@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 !

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 😂

@BootstrapCook Sometimes. The cabling should work fine so long as the box and your TV have an HDMI port. Problem might be whether the Freeview signal in your area is strong enough to be picked up by a small aerial.

If betting on the #WorldSnookerChampionship be aware that Freeview is several seconds faster than satellite with on line in a poor third place. Best place to bet the foyer of The Crucible or even in the auditorium! #snooker

@putthetellyon And on top of that HD channels are actually closing down on Freeview. The picture quality of low bit-rate SD channels is increasingly an issue in a world where people have bigger TV and HD streaming services as the norm.

@joelist This is very interesting. PBS have a UK Freeview channel so you'd think they could just show it there if they really wanted to, but they don't (and never have) owned the rights. I read that a lot of Sesame Street's income was from DVDs, and that has now vanished.

@LeapfrogMark @TalkTV @iancollinsuk Most of the BBC is not suitable for a subs service, for example, no UK news programme is subscription only (even sky is on freeview) and technically it is not possible for radio stations. An advertising and sponsorship is more realistic but other media outlets will not like it
