  • AddingRandomWit Adam Widdrington (@AddingRandomWit) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @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.

    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🎅🤶🌲

    @JANUSZCZAK It's free live on Freeview. But you have to find it and record it at the time: there is no catch-up service like iPlayer &c. That's the PITA that makes me with much regret miss most of your stuff. No replay.

    @kelvin5385 Hi, Kelvin. Sorry to hear that you're having problems with Freeview. If you can DM us your postcode along with house number or name, we can check for any known problems and advise from there. Fraser

  • CaptainHippo Chris Cain (@CaptainHippo) reported

    Hi @davechannel @arqiva. Trying to watch Room 101 on Freeview and screen keeps going black at random intervals. Lasts about a second. Other channels are fine, including others on the ARQA mux. So would seem to be Dave specific issue.

  • AndyGraysdouble Robert Martin (@AndyGraysdouble) reported

    @Honeythedog1 A contract is a contract, if they ramp the price up you can presumably repudiate it and go else where, like NOW, or be like me. I‘ll never take a SKY package. Freeview ( aka Cooncil telly +) , Amazon Prime and Netflix might be a decent low cost bet.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @zakir___1988 Hi, Zakir. Whether live is available on a catch-up service would be down to the service itself, though generally, the catch-up services on Freeview Play are to be used in conjunction with the standard Freeview service. Fraser

  • explodingwalrus Carl Draper (@explodingwalrus) reported

    @freesat_tv series link doesn't work for for University Challenge. Yet it can be done on Freeview. This is not good

  • back_the_BBC Back the BBC 📺📻📡📱 (@back_the_BBC) reported

    @Matt_1269501 What would you do - upgrade the UK's internet infrastructure so that everyone can get the BBC over 5G or the internet (reasonably impossible) or replace Freeview with an encrypted service? (also impossible)

  • suseabbott sue (@suseabbott) reported

    Gonna have a retro Christmas! Radio Times and no tv recording/pausing, we are pretending it’s the 70s again! Also known as the sky box has broken and we have no Freeview… #wewillhavetotalktoeachother

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital I personally am happy for an ip future, if and when it finally takes off. But i think the bbc might be too ambitious for 2030. Freeview is a good service where you can get it.

  • BigDog250862 Stephen (@BigDog250862) reported

    @danwootton Dan, I want to watch but it seems my Freeview signal is too weak on the GB News channel and no pictures appear. Only on that Channel. Any ideas? Thanks.
