    @Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

    @bigpapablu @itvfootball I don’t have a sky or freeview box! I stream everything and have very good internet so it’s never an issue haha

  • Oliver_Wok wok (@Oliver_Wok) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @edgarwright @broccantyzack @itv2 Would make for a brilliant friday/saturday/sunday triple header. Would love to break it down into how many times a year they appear on freeview TV

    @Limping_Chicken Too many Freeview channels without any or nominal amount of subtitles after all these years. Horror does none, yet most horror is dark for scare effect, folk whisper... Worse kind of set up to try and make out what happening. Access to service - subtitles should be mandatory now.

    @JoshxReid @PATVOne1 @4Music They did move out of the music section on Sky a few years back to allow them to do this. Not an issue on Freeview with everything thrown in together. It is poor branding though - same with CBS Drama showing hours of Judge Judy.

    @Maxiwacks @Channel4 it more seems to affect channel 4 HD then certain programmes but it also seems to act differently depending on what service your using, such as satellite cable and freeview, or internet services which are mostly broken

    @dougmcfarlane41 @NickyAACampbell @bbc5live There was something on the radio the other day about claiming money from companies who don’t provide paid internet services after so many days. I guess freeview wouldn’t be included. What is the actual problem, have they said?

    @jaco45er @NickyAACampbell @bbc5live BUT that's the issue there was never any fuel shortages, and those that hadn't had delivered were a 5 stations in the South proving again the news is southern centric focused....remind me again we're now on day 53 of no #Freeview yet bugger all talking about, no media asking why

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    @Adam_Peterkin @htwcentral They've now got an apology on the Freeview guide for 4Music stating that they're showing The Box whilst they fix the fault. The Box is being shown with subtitles.
