Watching at about 4.35 pm on Monday 24th the Sky TV picture was completely lost from your channel and went off air. All other channels were fine.

Gillian Jamieson (@GillRaeWalker) reportedSupport @silvervoicesuk! "17 million people watch Freeview each week & 9 million rely solely on broadcast TV, more than half of whom are aged over 65. It would be cruel & irresponsible to force the most vulnerable households in the country to require an expensive broadband contract in order to continue watching TV." I agree. This group does great work! They also campaign to keep our fully reliable copper landlines, which will work in any electrical or internet outage unlike any other option.

Jack Last (@Ajax62859643753) reported@GBPolitcs Why is the BBC on Freeview?, it’s a free to watch service hence the name. But because the BBC use it they expect people to pay for a free service.

Philip Hackman (@Obi1227Phil) reported@SteveMay_UK It’s Sh💩T I installed one for a customer you can’t record ITV channels even though it is a recorder unless you go into a alternative TV guide which you can’t navigate easily, to find ITV channels via Freeview on alternative numbers that make no sense customer returned it

JT (@JBT0108) reported@jdpoc My elderly neighbours will be lost without Freeview. To be honest it’s also the back up for many Virgin and Sky subscribers when their systems go down.

Presley Turberville (@T21949Presley) reported@babycowLtd @bbcstudios Some mundane **** for Freeview telly.

Popeye (@PopeyeFreeview) reportedIt looks like QVC shopping channel is in financial in trouble? It's QVC made life hard for Freeview from beginning for refusing having shopping channels in one place. If QVC goes bust Freeview will be celebrating and get back channel 16?

Colin B (@Gwapple13) reported@JAMESRW1981 @SeddSezz I don't have any streaming services apart from Freeview play, all my lights are LED, I don't heat my house unless it's bitterly cold, I don't smoke, never have. I like a couple of beers after working 9-12 hrs a day. Hardly ever get takeaways or take the Mrs out for a meal.
