  • Digitaltattie KateBakes (@Digitaltattie) reported

    @jdpoc The earliest possible date for a redesign of the Freeview service is 2030, which may simply be a slimming down to some core channels or a switch off, but no decision is even in the offing yet.

    @skytv Hello. Sky Mix FREEVIEW. The picture keeps freezing - has been doing so for over half an hour. North London UK. Please fix

    i hope TNA pulls back somehow, also hope they put their foot down about this WWE partnership, be it gaining something from them or just cutting the tie entirely TNA has a special place in my heart since i wasnt able to watch wwe without sky sports and they were on freeview 😔

    @cudaplumcrazy @jdpoc Earliest date they are possibly going to remove Freeview from a terrestrial signal is 2034. And that's the absolute earliest, it's being reviewed constantly so could be extended.

    @freesatadvice I don’t get any epg . I’m using TV’s satellite tunner directly, it’s connected to the internet but the freeview play never updates the epg. Any advice?

  • nickyjanehill Nicky Hill (@nickyjanehill) reported

    @Hill_Darran @skytv Sky messed up my move & I’ve never bothered getting it again. Thought I’d miss it but don’t at all. NowTV for the few things I really want to see but otherwise on demand & freeview totally fine!

    @BLAHBLAHBL53710 @ECOWARRIORSS u are missing the point, it is swapping from the current freeview to streaming services etc tv licence is a different issue

  • marcrock100 Marc (@marcrock100) reported

    @JennyAThatcher Never watched it, rarely watch anything at the 5 terrestrial UK channels and Freeview.

    @BBCStokeSport @GMcGarrySport @ThePeterMorse Thanks Radio Stoke. So when I'm driving up to Carlisle later I'll have to get my freeview TV connected to the car 🤨. Absolute jokers. Letting Graham and Pete down. Get in the bin #CreweAlex
