  • AddingRandomWit Adam Widdrington (@AddingRandomWit) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @bigpapablu @itvfootball I don’t have a sky or freeview box! I stream everything and have very good internet so it’s never an issue haha

  • JonnyRoLi JR (@JonnyRoLi) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

    If we're in lock down for another 3 weeks, I really feel the #sonyChristmasChannel should be put back on #freeview...Will keep people in the house ( okay, it'll easily keep me in the house🎅🤶🌲

    @MikeTappTweets Why’s this **** on uk freeview?

  • BobHuckin Bob Huckin (@BobHuckin) reported

    @nicperrins The only inconvenience we suffered was the loss of some Freeview HD channels on Thursday night at the back end of storm one. Switching to SD was as bad as it got. We got away very lightly

  • terrymccrum Terry McCrum (@terrymccrum) reported

    @SkyUK It is really not good. Switches itself off even when set not to ! The playlist doesn’t always work- you can only watch stuff as agreements are valid & some stuff is immediately unavailable! Many channels missing which are on satellite. Rewind / ffwd poor. No real Freeview etc

  • benfenton Ben Fenton (@benfenton) reported

    Anybody fancy crowdfunding BigJetTV to help it get a slot on Freeview? Somewhere between GBNews and RT.
