    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.

    @redskyatnight Actually supporting your point. Not least in 1936 launching the first TV service was the equivalent of launching/owning the whole Internet v a poky little Freeview/YouTube clipshow you could do on an iPhone

    @GBNEWS @afneil Such a shame you’re all the way down the freeview channels on no.236 while the BBC are still squatting on the defunct BBC3 freeview channel no.7… Maybe after the teething troubles are sorted this is something to aspire to? Kindest regards
