    @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 !

  • 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 😂

    @Sargon_of_Akkad I've been thinking about this. If Sky is funded from subscriptions why is the awful Sky News on Freeview? It should be banned from Freeview because it's using it subscription revenue stream to distort the free to air market.

    @ArchRose90 Its about time we had choice and not an arbitrary tax just to watch OTHER channels on freeview who are funded by adverts. BBC should be funded through adverts or by a subscription service

    @BotFinderUK Let them pay for it then - and exempt the others from a compulsory licence fee to watch tv even if you never watch the BBC. No one is forced to pay to watch Sky or GB News - they are free on freeview. They are forced to pay for the BBC if they want to watch any live tv.

  • CorianderSoap Cilantro (@CorianderSoap) reported

    @BenInRushcliffe @GBNEWS So they should be moved from the 'News' section of the Freeview schedule. Give them a channel number similar to the Food Network or QVC.
