    @Leon_C @gerry_berry I'm really not sure about the direction @BritishAlba's social media team have gone in though. They should stick to what they know - cheap tellies with crap freeview tuners.

    Finally, check streaming services. Freevee. The best free streaming service overall Peacock. Pluto TV. Roku Channel. Tubi. ... Crackle. ... Vudu. ... Sling Free. Negotiate a lower monthly cost or switch provider. Take advantage of freeview and freeway. Get those old DVDs out.

    @katzenzungen Moved to "BT" full fibre a few months ago and its half the price and double the speed of Virgin Media. We don't take the TV service (can't even keep up with Freeview/Netflix) but more than happy with it.

    Actually that's not strictly true. Freeview will be offering internet streams of channels as back up in the future, but no sign of when, so that doesn't help you today.

    @TalkTalk my parents have been sent a new talktalk Freeview box. It’s connected up but when watching Freeview they have sound and no picture. Streaming services work ok. Help please?

    @WeaverRacing @Scotracing @pigeon_island I didn’t know Paul O’Grady was a radio DJ ! . Where I live on Freeview TV we loose our Radio 1 and 2 signal daily from 4pm . Comes on again midnight so what shows and presenters are on between these times are alien to me !!

    @UtchStokie @sailingbikeruk I have this problem every week. When MW frequency was available Stoke were always on Freeview. Since that went they're always on FM hence I can't listen nor is Sounds available.

    @aryomjapes @Beccabell05 @katemassey77 The beloved just records them & deletes the adverts if we might want to watch it again, or just fast forwards thro' them if not. We *never* see adverts because we never watch anything live. (Also only watch freeview 'cos there's more than enough to watch on there.)
