    @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

    @GMB @susannareid100 Cancel Sky for starters. Loads of good stuff on Freeview. Those £60 trainers little Chantelle wants? Don't buy them. Cook from scratch. Get a big bag of spuds and a tin of corned beef and do potato hash. Live within your means.

    @FreeviewAdvice Can you confirm if any works are affecting LL30 2SY (Llandundo)? Freeview showing no signal intermittently last couple if days, then completely off yesterday about 4pm. Still no return!!@

    @a516digital If com7 is being removed, it can,t be far off round here. Might be wrong, these might be three network! Who are using 900mhz. What I have found out from alot at work and where my parents live is freeview is very weak at the moment,

    @LeeHurstComic Depends what the source is. If it’s SD freeview it will probably look terrible. Some channels are more compressed than others. Watch the HD channels. Plug a Blu-ray or 4K Blu ray (or watch a 4K film on a streaming service) and it will look like the mut’s nuts.

    @mwnciod @Greyhound_One Check the Freeview site. It could be your decoder. That was my problem as it turned out.

    @Jo_IsABitch Not a fan of that charlatan! Saw him whilst flipping through the religious channels on freeView here, the first time we got the service. Saw his audience, realised really rapidly, he was in it for the money, nothing else! Easy life being given 10+% of everyone’s hard earned money

  • Gary1609 Gary (@Gary1609) reported

    @Bbmorg I support no license thereby giving choice for those who want to watch the other Freeview channels but not BBC the right and freedom to do so. In an age of thousands of channels,& streaming,a license should not forced. I hold the same view regardless of which party is in Govt.
