    Made the mistake of watching the WDF Darts World Championship on 'Quest' (12, Freeview). It's SO slow that one of the players had a hairline when the match started. Though, the action (if you can call it that) is still better that Paul Nicholson's commentary...

    @Paul68958640 @netflix Same. The licence fee is still the best value subscription service in Britain - every freeview channel incl the BBC. Talking Pictures and Channel 4. Enjoyed Squid Game and Mindhunter (r.i.p.) but not enough to justify £6.99 I could be spending to see other shows elsewhere.

    @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.

    @BlueTinted_LB @sidcelery @grahamefendle HD channels on Freeview usually better than equivalent on Freesat as there’s no compression. (I always switch from satellite to freeview to watch stuff on bbc for this reason) *signal can degrade so depends on distance from transmitter and other disclaimers.

    @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

    @always_argyle12 @only1argyle Cause ArgyleTV is a joke and Radio Devon never put us on freeview

    @avraam2000 Hi Maria, apologies for any disappointment. If your TV does not support HD content, you can still watch via your aerial (i.e. Freeview) as we will still be in SD for there. We also have online streaming available via the QVC app or using the desktop version of our website. Joe

  • CorriganPaul Paul Corrigan (@CorriganPaul) reported

    @MediaGuido @netflix That is a false equivalence given geographic spread of their markets. If Ch4, Beeb & ITV had used Freeview and their channels more effectively they could have brought Sky to their knees. An ITV bid seems like a great idea but gov support to gain funds for expansion sensible too

    @edmorrish @jonholmes1 @IanDunt I don't know how it would work but if you've paid the licence fee you should be able to access BBC TV shows however you want. Freeview, Sky, Virgin whatever. Youtube is a little more complicated but it's annoying BBC TV catch-up doesn't work properly on Sky.
