    GB News look and sound, which has just gone live on Freeview and YouView channels 236. If you can’t see it there, you may need to retune your TV. This guide will help.

    @lbc the bbc Is a good thing if it needs a new funding model it should be general taxation like every other public service. Subscription won't work because of freeview and also the radio networks can't go on subscription either

    @kisekinasuteki Ah so that's what it was. Sucks because I don't even know if I can follow the race live since it isn't on Freeview nowadays. :/

    @TalkingPicsTV Only been watching about 4/5 years since we got Freesat we had terrible Freeview reception, we could only get about 8 channels & Talking Pictures wasn't one of them 😭

    @m1ctk @DaveMor16686271 @GBNEWS That's a shame. Why don't they broadcast in HD on freeview? SD looks like crap.

  • pifflevalve Jon (@pifflevalve) reported from Uplyme, England

    The Sony Movies channels on Freeview have been renamed e.g. “Great! movies action” and it looks **** in the TV guide. I’m quite annoyed. Being quite annoyed is more serious because gay

  • JonnieIlly J spennz (@JonnieIlly) reported

    @GBNEWS I have found your signal on Freeview but not Freesat. I understand it should be 216. Is this correct and if it is, when will the signal broadcast to find. Cheers.
