  • Davidp1103 David-19 (@Davidp1103) reported from Gravesend, England

    @TalkTalk It would be nice if you could reduce or remove a £40 charge for an engineer who called but made no inspection of equipment, explained that Freeview channels had been altered; a fact that your customer services were not aware of, but should have known.

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

    @Complyorcry @Back_Two_Mee To @TalkTalk they are okay but the broadband is not a good as VM but it's okay; it cut the monthly bill in half. I have since dropped their tv service and bought a freeview recorder. Monthly bill for broadband/phone £38

  • XtopherCalvert Christmas Calvert (he/him) (@XtopherCalvert) reported from Poplar, England

    Question for arts people. We don’t use Freeview as our signal is much more reliable using Apple TV through our internet connection. Is there a way I can get @SkyArts via Apple TV?

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi, can you please help. I can no longer get Freeview Play on my LG smart TV. When I switch to Channel 100 all I get is Data Only screen. I have tried retuning the TV and following LG advice and still no Freeview Play. Signal strength test was done with no problem

    If I can say only one positive about this World Cup is that, Football being so accessible on freeview TV is brilliant. This should never change and be more regular. Get more Football on freeview TV!

  • xKeithRodenx Keith Roden ◣ ◢ (@xKeithRodenx) reported

    @taffjohnlloyd @skytv No, you can't record once you cancel... Though can still watch the Freeview channels, which is pointless as my telly has Freeview built-in.
