    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🎅🤶🌲

    @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.

    @LeeMcilwaine @TobyWoody There you go. You didn’t have all the facts, jumped to a patronising conclusion and still shared a solution. The problem was with Freeview. Not our TV settings ;)

  • SaffyBun Karla (@SaffyBun) reported

    @greatesthitsuk have you got technical issues? Cannot hear a thing on Freeview... Just silence from the middle of the last song 😢

  • TheRealMuseigen JUST MEGGY (@TheRealMuseigen) reported

    @faelapis @thecartooncrave I watched gumball on Cartoon Network before. But then I got Freeview.

    @BBCScotlandNews Waste of a channel, BBC Nicola and it's Gaelic pall BBC 1% a few channels down are just space fillers for Sky, Virgin and Freeview.

    @russty_russ I'm guessing Pre-DSO Freeview and the Internet sowed their demise as fewer and fewer people looked at their analogue service as time progressed?

    The big exception of course is big sports but that's a little different to normal programming. Even there, cricket viewing has dwindled from lack of major (and Freeview) network coverage.
