    @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

  • 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.

    @msapsfordmusic What I don’t like is that you record a movie that’s on regular tv then you go to watch it a few days later & it sky store only plus there’s loads of Freeview that’s on sky q but not on glass. We’ve only had problems with the remote tbh I know others have had glitches on screen

    @AnnReynold73527 @FreeviewTV Freeview TV guide reception in East Yorkshire around early November 2025. The Belmont transmitter, which serves much of the region including Hull and surrounding areas, had planned engineering works during the week starting October 27, 2025. This could lead to signal disruptions.
