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!!

@jaxlfc_jj @YaTerrynorris70 It’s not restricted to the BBC. If you watch or record live TV on any channel - either through your TV or through a website - then you need a TV licence. This applies whether you receive Freesat, Freeview or a pay-TV service in your home, & whether or not you watch BBC channels.

@AndrewGrill @skytv Only a game-changer if you never plan to cancel Sky. Freeview not included outside the PSBs, no aerial socket for DTT and forever locked into a Sky OS... great fun if you choose to cancel Sky TV. No third-party services/apps other than what Sky say you can have. No thanks.

@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

@officalITV It appears that your channels are down on Freeview. Still can view them via ITV Hub, however surprised you have not put some statement out on this outage, given the number of complaints being made.

@queenchristina_ @AliMirajUK @jonathansamuels Sky news signal on Freeview non existent tonight.

@LucyTurner_x @skytv Yes, £10 per month no matter how many pucks you have. The £50 per box charge is steep though. If broadband goes down, you can’t access any content as it doesn’t have a hard drive so you won’t even have recordings to watch. Only way around that is to have an aerial for Freeview

@docrussjackson @ta_mills A freeview retune meant l lost most channels a few months before I cancelled it anyway and even new cabling, a filter and a signal booster didn’t help. I refuse to pay for something with opt-in alternatives just to be an obedient sap.

@anditsinthere_7 @TheEverydayMan_ @SkyUK You're left with a 48-month credit agreement for a TV tied to the Sky OS. You don't even get all Freeview channels or an aerial socket on the back. No satellite tuner so unless you LIVE for Sky and plan to NEVER cancel, it'd be a huge waste of money.

@SimonNewton5 @TransAm58 @arqiva ... many areas that are served by relay transmitters (ie. not the main masts - but secondary relays) do not have access to the full range of Freeview channels - the broadcasters decided it is not worth the cost to cover those areas with a primary service, let alone a backup.

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. 😎

@Markylad29 @boxhits @4Music Unfortunately for now it isn’t permanent, just a back up as 4Music is still off air following issues at Red Bee Media… but you never know, Box Plus may see the interest in having a second channel on Freeview
