  @cxdi55 @skytv @SkyHelpTeam I had to buy one of their Pucks because the Freeview signal was so bad. First one was broken but they still tried to blame my broadband, tried to get me to switch. told them I was locked into a 2 year deal. they shut up. Shop around.

  @Alexandr4Denman 2034....don't worry, these buggars in control will be long gone by then. Freeview, I must be honest, I've never seen because my TV couldnt pick it up anyway. TV is now permanently off. We can find better things for pensioners to enjoy, surely?

  @BBCDerbySport Hi guys, anyone else had a problem trying to watch or listen to the game today. Sky Sports through Virgin wasn’t working, channel 717 on Freeview was broadcasting Burton Albion, you can’t listen to it on BBC Sounds, I ended up in my car in this weather!

  So the advantage of Freely is that unlike Freeview, when my internet goes down I also lose my TV. Technology continues to improve our lives.

It remains on Freeview (for now) but is said to be suffering financial problems.

  Precisely and if the BBC want to discontinue running the freeview service and save money on upkeep of the transmitters why do we have to pay the licence fee. If you decide to only watch non BBC live channels online which you pay for by having broadband then the licence is wrong.

  I watch Al Jazeera - I get the truth from this site, & I'm more likely to get it here than from our own crap MSM. Freeview also on Ch 251. It's Arab, but good Arab 👍
