    Ok, Peanut Gallery, what is a decent news/current events show available on Freeview that I can watch for 15 minutes in the morning before work with my cereal? I can't do Piers Morgan, and BBC Breakfast IS pretty poor, I'll admit.

    @HumanityReality @TonyTcrawley666 @voodude64 There is. They are all availble on their own streaming apps like iPlayer All4 etc. What Kapang did was aggregate them all into one place. I had a look and their other channels are still working, just not the Freeview ones. This makes me suspect its a legal issue.

    @SkyHelpTeam I was on normal Freeview TV and watch @SkyNews and it just went off twice but it is back now. Sorry tagged the wrong service

    @ouestlesamuel @RacingFlamingo Imagine blocking me, I didn’t know until this reply. Shows you the mentality we’re dealing with. Spiteful and never happy with a dash of jealousy. Subscribe to a racing channel if freeview isn’t good enough. Yes I agree. They’ve brought excellent coverage. No issues 👍🏻👌🏻

    @GreenDragonpip Hi, We do not provide a service to view Freeview online. If your friend views the programs via catch up players such as BBC iPlayer or ITV Hub you would need to speak to the broadcasters directly. Thanks, Dylan

    @ben_quick With Sky Glass, if you cancel the subscription there's a freeview tuner so it'll work... But yeah, understand the hesitancy there

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie 🇺🇦 (@Brekkietweets) reported

    Frankly Freeview has been run like our train network with us now still predominantly stuck in SD and closing HD muxes whilst the rest of the world is moving on to 4K.

  • ShaneRosser20 Shane Rosser (@ShaneRosser20) reported

    @MrKennethClarke I never watch Question time because I am always asleep at that time but I leave the TV on but on any other channel except the BBC on Freeview. @MrKennethClarke

    Anyone else finding that their #Freeview signal has substantially weakened 🤔 Found recently that terrestrial channels are inexplicably disappearing from our smart TV. Not sure if they've weakened the signal to save energy. We're in South Birmingham.

  • BobCrilly2 BobCrilly (@BobCrilly2) reported

    Anyone help My old aunt has tv with freeview No cable All of a sudden she cant get channels 3 4 5 6 and a few others but most of channels working ok It says no signal on channels she cant get She has tried unplugging tv etc but still same Any advice welcome

  • MRSM1TH888 🌎🏇🏻GALLOWGLASS 🏇🏻🌏 (@MRSM1TH888) reported

    @RacingFlamingo Heard it for years about Channel 4. Heard it for years about ITV since they took over. Mute and just watch the races. The day racing isn’t on freeview tv it’ll do big damage. The producer and team call the “shots”. It’s entertainment not a stand alone racing channel specific.
