    @RachMajor Football is live on the Red Button. Freeview channel 601. 8pm to 10.15pm. No worries about net signal or time lag.

  • ScotRamsay Scot Ramsay (@ScotRamsay) reported

    @lennylaw When you have 6 live TV channels available to all on Freeview, and you show the same thing on 5 channels, and close down the sixth, that's just bollocks.

  • KKMUFC2020 Kyri (@KKMUFC2020) reported

    @Wheely73 @bendirs1 Of course...if you have sky or wherever. I read somewhere that the majority of homes in UK don’t even have freeview, never mind sky/cable. What about those folks?

  • ChrisJA15486090 Chris - Cymry & European! #FBPPR (@ChrisJA15486090) reported

    @SteelDalek1 And then close down BBC4 to stop you watching that instead! Have they forgotten most people have Freeview, Sky or Virgin to find other programmes on???

  • LY33KH4 Lyeekha (@LY33KH4) reported

    my freeview doesnt have good enough signal strength for non-bbc channels aarrurghhghghbgh

  • FactsStomp Phil's Retro Life #retro (@FactsStomp) reported

    @trianabutler @cleanfeed_ttvr @ITV The SD Freeview service is low bitrate MPEG2 with far too many channels crammed on to each mux. But I believe ITV+1 is also 544x540 3/4 resolution! (though most channels use this)

  • vinceunlimited Vince (@vinceunlimited) reported

    @jimwaterson At least iPlayer is broadcast via an App on my smart TV therefore gets broadcast as HD. Freeview cannot managed HD on any more than 5 channels and BBC4 ain't one of them. SD is visually poor in big flatscreens

    @GaryinScotland @mandapen Where can't you get Freeview? I can't get all the Freeview channels as I'm about as far away from a transmitter as you can get in the UK, and its not helped by my rubbish aerial, but I can still get at least a couple of dozen channels, even on a bad atmospherics day.

  • AlistairMay Alistair the Unproductive (@AlistairMay) reported

    @oashton88 @FinishedZine BBC is a subscription service too. But there's a host of other channels on freeview.

  • lobwinners Michael (@lobwinners) reported

    @SaraelisGarvey Exactly! All of the radio stations are playing slow/sensitive music, 4 of the 5 main tv stations are playing special programming. We have 24 hour news on freeview for this. It’s way too much
