    @SooksThe @GBNEWS Deffo ,👍 we can get it on the main TV through virgin but can't watch on bedroom tv on freeview as signal is from a relay mast. Luckily it's a smart tv so can get YouTube. Great news.

    @DisorderAwesome Only have freeview I think. Don’t pay for any service

  • purple_dragon25 kelly * double jabbed * (@purple_dragon25) reported

    Challenge and Pick are not working. Typical Freeview.

  • FactsStomp Phil's Train and Retro Life (@FactsStomp) reported

    @dramachannel The trouble is the general bit rate and 540x544 resolution are so poor on Freeview that even the adverts and trailers frequently look like they are being played from a badly worn VHS tape, add archive material to that and it becomes a blocky detail free mess.

  • BlizMost Ibree Makanah (@BlizMost) reported

    @3V3N1NGST4R Ah ok I guess that makes sense, I never had Netflix so that's probably why I never saw it, I was just stuck with an abundance of old DVDs and VHS tapes and freeview channels as a kid lol Most of it had TF somehow

  • JamesHaughton2 James Haughton (@JamesHaughton2) reported

    @JackPittBrooke Going on to the Super League, would those owners have wanted games on the BBC or another Freeview channel? They might even have considered a Super League version of MOTD too much content not to put on their own streaming service or in a very expensive TV contract
