    Anyone else finding that DAVE and W channels on freeview are suffering from really annoying blackout screens? (Have retuned x2 so not the set).

  • RainbowChazer Music is my first love. And it will be my last. (@RainbowChazer) reported

    @stuffierescue Disconnect on Thursday, reconnect on Friday? We were without internet for weeks here, and Freeview too as the TV aerial was broken. Have I told human about the 6 month hassle to get £25 out of British Telecom because I was moving out of area although staying with them?

  • Oliver___Brett Oliver Brett (@Oliver___Brett) reported

    Any help available for the senile? Eg is BT Sport on freeview and if so where? TIA

  • Pic889 Dimitris (@Pic889) reported

    @gerardjasper This begs the question: Since you can't receive the entirety of BBC's broadcasts through generic DVB-T2 equipment (you need a special "Freeview HD" receiver), why not encrypt the service and give subscribers a CAM module to watch it? Let's see how many really want to pay for it.

    @mawju5 the worst era was before i had freeview. just 5 sad channels so ghetto😭 they would put on like 2 hrs of cbbc and that was it skjsjsnsns i sufferedd

  • IrishTV_films CCÉ FISÉ (@IrishTV_films) reported

    @BbcBring In NI there is potential to work with RTÉ to have RTÉ2 share with CBBC in replace of its TRTÉ/RTÉjr service. Even to put RTÉ2 +1 on Freeview there with CBBC sharing when its not on the air.

    @nahthanksthough @kennysmith21 @beffybadbelly Also worth mentioning that CBBC is on Freeview Light relays as it is broadcast on BBCA and BBCB unlike the commercial childrens channels. Bad for rural types.

    @AndrewM2p4c @andymcgowan001 They have to pay to broadcast via transmitters. They pay for the BBC national dab multiplex. I can't imagine subtracting one station from it saves much. They have to pay freeview, sky and freesat too. Personally I never listen to it through my tv.

    @1066shrimprail Hi, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview Reception. So, we can investigate this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • WezzRail Wez (@WezzRail) reported

    @PetroPablo3 @DitsyRedOne @beffybadbelly So circumstances can't change? They may have been able to afford the TV and simply use freeview rather than paying for a service...
