years, preferring to read. I am convinced that the public have been brainwashed through TV for years, soaps, sports & god awful Reality TV.

    @MontagueTerrie Probably best to talk about it before 11 then watch it on the Freeview adult channels. Masturxxte then fall asleep. Then start worrying about the whole Covid **** and how the Govt.wants to cull us in the morning.

  • judith17554 judith WOKE 💙 (@judith17554) reported

    @WolfgangDikface No. I only have Freeview, so no option, but I don't think it's my cup of tea. I've not got much patience with fantasy or sci-fi type films/programmes. I have enough trouble with real life.

  • GeeFHyde G-Man (@GeeFHyde) reported

    @mikeportsmouth We got £40 off very easily by saying we were going to leave, but still too much so will be looking at the options in this thread. But have a good Ariel now so Freeview for us just to decide which broadband to go for. Virgin are awful though. Good luck

    @a516digital @BBC Thanks done all this. As I have exactly the same issues with BBC FOUR HD on a freesat box (itv/bbc type) which runs off a different dish and on a different tv I really don’t think on this occasion it’s me or my equipment. SD fine. Freeview HD also fine. All other channels ok.
