  • Lundavra JMB (@Lundavra) reported

    @sophielouisecc I have never seen GBNews, mainly because we have no coverage here from it on Freeview Lite. But I have never spoken to anyone who has watched it?

  • Posyfish James Fisher 🐾 (@Posyfish) reported

    @wil20198865 @beverleyturner Doesn't the licence fee also support freeview and freesat that GB News depends on?

  • GoldnPath Goldenpath (@GoldnPath) reported

    @supertanskiii @skytv I’m already so close to cancelling Sky and going Freeview and streaming channels … can’t believe they wasted my money on this crap

  • KityLonglegs Joanne. (@KityLonglegs) reported

    I’m a sky cuntstomer. Just logged in to SkyGo to find something interesting for tomorrow. **** all I’d watch. Why am I paying about £70 a month for shite I could get for free if I just buy an aerial and freeview?

  • Katielainton princesskate (@Katielainton) reported

    @virginmedia trying to cancel my tv package down to just the free view Chanel’s and your rep that I just spoke to doesn’t know what freeview is? Can anyone help?

  • Eon_Nova Nova Storm 🔜 SOTONFURS (@Eon_Nova) reported

    @kestenan I believe you can own a TV but you only need the License to watch their channels or something stupid. Can use a TV screen for a computer screen if it has no freeview built in. BUT i could be wrong...

  • Cabaal Cabaal 🇮🇪🇪🇺 (@Cabaal) reported

    @adrianweckler Zero interest in Sky for TV. We got rid of it in 2009 with last recession and just watched freeview available channels. People don't realise just how many channels you can watch for free, its fairly decent. Can signup/cancel streaming service as needed then. Big cost savings

  • NeilHoskinsLDnH Neil Hoskins (@NeilHoskinsLDnH) reported

    @FreeviewTV Everybody is telling me that I can still access ITV Hub by other means, but that's not the point. The WHOLE POINT of Freeview Play is its simplicity. You just go back in time in the EPG and it launches the appropriate catch-up service. This change completely breaks that.
