@MrBKing1988 @OakNational @educationgovuk No like a Freeview Channel like QVC is on ... ideally you click on the Channel and can filter what you want to find... or press the blue button to see the other cl***rooms. For a good old techie though - this wouldn't be a problem

@RobWalk79963727 You want it to slim down AND make programming for the disabled and Welsh/Scots viewers AND maintain Freeview transmitters?
The programming specified doesn’t make a profit as the audience is too small.
How do you square that circle?

@sarahMo3W We tend to watch BBC the most. But then he'll trawl the movie channels after police interceptors. The issue with movies on freeview is that most he watches are just repeats (and usually bad). Definitely need to get him on prime and netflix

Sick and tired of @FreeviewTV. Ever since they all told us to retune after Aug 12 it's been a shambles. People are still experiencing issues despite a so-called fix. When the weather's bad, so is the pixelation. One failed promise after another. Waste of time. We've been mugged!

Odd to use “Cuties” image for this story unless they are inferring this contributes to the decline. Disney has played a blinder though in 2020. Prime doing ok. I’m still confused why AppleTV exists, barely any content there (just pushes paid films, iPlayer and Freeview to me)
