    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.

    @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

    @E4Tweets what is happening with the actually picture quality of e4 on standard freeview? It so bad the last few weeks? It’s like below SD quality of that was at all possible.

    @HearingLosshour @BBCOne @bbcstrictly Oh, that's awful. Sorry to hear that. The subtitles on freeview are mostly OK.

    @JoshNeicho @NewlandsIsabel @BrianCathcart The points raised by Stefanovic are serious enough for national media to cover, not just left to a journalist alone. The BBC has a rolling news channel on Freeview that could fit in an entire programme on his points as well as many other important issues not covered elsewhere.

    What start to the day, just had TV Licensing officer AGAIN at the door. I've obviously cancelled my dd for the licence as WE HAVE NO FREEVIEW SIGNAL in Teesside haven't had it for 60+ days now, so why would I pay for a service I don't receive, I don't download 1/n

  • Jack_Nelligan Jack Nelligan 🇮🇪 (@Jack_Nelligan) reported

    Channel 4, E4, More4 and Film4 all have no information available about the programs they currently air on Freeview. Possibly as a result of the tech issues?
