@Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

@Claire_Pickard @sueashton3000 Many residents in Sunderland & along the Durham Coast also receive Freeview Channels from the Bilsdale transmitter. The fire is also likely to have knocked out about 30 relay stations, which "feed" on signals from Bilsdale. I wouldn't like to climb up the transmitter to fix it!

@DanWoodger Don’t get me started! They are the worst of the worst in a multitude of ways. I’ve been a Plusnet / Freeview customer ever since and would never go back to Virgin EVER! Best of luck getting out!

@Bigpikachu1 @menarepretty @CosmonautMarcus You're legally required to hold a TV license if the house has a TV, I think is what you're thinking. Sky is not TV though, it's a service that has Freeview TV (actual, default TV and channels), as well as 100's more you pay for with whatever deal you signed up to them with.

@IanRedman11 @BBCNews Even when set to london no local news just red screen for 4 mins every 30 mins - its a BBC issue not a settings issue - you watch via Freeview you get local news or via sky you can retune to local news but via app on all hdmi plug in devices no local news

@ITVXhelp @ITVX Whilst I can't comment on the above devices, I can comment on Freeview Play. The Device I baught a mere 28 days ago WILL NEVER work #ITVX even though ITV Hub is installed. Therefore, for you to state, "If your TV had ITV Hub it will automatically upgrade to ITVX." is incorrect.

@FoxyLustyGrover lol, this happens to us as well (we only have freeview), it starts to cut out when there's heavy rain. On Friday it cut out for the longest time it ever has o_O

@SkyHelpTeam please give your engineers better training. Twice in the last year they've disconnected my entire block of flats from the (freeview) aerial when connecting someone to Sky Q, it's taking me months and ££ to fix their mistakes.

@HeatherDarwent That's lovely. I have caught that on Sky Freeview - I never know when it is on though - I must do some research.

@niall_gooch 5 USA (Way down on freeview). Seems to be on as a double bill at weekends, so probably one to record.
