    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🎅🤶🌲

  • 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 I can say only one positive about this World Cup is that, Football being so accessible on freeview TV is brilliant. This should never change and be more regular. Get more Football on freeview TV!

    @BlitzExternals Hi, there. If the TV isn't letting you accept the Freeview Play Terms and Conditions, check to see if there's a software update available for the TV. Otherwise, you'll need to contact the TVs manufacturer for further support. Fraser

    @Lottesometimes Yep I'm streaming my games to my phone from my home network. I have a freeview tuner hooked up to my network, so can watch normal channels live anywhere I want when out and about.

  • thhamilton Tom Hamilton (@thhamilton) reported

    @GidonFreeman @MattRogerson The issue is the aerial (irrelevant for streamed programming) not the presence or absence of a freeview box.

    @robertscot83 The red button is a news service Robert, available on Freeview only for the moment, but we will continue to improve/expand the service when it is possible for us to do this.
