FREEVIEW TV. HOW MANY OF YOU CAN RECIEVE IT?

I have added to debates on threads after watching a lot of media coverage from the likes of Aljazeera and R.T Today(which can be a little anti UK and America, at times). They give good current news and views unlike our news stations, even those that are on 24 hours a day such as the BBC and SKY. Also the ability to watch Parliament live and the 'going on' at Select Committees can be very interesting.

There have been times I have mentioned them and I am gaining an opinion not many GN's watch Freeview, their choice ofcourse, or simply do not have Freeview in their area. Have you Freeview in your part of the UK, or ofcourse abroad. Just interested, nothing more.

Happy with Sky, though the choice is ruled by someone's love of sport!

Do none of you watch freeview channels 80, 81, 82, 83 and 85?

They are ALL free BBC News, Parliament, Sky News, Aljazeera and RT.Today.

POGS mr.glamma watches RT.Today and Sky News most days,he says you get the full story on RT.Today.We have all the freeview channels and BT Vision which has been the best service we have ever had,new films every Friday and so many different channels and box sets from America we are spoilt for choice,I do a deal every year when contract needs renewing and over the past few years have got the price down by £15.00 per month,so I am pleased.
