    @STARTVUK @HarshAnantNagar @snehajain The good thing is it would have everything on demand eventually. But you can't watch Disney or Fox movies on a big screen anymore because it's all online only which is a bad thing. Disney and Fox still have a BBC and Channel 4 Freeview deal for films but that's 2-5 years behind.

    @benedictrogers @Ofcom I agree but most people have a Sky or BT receiver and never use Freeview.

    I swear #skybroadband is down at least every other week... was working fine until now. Wanted to watch something on freeview play but my smart TV runs off WiFi and currently have none. Good luck to my older sister who works remotely/from home with no WiFi shew screwed.

    @dimwittedly @Forces_TV A retune should fix it. On Freeview the programme map changes from time to time, and it can cause you to lose channels. So you need to retune, to keep the "map" up-to-date.

    Good to see the urgency with which @arqiva have restored Freeview to the good people of North Yorkshire. Just the three weeks now without any service.

    @Pulturner2 Hi Paul, So sorry you are having issues with your Freeview Reception. We are currently investigating this issue. Please do not retune as the channels will automatically reappear once the issue is resolved. Please do not hesitate to get back in touch for further updates.

    @BigBearF1 F me this is actually bloody brilliant. My Grandad has started to lose it. My mrs went round to fix it the other day & he'd pressed the wrong button so it was trying to find freeview. He then did the same again the following day so called out a tv engineer

    @TheTwistedApe @Mike_Fabricant @GBNEWS In order to see it, you can watch on Sky, Virgin, Freeview, YouTube and via the app. Are you suggesting it cannot be watched because SFH tried to cancel it via advertisers? This argument makes no sense.
