The sat backup combines Freeview multiplex BBC-A and BBC-B, without the full selection of BBC English Regions, so relays that fall back on satback may offer 'the wrong local news' until normal service returns. It's also very popular in Spain for reasons I won't go in to here...

I would like #vegansuk just to take a look at how farmers care for their animals. With sheep, look at what they supply beyond meat. Go out buy wool to insulate your homes, insulate yourselves. Never think an animal is wasted. Freeview 82 now @Katehumble make nature work) #vegans

@SianJasper I only do Freeview but it’s interesting what’s shown and what isn’t. I have never seen Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing. I recently watched a documentary on Black Hollywood - never even heard of half of the films.

London's mayor Sadiq Khan wants the city to be net zero by 2030. So are cities part of the solution to climate change? Our guests @JenIrisAllan and @mohadow will be debating this on tonight's #DailyClimateShow. 🕡 6:30pm 📺 Sky 501/Freeview 233

@SkyUK #skyglass? Qs. 1. Who manufactures the TVs for Sky? 2. If you cancel sky, this then renders the TV useless? 3. No option to view any other service? eg freeview 4. No alternative if BBand dies? 5. No such thing as "live" TV as everything is delayed? Not enough info given on this.

@JoGoldsmithE @charliclement_ Think for GBBO on the All 4 streaming platform time to come to be able to get it on Sky, Freesat, Freeview and stuff like that which is terrible

@sarahMo3W @susankmann @TheDTblogs Having too much choice really is a 1st world problem. Between Netflix, Prime and Disney+ as well as NowTV and all the freeview stuff. I liked having 4 channels to pick from.

@Ftumch3 Yeah. I only watch it if I stay in a hotel and the WiFi/phone reception is terrible and I'm reliant on Freeview TV.

@Noehaddock You can tell how the "Spot Conrad in the background" is going :p Not watched many episodes this week, they had Amazing Spiderman (Terrible) and Venom (******* fantastic) on freeview so kinda watched those instead lol

@MartinSLewis Amazon Prime and Netflix ! I clicked Amazon Prime above, because it is included in the delivery service so is effectively "free". We don't have Sky as we cancelled that many many years ago. We use iPlayer, 4OD, ITVOD, etc quite a bit too. For terrestrial we use HD Freeview.

@Channel4 & @channel5_tv with all the problems with your networks going down, no subtitles unavailable to the deaf, why not open a 2nd channel on Freeview with all the same programming at the same time (like the HD channels), but with a Signer and subtitles on screen at all times

@BustedSpyke @BBC I thought the Red Button on BBC was free? I'm guessing it is if you have freeview on your TV but how'd you get to watch that on a laptop / mobile device? As for the online commentary, I've got the same problem as I'm just on the edge of 95.5FM's area 🤬
