@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.

@lilfatkitten @virginmedia @harminderd82 It’s not easy is it. Customer service was so condescending too, fella I spoke too, just wow! Also told me I could not use the freeview that’s built into the tv, which I now know is utter rubbish. They need training

@JohnInAdelaide1 @xskinn They are in the UK. I just use streaming and catch up. Never watch freeview. Even with my streaming fees it is cheaper than the licence fee.

@newhandlehun @CahairOKane1 Many of us can’t access it on our TVs (I don’t have Sky and my Freeview doesn’t pick up RTÉ) and not every VPN service allows us to get around the GAA’s geoblocking.

@malfouru48 Every Freeview TV has a CAM interface on the rear; in simple terms, a card slot, to facilitate access to encrypted services. The BBC could encrypt the signal tomorrow and all most people would need to do is insert a card into their TV. The BBC and Gov continue to lie about this.

@lungz77_ @foxylocksy1 I have got Sky with basic Netflix coming Friday, maybe I will be able to see it. I had to do something to escape Freeview. It's that bad tonight I've got Heartbeat on. 😐

@scott_gamer @russty_russ I'm guessing they would have sold generic DTT boxes for free-to-air digital TV. Top-Up TV used to be on Freeview. Unusually the ntl:digital text service still ran and provided listings for ITV Digital channels long after Freeview had replaced it.

@adam_markson Channel 100 provide viewers with information regarding Freeview and our phone number so if there are any issues with their service they can phone us to try and resolve them. This has been proven to be very useful for people. Thanks, Dylan

Some Freeview viewers in the HG4 area have reported their channels freezing. Rescanning your TV with your aerial unplugged, then doing so again with the aerial plugged back in may help. For assistance call 0800 121 4828.
