    @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🎅🤶🌲

    Does anyone know if @GBNEWS will be available through Sky Q? Or will I need to flip the TV to freeview (which I never do normally) to watch it?

  • Article5014 🏴‍☠️ Article_50 #FBPE 🏴‍☠️💙 (@Article5014) reported

    @LoubinWally @virginmedia Increase every April by CPI/RPI + 500% You know, these days there is an awful lot of old stuff on TV/streaming that is pretending to be new & it is going to take time for actual new content to catch up. I'm seriously considering just freeview & stable, unlimited broadband

  • Oldcynic9 GrannyB. (@Oldcynic9) reported

    @GBNEWS @jf_hanley I'm really upset we won't be able to watch on our bedroom freeview tv as our signal is from a relay transmitter & not a main transmitter. We only have virgin on the main downstairs TV. 😡

  • quinn_rori ÉimíQuinn (@quinn_rori) reported

    So after 6 years I thought I'd come back to #skytv only to find out there are more access to channels on #freeview wow what a let down. Paying this package cost every month is gonna be a bitter blow. #scam

  • Obi1_Shinobi 𝐍Ⓘℕ𝓳ค (@Obi1_Shinobi) reported

    @Alichat66 @TheBembridge Nothing on freeview/freesat or don't you have that? I'm just going to use catch up service as I refuse to pay for BBC rubbish

  • BarbaraRowley7 Barbara Rowley (@BarbaraRowley7) reported

    @bagga2007 Oh no! Do you have devices for streaming and an internet connection that’ll support it? The Freeview channels all have free apps to watch their programs. They should tide you over until you replace the TV.

  • hammer_mo Mo (@hammer_mo) reported

    @AllisterHeath Of course GMB will be balanced. Red meat for the right on the freeview channel, alternative views on the premium pay to view service. I cannot wait to find out which advertisers have gambled on a launch-day slot.

  • Crocidolite11 Crocidolite (@Crocidolite11) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Yep will be doing. Just noticed you’ve also put up my bill to over £100 now without any notice. I’ll contact to cancel you can come collect your equipment and I’ll go freeview. Absolutely shocking prices.

  • IanDavies84 Ian (@IanDavies84) reported

    @bt_uk OK cheers. I will double check through my freeview on my TV though. I used to be able to get it but maybe somethings changed. Cheers for your help
