    @SkyUK Freeview Play should get Sky Play App with Sky Arts, Challenge, Pick and News the Freeview channels free of charge with the option to further login with your forum password and put your viewing card number in. That converts existing smart TVs into a Sky Glass TV as well.

    @ThisisACTV Think loosing the number on channels like sky is doing with sky one does give more impact on streaming service. The numbers ok if Freeview and channel hopping but the future landscape is more streaming so build up change now try out new things before it's too late.

    @sarahMo3W @susankmann @TheDTblogs Having too much choice really is a 1st world problem. Between Netflix, Prime and Disney+ as well as NowTV and all the freeview stuff. I liked having 4 channels to pick from.

  • DavidBoink David ***** (@DavidBoink) reported

    @Dandlio19372821 because the #freeview signal is so bad at the moment and boosted by sky & virgin, you'd be better off watching it straight off the telly

  • AndyD_Ninja 🔰Andy Danbury (@AndyD_Ninja) reported

    @SkyUK #skyglass? Qs. 1. Who manufactures the TVs for Sky? 2. If you cancel sky, this then renders the TV useless? 3. No option to view any other service? eg freeview 4. No alternative if BBand dies? 5. No such thing as "live" TV as everything is delayed? Not enough info given on this.

    @TheAHL Ahl tv is not working. It is asking for a subscription to view the game but it is part of the freeview. Please help ASAP

    I would like #vegansuk just to take a look at how farmers care for their animals. With sheep, look at what they supply beyond meat. Go out buy wool to insulate your homes, insulate yourselves. Never think an animal is wasted. Freeview 82 now @Katehumble make nature work) #vegans
