    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 😂

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

    @Saltbar Good God no - I watch on a proper TV with Freeview and only very, very, rarely watch something on whatever channel's iPlayer service it is - and then only if it's something I miss when it's broadcast and I didn't record it either. Is that what you're doing? Online only viewing?

    @RussPurdie @DefundBBC If the BBC is defunded how do we replace the excellent educational resources it provides to every school and college? How do we maintain the Freeview network which enables the elderly and poor to access free television? How do we replace the Disability Programmes Unit (1/2)

    @FryFive @All4 It's now literally the only Freeview catch-up service missing. This reflects badly on both LG and Channel 4 now, as ITV Hub, BBC iPlayer and My 5 seemed to have cut a deal, and popped up in the various updates since I purchased the TV.

    @eboyde Hi Eimear, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview Reception. So, we can investigate this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

    Any news on when BBC4/CBeebies HD will return to Freeview? Seems odd to have such a problem at last minute given the space for another HD channel has theoretically been on the mux for over a year and Arqiva are forever squeezing in extra channels to their SD muxes.

    @DanielaNadj I wish the EU would runs a news channel on Freeview. RT did, Al Jazeera does, why not the EU? Euronews is available and OK as far as it goes, but it is quite limited. An opportunity for the EU to develop its own 'World Service'.

    @snigskitchen These pitches are gold tbh, the main problem is that they're trying to become PM instead of finding a home on a midsize Freeview channel
