    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

    @traceyfromrasen @Kavismate @SkySportsRacing @RacingTV My Freeview signal can be hopeless at best even connected to Wi-fi but the HDMI/laptop combo works well when the cat isn’t jumping on it !

    We are all urged to support England in Euro 2020 , but I seem to remember that those of us that only had freeview T V were not allowed to watch our national team in the UEFA Nations League not so long ago, funny how things change.

    BBC iPlayer dropping out, awful UHD colour rendition. HD Freeview by far the better viewing option #ENGCRO

  • AndrewCLeach Andrew C Leach (@AndrewCLeach) reported

    @afneil @GBNEWS It's disappointing the Freeview signal doesn't support subtitles, but I suppose you haven't reached the relevant audience thresholds yet. That might happen quickly!

  • LwtEmmaBird Sarah Harbour (@LwtEmmaBird) reported

    Arghh nearly missed the launch of @GBNEWS because @freeview signal went down!! Not casting from the mobile app #phew w/ @melharbour

  • DiGada1 Ali (@DiGada1) reported

    @WeAreYellows49 @GBNEWS Doesn't work on my TV. We've never been able to get many of the freeview channels in this part of the country

  • Daverjr David_bythesea (@Daverjr) reported

    @afneil @GBNEWS Not all parts of U.K. will be able to receive the channel using freeview. Just so people wondering where it is don’t spend 3wks trying to fix or replace their tv or freeview box. Other chs also fall victim this rotten system. Also available on sky/freesat/cable.

  • Loykymar_Gaming Loy Kymar (@Loykymar_Gaming) reported

    Hi @twitch community, I was to stream some matches from the Euro 2020 on twitch (2 min time delay). I know there are problems when it comes to Sky TV and other PAY TV but this is actually BBC on freeview. Is it possible or still not allowed? Please Help

  • LSALad Darren (@LSALad) reported

    @tennisontelly iTV not offering HD broadcast to Freeview customers make it worthwhile looking out for a Eurosport subscription offer, which is what I did and will continue to do. I'd have liked to watch it on ITV but the SD broadcast quality is terrible. Eurosport offers EVERY match in HD.

    @GBNEWS Not available on Freeview in some rural areas with signal from local relay transmitters. These have limited range of channels and GB News is not included.

    @jonoabroad If you get a Vodafone set-top box, you can also subscribe to Sky. However, you can change or cancel the service(s) month-by-month. TBF, the Voda set-top box is quite good c.f. the competition; works fine on Freeview, streaming services (incl. NZ ones).
