    @GBNEWS i was so looking forward to it. But… on freeview the picture quality is really poor, sound is out of sync, and just feels like the sets are dark and badly lit. Took my focus away from listening to whats being projected. #GBNews

  • Robbo72uk Andy Roberts (@Robbo72uk) reported from Southport, England

    Virgin tv and broadband gone down yet again. Resorting to Freeview right now. The picture quality is actually much better than Virgin...AND no glitches and constant picture breakup!!

    @LQcontactus No problem. Thanks for replying to me. No she doesn't have satellite TV. She just has non satellite freeview, and according to them there are no problems on their end.

    @andyliverbird You tube surfing. Try streaming fury wilder. The crap that’s on freeview. If all else fails re organise you clothes

  • aegyptiangod DaddyWarBucks (@aegyptiangod) reported

    It's currently impossible to "stream it like it's TV". Whomever solves this problem, Wins. And, people want Freeview channels as basic. They'll subscribe for my Eva Longoria Movies. 😎

  • pop_hill Pop (@pop_hill) reported

    @SkyNews Can I connect my BluRay player to it, and is there a Freeview tuner in case the internet goes down?

  • davidvikingflag David drury (@davidvikingflag) reported

    @cordbusters Its because if you actually look what sky offer now is very poor in view if content , with the streaming apps like discovery plus , disney etc the content on sky is poor and look at what they charge . Mostly re runs of old rubbish , just go freeview

  • mjray MJ Ray (@mjray) reported

    @gnomeicide IIRC there is one big service not on Roku but I forget which. And you meant Freeview not Freeserve a few posts ago. Freeserve was bought and merged repeatedly and ended up with EE.

    @skytv Can you Record on Sky Glass & Store the Programmes??? And if you Cancel your Sky Contract can you use the TV as Standard eg like buying a FreeView Box and Connect that???
