    @glasound I have SKY broadband, no problems, don't have SKY TV just Freeview on a Smart TV

    @malfouru48 Every Freeview TV has a CAM interface on the rear; in simple terms, a card slot, to facilitate access to encrypted services. The BBC could encrypt the signal tomorrow and all most people would need to do is insert a card into their TV. The BBC and Gov continue to lie about this.

    Hmm, loads of my freeview channels are nothing but fuzzy static but the HD versions are fine. Anyone else got that problem?

    @talktoNHG I live in Old Kenton Lane. At least two flats in our block have reported a problem with Freeview that seems to indicate a problem with the communal system. Most flats use Sky. Tried your app but did not have the right options to report.

    @AmazonFreevee if you're going to play the same commercial over and over can you pick something without the annoying music i.e. oldspice wavy, vacuumed commercial and your Freeview ad with all the horns. It's bad when you have to hear it all day thanks.
