    @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

  • 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.

    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🎅🤶🌲

    @RE_Neptune @Gooner725 @BBCiPlayer I'm guessing BBC aren't replying about why they use lower quality audio then Netflix, Sky and even their own Freeview. They went to the trouble of putting #InsideMan in UHD, then used a terrible stereo mix with weirdly loud music.

    Nicola Sturgeon has never yet made the argument that in an independent Scotland they could show live Champions League games on freeview channels like in Ireland.

    @mari_stewart1 Hi Mari, #All4 is not supported on the Android TV OS. If you are experiencing issues accessing All 4 via a Freeview Play service or YouView service in this TV then please let us know.

  • tommieharve t harvey (@tommieharve) reported

    @Elemjay1 Oh that's really fantastic - now I feel confident I can go into battle with my 'freeview jesus' sword in hand. He is so ridiculous, I sometimes really want to give him a bit of a hug. And then I think, **** it, let him burn in the toxins he spews, nothing to see here etc etc.

  • L1sa130466 Lisa (@L1sa130466) reported

    @bt_uk our BT Box is not working according to Freeview from your trouble shoot section. Our broadband quality is poor also. Been like this for 4 weeks. I can't get through on phone. Can I cancel my contract with you

  • liambrazier Liam Brazier (@liambrazier) reported

    Potentially stupid question but (in the UK) you need an aerial or dish for Freeview/sat TV right? You can’t get that over cable or just WiFi??

  • scrapchallenge1 Kirsty ♿️👩‍🦼 (@scrapchallenge1) reported

    @car_kuryakin @SkreeBat Nope we couldn’t. It SAID “full access” and never once mentioned limited access or not being able to see any more than freeview

  • JohnGlazebrook7 John Glazebrook (@JohnGlazebrook7) reported
