    @KazzyAnnie1 I got fed up with Virgin internet dropping several times a day and the frequent sales calls. I switched to BT, 6 months later I haven't had a single outage or annoying sales call. Speed about the same but it depends on your area. Going freeview too is where I saved money.

    @Fudge_Barge @BBCNews It would damage the revenue streams of commercial channels. They don't want that. Your TV license also pays for the broadcasting infrastructure used by Freeview, broadband rollout and part funds S4C in Wales. It's not just the BBC that benefits.

    @RadioNightTrain @benbakerbooks Working OK on an actual 'Wireless' 📻 & Freeview 716 on TV. Don't know if GHR do a catch-up thing, but for a live quiz that probably wouldn't be much help anyway, would it. @RealKenBruce

  • damoxl Damo (@damoxl) reported

    @Mark_P0x0n @LucyMPowell But I might want to watch something on freeview that requires adverts & a properly costed budget to fund (not BBC) So why should I pay for the BBC when their model is at best a tax on live TV of any sort? This is where the BBC falls down in the modern era, it's simply outdated

  • peb1986 Paul Byatt (@peb1986) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam how do I cancel my sky box that I only have for freeview so I can get a new box as this one is no longer working

  • TkoCymon Cymon Humphries (@TkoCymon) reported

    @GRALCreates @tvukzone Stop tweeting crap . It has an ofcom license is available on satellite & freeview so that’s your answer.
