    @GBNEWS I am now streaming my TV through BT as our aerial reception of various Freeview channels is poor, especially in bad weather. That means we have the channels THEY give us and GB News is not available. This is discrimination in the extreme and you should take it up with BT.

    @johubris @jarrod__baker Ok I feel like a bit of an idiot, but it transpires the Freeview app is actually working on our tv now. I thought it’d been canned but I seem to have live tv.

    @MacLiv Yeah I mainly just wanted Sky broadband but even that I’m going to cancel. Freeview channels are good aren’t they! As long as we get CBeebies then we’re happy xxxx

    @AboutEG Might be worth following @DowndetectorUK. You will get alerts for things you don't care about, but it was a great early warning for today's Twitter problems, and that recent Freeview outage - answers the "is it just me?" question.

    @alexelliottgolf @pxg I have always seem them as O Over priced Freeview tv kind of garbage gear? Sorry to any fans it's just my opinion😬

    Replay of yesterday's game on Viaplay Freeview just now. Aaron Moy, what a game he had. Never put a foot wrong 👏👏👏

    @YardleyShooting The effort of TPTB is to suppress awkward truths and misdirect with hoaxes. Another example - the Freeview TV platform is broken and can never be fixed. Govt wants us all online being tracked. TV Licence fees and antenna setup costs should be refunded.

    @TVNZ morning. What's up with your Freeview signal for tv1, tv2 and Duke channels? No signal? But all good coming through sky?
