    @scottygb One Freeview channel would have done to be honest....never been so glad to be abroad to avoid it all.

  • Flic_Kitty Kitty (@Flic_Kitty) reported

    @PeterTatchell Ah yes, the BBC have blocked all other TV channels, all access to freeview, freesat, Sky, Now TV, Netflix, Prime, Brit Box and every other TV and film service in the country. They've also burned all books, DVDs, radios, and blocked Spotify, Deezer etc. Pillock.

    @martinetruelove Same as I use Virgin. I’m assuming of you disconnect from the internet and just use the aerial you would get the standard Freeview service but not be able to access any of the apps in the telly.

    Is anyone else having problems recording off of freeview? Things keep failing from the HD channels such as BBC One & ITV. I don't record off the HD channels, just the normal ones. I don't know why it keeps doing this. I retuned my freeview box to see if that helps.

    BBC Red Button 1 now has the lying-in-state live stream running until 6:30am on Monday. Satellite has no-commentry coverage from 0800-1700, then suspension. Freeview currently still has suspension. Overall, BBC very slow to confirm arrangements away from BBC One and BBC Two.

    @Smicht @JamesAmcvean Were they going to shoot down the Astra satellite broadcasting freeview out of spite?

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

    @a516digital Brilliant, thank you. For some reason the BBC seem slow or reluctant to update their listings which for programmes not broadcast makes my Freeview box give a "recording failed due to power loss" error.

    I forgot to mention it, but the BBC have quietly re-added BBC Four HD on to Freeview after its recent axing for 5G mobile phone crap, your TV might need to be rescanned to add it. BBC News HD is still banished. #TOTP

    Operation avoid the funeral is in full effect. Helped by my Freeview reception going to **** in the rain. So now watching The Samaritan on Prime. #NowWatching
