    Why is there still no #Horrorchannel app?? Wtf they playing at?? Come on and give us something better than #Horrorbites on that awful Freeview!

    @Nur_Jahan786 @SkyUK From what I tell it’s just a Samsung TV which means you could still plug a set top box into one of the HDMIs or use Freeview just like any other tv. I guess this just has the new Sky streaming service built in.

    It's currently impossible to "stream it like it's TV". Whomever solves this problem, Wins. And, people want Freeview channels as basic. They'll subscribe for my Eva Longoria Movies. 😎

    Dear ITV Put some money in your meter, your channels have gone done down on Freeview.

    @My5_tv There are good programmes on Ch 5 but my5 is not user friendly. A Search option for recent progs would help and an alphabet to help navigate browse. And why is My5 not showing current series of Highland Vet & Casualty24/7? (I watch on Freeview/smartTV).

  • JStewart_15 Josh Stewart (@JStewart_15) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam does sky glass have an Ariel port so if WiFi went down we could still watch freeview?

  • beebusinessbee Bee Business Bee (@beebusinessbee) reported

    @officalITV It appears that your channels are down on Freeview. Still can view them via ITV Hub, however surprised you have not put some statement out on this outage, given the number of complaints being made.
