    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.

    @guardian_sport @mrewanmurray Interesting @mrewanmurray - re: TV deal (from UK perspective), if they don’t get Sky or a Freeview channel, and on basis network would not be paying them in first year, would they not be in a worse position being on obscure subscription channel in terms of eyeballs?

    @SonyUK Hi I have a SONY RDR HXD995 Freeview 250GB HDD DVD Recorder but it's stopped working. Can you help please?

  • mpr147 Michael Rogers (@mpr147) reported

    @pablomcfc83 @bt_uk Agree mate. We pay extra for Now TV but the internet hardly ever works for us to access it. We just wrote that off but some days we can’t even watch the basic freeview channels as we ‘can’t get a signal’. We’ve learnt from our mistakes. We will go back to Sky asap.

    I’ve been awake since 2:45am… now’t to do but try and find something interesting on tv. Eventually found a programme which was ok, then 10 minutes ago, 90% of the FreeView channels just went off air.. signal lost… What’s going on?!

  • kkl033 Scooter (@kkl033) reported

    @AmazonFreevee please find a way to pay to watch commercial-free. Infuriating to watch a series with same 5 commercials 1000's of times. When this series is over, so is my relationship with Freevee. Freeview sucks! #freeveesux

    @FreeviewTV Hi I'm having trouble trying to connect to freeview here in the South East..is there a problem?

  • harpurheynews Harpurhey News (@harpurheynews) reported

    @UKTVPlay I seem to have narrowed down the problem of series links not moving onto the next episode. It's only when I dial up a program from the Freeview play listings If I watch an episode direct on the app it plays the next episode just fine. #freeviewPlay error.

    @tjz1100 @AppleTV @FreeviewTV I should scrapped my old setup (plasma + Humax freeview) and bought a smart telly. Instead like an idiot I bought a cheap Manhattan set top & an AppleTV. At least AppleTV was gift…

    I accidentally scheduled a post to go out and forgot to put a ticket price on it. It got 264 views, 54 watches, 4 likes, and absolutely no-one tipped. ****! I thought. Freeview culture has ****** me up which is why I moved over to OnlyFans.
