  @GSpellchecker We’re not in a good tv reception area, and used freesat but the dish kept playing up. In desperation I tried an old, small and powered internal tv ariel that plugs directly into the tv and sits next to it, and we get a perfect freeview signal. Worth a go before spending loads.

  @RichardWellings Replace the BBC with a subscription based streaming service - not dissimilar to IPlayer, and they can use their Freeview channels to promote and advertise the subscription service.

  With Freeview, if your WiFi went down, you could still watch TV. With Freely, this isn't the case. It's horrendous. Maybe I'm imagining things? I wish I was.

  @Rothbury01669 This is a smart TV but I don't have Internet, never have, so the options are irrelevant. Just Freeview crap.

  @JudeNicho @cyclingontnt This... I struggle to watch it in Freeview as the sd pic is awful. Discovery+ seems to have deleted my free account so I could watch the b highlights of giro etc on dmax/quest they had (in HD) And they'll wonder why viewership will rank this year.. 🤷🏻

  @MajQapla The Encore app is a catch up only service, and doesn't show live TV. I expect Abigail's Party will be added after broadcast. I watch TPTV via Virgin media channel 445, I know it is on Freeview (81?)

  Support @silvervoicesuk! "17 million people watch Freeview each week & 9 million rely solely on broadcast TV, more than half of whom are aged over 65. It would be cruel & irresponsible to force the most vulnerable households in the country to require an expensive broadband contract in order to continue watching TV." I agree. This group does great work! They also campaign to keep our fully reliable copper landlines, which will work in any electrical or internet outage unlike any other option.

  @ChrisHazzardSF My understanding is that RTE services work on the Freeview platform via terrestrial signal deep beyond the boarder counties. With RTE themselves saying that the signal strength is high in the boarder region and moderate beyond
