    @winklepin @DanTillotson If you are still having problems when you retune, there is a Freeview helpline that might be worth a chat with? Freeview advice line on 03456 505050

  • Matt3590 Matthew Henderson (@Matt3590) reported

    @Jimboblue6 Call them and tell them you want to cancel your license as you only stream programming, nothing live inc. Freeview. Get rid of all aerials. They'll check in once in a while to confirm your still not watching live tv.

    @SkyHelpTeam can you tell me what exactly your admin fee of £20 is and why I have to pay this every time I renew my sky q package, as a long time customer I’m seriously considering keeping my £20 and just using freeview and Netflix

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital I can stream most of the freeview channels no problem on sky puck. Or watch on sky + or sky Q or freesat.
