    @LightsOutF1Blog @SkySportsF1 @SkyHelpTeam Would also be interested to se if you can get it for £10 through a different service eg virgin/freeview

  • margatesunsets Fiona K. (@margatesunsets) reported from Margate, England

    @dancludlow Never thought of it even. Not that worried, there'll be a solution. It supposedly has Freesat & Freeview on it. Will have to try to get D's son out here, if he ever stays still, he'll know! TV is 2020 model, hardly top of the range but good enough for me.

    @BBC The viewing public should not be forced to fund a service they have not chosen, just so they can watch Freeview on their own television sets. Like Amazon Prime and Netflix, the BBC should now compete in the marketplace and offer a subscription service. #defundthebbc

  • Alheri (((Dr Lilly Evans))) 🇺🇦If not now, when (@Alheri) reported

    Anyone else has problem with film sound on @Channel4 HD (104 on Freeview)?

  • a516digital Mike (@a516digital) reported

    @DTIF__ As per article, Freeview is preparing for IP fallback giving users access to Freeview channels via IP. This will be built into newer Freeview Play models as part of CLM support.

    @imbadatlife Crap script writing and not on Freeview but some TvBox thing that nobody is interested in.

    @toolegs Some of the US MTV style paranormal investigation shows that used to appear on some of the Freeview channels were truly awful.

    @BBC The viewing public are not ‘celebrating’ being forced to fund your moribund corporation. The BBC is not an essential service, so the taxpayer should not be forced to pay for it, just for the privilege of watching Freeview on their own televisions. #DefundTheBBC
