    @petercrouch BBC1 is HD on Freeview, which is free, and it's also the first channel. Sky is the problem, not BBC!

    @victoria_racing I had a weird one from a service group but to do with Kogan lack of service. Can't see Optus in this unless someone is listening. Or reading..all I want is an app fix. Not paying for fixing freeview

    @Stephen87495131 @SkyNews They will. So pay tv needs to go Nothing wrong with freeview. Don't buy or take contracts out on the dearest ipads. The Government help for utilities should have been means tested and increased. 100% increase is unaffordable. Food prices are rising especially essential foods.

    @FreeviewAdvice I was watching Challenge TV on Thursday evening on my TV with built-in Freeview. When I went to watch the same channel yesterday, a message “service is not running” appeared. Why has it been withdrawn without notice?

  • FactsStomp Phil's Train and Retro Life (@FactsStomp) reported

    @JHenryHardy @a516digital I honestly don't understand why anybody would watch the funeral coverage in ultra low resolution on the Sky owned Freeview channels rather than on BBC 1,2 or ITV (even in SD)
