    @364690 Did this last month and my God did they try it on. Now only have Essentials on cancel anytime/no contract and that's only because we have no tv aerial for freeview. Also bought firesticks so even the Sky Essentials will be binned off once got used to using apps on firestick!

    @JamiePa79580833 @juneslater17 Oh that's why my broadband is crap - better get rid of the cat if her chip's interfering with the signal. Is that why sometimes I can get Freeview & other times it tells me ITV, Channel 4... don't exist?

    I didn't really bother much with TV. I could watch "on demand" if I really wanted to see something. But I was given a "smart-vu" dongle. It really pushes you to pay services. It takes two or three attempts to go to freeview. And then, ohh my goodness, TV is terrible.

    @sallyhoult1 @PeacefulUntree And those that say William and Catherine watched Suits are off their rockers. It was allegedly shown on a Freeview channel called Dave. Now I've watched Dave, but I've never even seen Suits advertised, never mind broadcast.
