    @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.

    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🎅🤶🌲

    Once you've got netflix you realise how many utterly crap films there are, they're a waste of electricity. Even what I thought of as rubbish films when I only had freeview now look top 10%

    @delilahdirk @jonrog1 I support when I can, and bypass / pirate when there are unknown / ridiculous delays for something to get the the UK for watching / Europe (BUT I will still watch when it does come to Europe so it gets the views - be it Disney, Paramount+, Amazon Freeview, or whoever)

    @virginmedia @Spencer83809805 Virgin Media do not provide a reliable service. My brother has recorded some stuff from Forces tv on his freeview box and he can still watch them.

    @FreeviewAdvice total blackout of all freeview channels on our tv in Leicester since yesterday @FreeviewTV What’s going on?!

  • DoktorFuttocks Daniel Emerson (@DoktorFuttocks) reported

    @twarrestrial @rugbyleagueontv Very true. The quality difference between Freeview SD and iPlayer on a Fire TV Stick, even with my slow connection, is stark. Plus, if you watch something as a stream, it is automatically logged in the official viewing figures, which won't happen on FreeView.
