    @illarterate @TeletextR @that_other_Carl It wasn’t too bad on Freeview but it was terrible on Sky. Really, really slow

  • gazpunch Gary Phillips 💙 (@gazpunch) reported

    Well my Freeview signal is still knackered so this is a bit 💩 I can't watch LOTSW 😖

  • LauraPh222 Laura Phillips 💙 (@LauraPh222) reported

    Opting in models don’t work for public service broadcasting which has mandate to inform public in emergencies, educate, entertain+ provide balanced news. Subscription model does not work on radio or on free-to-air television systems such as Freeview.

  • Kim_x0 Kim_x0 (@Kim_x0) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Sorry should have said sky+ multiroom and they both have the same issue with the freeview channels

  • kerry_moakes Kerry Moakes (@kerry_moakes) reported

    @Telegraph Oh blast! I’m out when the interview will be on TV. I’ll have to record it on my Freeview recorder box so I can record over it when I get in with something I give a **** about!🙄

  • luckysalt Kev Wilson 🦁 (@luckysalt) reported

    @Hawky93 Was stupid they removed it from freeview, cutting their figures down and it's meant to be a 'news' channel, if Sky News is on freeview why wouldn't they want their 'Sport' news. They kicked off and got another freeview slot for Sky Arts. But they still have Pick which is a waste.

    If your elderly and not good with technology or have poor eyesight.....FORGET IT. Go to FREEVIEW.......IT DOES’NT COST A FORTUNE a month, it’s EASY to use. SKY are pushing SKY Q because it suits THEIR PURPOSE....the CUSTOMER does not count....all they want is YOUR MONEY

  • fleming77 Jane Fleming (@fleming77) reported

    BBC, ITV and Channel 4 have jointly announced plans to integrate the terrestrial television service Freeview operated by Digital UK with Freesat, the satellite television service available without subscription.

    @Vitu_E "Yeah, I thought I'd choose a handle that makes me sound like a bad freeview rip-off of the Discovery Channel, that'll bolster my credibility..."

  • safc4ever John Dunne ♿👨🏻‍🦼💙 (@safc4ever) reported

    Anybody else in London getting problems with the @FreeviewTV signal this afternoon? TV and Free view box both freezing & restoring every second or two. Freesat is working fine, but I can't watch / record different channels at the same time, like I can on Freeview.
