    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🎅🤶🌲

    @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.

    @GBNEWS Sacked and a years hard labour. They need to dedicate their lives to charity causes and never be seen again. I have removed ITV from freeview.

    @JHenryHardy @a516digital I honestly don't understand why anybody would watch the funeral coverage in ultra low resolution on the Sky owned Freeview channels rather than on BBC 1,2 or ITV (even in SD)

  • MJCopinion Martin (@MJCopinion) reported

    I 'upgraded' to Sky Q from my Sky HD box. Engineer comes out ' all good to go'. SkyQ box doesn't work. Sent new one. Doesn't work. Try to go back to my old sky HD box to at least get Freeview. Doesn't work anymore @SkyHelpTeam what an amazing job you've done ...

    @Dagenhammer01 @CathyJones65 Lifelong Labour voter - never voting Labour again. If you have the least bit of interest in understanding why then watch the #LabourFiles tonight 9pm freeview ch235 and the final part Monday 9pm. No amount of calling the left "Tories" will make a scrap of difference #NeverStarmer

    @SaucySeventies You should also check out his contributions to the "how to get undressed" movie from 1965. Currently on the encore service with the Talking Pictures Freeview channel.

    @FreeviewAdvice Freeview on my TV has not been working properly since start of 2022. Constant buffering etc on BBC, itv, all4, YouTube etc (some channels don't work at all) but works fine on normal channels/ xbox app on same tv. Tried following support on webiste (retuning etc).

  • dozecat007 Boris D'Burger-Zilla (@dozecat007) reported

    Abolish TV Tax, that's £10 per month into poor peoples' hands and there is plenty on Freeview. No excuse for Today and Sport presenters being made BBC millionairres #bbcaq

  • jon_2096 JP (@jon_2096) reported

    @petercrouch BBC1 is HD on Freeview, which is free, and it's also the first channel. Sky is the problem, not BBC!
