    @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 😂

  • themib Martin Bentley, AKA Martin Bentley (@themib) reported from London, England

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

    @sandieshoes We would be happy to. Cancel our Sky subscription and watch it on Freeview / subscription. Likewise we subscribe to Amazon Prime, Netflix, don't give it a 2nd thought. Good VFM.

  • NewWorldLoading Nathan Blake (@NewWorldLoading) reported

    @TaniaWren @GBNEWS @Specsavers It's on 216 on Freeview. I have watched it a few times. Not bad just a bit of a dark studio. Could do with brightening up a bit!

  • MrMichaelAyy Michaelteach💙 (@MrMichaelAyy) reported

    @generational55 @BoardroomBoy @macnahgalla Just out of interest. If Islamic state started a news channel on Freeview, would you support it? Hypothetical question… I know, but an interesting thought experiment.

  • MitchellMSD (MSD) // Palletforce // XDP - Leicestershire (@MitchellMSD) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Can’t get gb news on freeview can you help

  • AFCMan_Uk Dave Thorn (@AFCMan_Uk) reported

    @GBNEWS You still seem to be having volume issues on Freeview. Loving the channel, but just seems to be 50% quieter than all other channels. Hope you fix this soon :)
