    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.

    @virginmedia is there a way to negotiate a new contract without being on the phone for 2 hours+? Raising my bill from £45 to £66 automatically when the contract ends is absolutely disgusting for what I receive. Internet that goes down and paying for the same channels as freeview?

    @BootstrapCook If the TV's relatively new it should have a built-in Freeview tuner. The aerial might be more of a problem though depending on how good a signal you get - digital's more sensitive than analogue, a poor signal makes it unwatchable rather than just snowy.

    @APndrgrst What I like to watch is available free to air, & I don't know where else to find it. This year I tried the free apple TV sub that came with my tablet. Everything was pay per view with a monthly fee as well. I quit! I listen to the radio on Freeview too: no reception issues.

    @BootstrapCook @_SarahAlice_ Can you drill through the floor and feed it through? Anyway I used to use a smart TV to watch freeview with no issues x

    @MediaGuido @Iromg is the best of TalkTV also I cannot get TalkTV on Freeview for some reason so watch on YouTube? Interestingly I can’t get GB news either but when BBC3 started no problem! Why is that?

  • CamillaWest Camilla West (@CamillaWest) reported

    @BootstrapCook I did this for my mum after she had a falling out with all the cable/phone companies. Had to get a booster areal but got all the freeview channels and just went weird and pixelated in very bad weather!

    @FreeviewTV Hello. Is there a problem with Freeview reception in the London CR7 region?

  • Supervisor1_9_4 Codename: Gary 7 (@Supervisor1_9_4) reported

    @TalkTV Alternatively you could not retune Freeview and not watch this ****.

  • stanfordswhines Paul Stanford (@stanfordswhines) reported

    @piersmorgan yes I'm rather unimportant, however I was excited by the announcement of your new channel on freeview 237. Sadly, the picture quality seems poor and I was further saddened by your introduction, which was somewhat
