    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.

    @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

    @QuestTV No transmission of Quest on Freeview 12. Have retuned the telly to no avail. Can pick up Quest plus 1 on Channel 70. No other Freeview channels affected. Is there a problem with Lincolnshire transmitter?

  • backpackeneur Thomas Smith 💛💙 (@backpackeneur) reported

    Can someone explain why the BBC are showing both matches on channels available in HD via Freeview (good thing) but @ITV have shoved one of the matches to ITV4 which doesn’t have a HD version on Freeview (bad thing)?

  • Kevinbrown7979 Kevinbrown79 (@Kevinbrown7979) reported

    @HisenseGlobal I have just bought a Hisense smart tv. Was told by the shop it has freeview. However, it’s freeview plus which seems to mean I can only watch tv through the individual channel apps and not able to get a tv listings of all channels to scroll through. Can you help?

  • adthedoor Adam Hammond (@adthedoor) reported

    @BullAntics Nope. And reception is so poor here that we only get about 14 channels on Freeview.

  • fesshole Fesshole 🧻 (@fesshole) reported

    I'm sorry, mum and dad. The shelf in the living room didn't fall down because of dad's shoddy work or mum putting too many figurines on it. I hated them watching me while I was trying to enjoy the 10 minutes freeview so I pulled the shelf down. Sorry about the 20 year argument

  • MatTheExBot mat (@MatTheExBot) reported

    @dogdownlockdown @LostatLothric @adlow76 But surely you can eventually watch WSS on some sort of freeview service, no? What's weird is that Elgort's currently appearing in a show, Tokyo Vice, that's just started on the BBC.
