    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.

    @AmazonHelp I'm using a JVC smart TV that "Works With Alexa", and it's connected to my Wi-Fi. Netflix works, but YouTube, Amazon Prime, Freeview Play and the Alexa feature has connection problems.

  • OllieHand Ollie Hand (@OllieHand) reported

    @SamSmette Similar really, if theres a catchup service we use that but if its a film or something on, say, Sky Arts (on freeview) I might want to record it. I dont record a great deal.

    @LGUK hi, you've announced Freeview play support for 2021 models. Will your 2020 models receive this? I've just bought your BX model for a fairly substantial amount, so would expect support. Thanks.

    @GBNEWS The problem with being on Freeview is we need a licence to watch it and therefore have to fund the BBC.

  • PaulSewter1 Paul Sewter (@PaulSewter1) reported

    @Joeby52 We have Netflix,Amazon Prime as well as the numerous Freeview channels. Why would anyone be as thick as to watch that Woke crap. Anyway,Lammy and Henry said they don’t want white peoples money so I’m just obeying their instructions

    @ClarNiUigin I wasn't sure how it worked on a free freeview box so was hoping it was a simple solution for you! Sometimes just a quick look can find these things. Glad it worked out

  • Logicumdictatu1 Logicumdictatus (prime minister elect) (@Logicumdictatu1) reported

    @minxyme72 Don't watch terrestrial TV anymore, at worst may put something on freeview that I know that I want to watch, but that is very rare as 99.9% of it is total woke pc crap.

    @a516digital Ive heard diffrent excuses why bbc one isnt in hd for local service, cost invovled etc. Despite that fact i can,t get freeview, but thats my issue, my parents can get it. And i used to be able to get it when lived there.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital In my current location freeview is only possible when we get tropospheric lift conditions, and that never always provides the right transmitter, we get swamped out, the local mast, is oxford, but were behind huge trees at the bottom of a hill etc.
