    @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

    @dougmcfarlane41 It's not fair to blame Freeview. They didn't set fire to the transmitter and they don't own or maintain it. Arquiva are doing their best but they being hampered by legal issues due to the fact that it's in an area of scientific interest. We have to be patient.

    @DefundBBC I look at #freeview TV schedule a couple of times a week & rarely find anything I want to watch on any of the channels. But I'm an old ***. My son NEVER bothers with the main TV at all. Tablet, pc or phone is where he & his peers view content. #bbc etc take note.

    I swear #skybroadband is down at least every other week... was working fine until now. Wanted to watch something on freeview play but my smart TV runs off WiFi and currently have none. Good luck to my older sister who works remotely/from home with no WiFi shew screwed.

    Good to see the urgency with which @arqiva have restored Freeview to the good people of North Yorkshire. Just the three weeks now without any service.

    @JaTeken Pity we don't get a rebate for the fact we can't pick up all Freeview channels (the mobile signal's rubbish as well) and there's no FTTP here.

    @Torogram87 @SkyUK Happened to me thought my smart TV broke but wanted to watch something on Freeview Play but but the Internet is down again
