    My @SkyUK box has frozen in a state of #wtf, using on/off/on/off does **** all, tv now gone to freeview and im out of my depth. And my man is sound asleep unwell, bless him. #SilenceIsGolden

    @BoostTorbay @AndrewBrazier1 Never used the first two options. Very much old school. None of the fancy pants Sky or Virgin Media either. Just plain old Freeview for me

    @LynneKerrUK Freeview is a through aerial service and needs an aerial to view. If you wish to use players these can be accessed using the internet. I'm not aware of any Freeview boxes that can take a SIM card but a hotspot may work. Please check manufacturers details for more information.

    @Blodeuweddmoon I'm truly not a #defundbbc type but one of their arguments is the harassment by TV license officers when told no TV etc. Now people lie, so appreciate they have to ask. But our region has no FREEVIEW signal hasn't since the 11th August so they should take that into account too

    @jamiesmart That's maybe more unsettling than a ghost! About 10 years ago I would wake up every night at exactly 3am without fail. 3am being the devil's hour or something. Freaked me out after a month or so. Turned out the Freeview box updated and made a noise.

    With fb etc down the bollocks known as goes wrong show is on BBC1. Ffs. How the actual **** does that shite get made? I don't have sky or netflix. I have "council" tv, freeview. A.k.a. free shite to view and having to pay tv licence for bollocks. Great stuff BBC.

    @KellyQuilt Do you use Freeview/Freesat or a paid for service? If the latter, may be time to switch to the former?

  • KeithCP2 Keith Pates (@KeithCP2) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi I wonder if you could explain why 1 Freeview TV is working on one side of my room, But Another Freeview TV is not working on the other side, I am having to use Virgin on HDMI on that TV is that due to the faults your end? Thanks Keith

  • LMac1970 Mr Lawrence 😷 (@LMac1970) reported

    @KellyQuilt If really battening down, consider ditching any streaming or satellite commitments (FreeSat is good if you have a dish, FreeView if not). Moving to an electric car (or if unfeasible a certain vintage of Citroen C1, Toyota Aygo or Peugeot 106) will save you on fuel and road tax.

    @KeithCP2 Hi Keith, It is unlikely the problem would be related to signal if one TV can receive Freeview channels. However, if you could please DM me your full postcode and house name or number I will look into that for you? Christine

    Looks like Chanbel 4 on Freeview has just gone tits-up AGAIN. Damn it, I’ll have to rejoin Virgin at this rate!
