@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!

@Mikalisyid My contract with Sky ended last month & I never renewed. 17 years a customer & I finally had enough. We have Amazon Prime, Netflix, Freeview & so far we’ve literally not noticed it gone as a family. I had the full Sky Q package for £65 so did have a good deal but glad it’s gone.

@MattWWoolwich Haha, my TV only has apps and not conventional channels other than some bizarre Samsung random channels, never really saw the point of getting Sky or freeview as it’s just mainly Netflix these days!

@AppSecBloke I was complaining at Virgin for putting the Bill up to £57/month when the TV service is the same as Freeview&Freesat and I don't need a home phone. Only with them for Internet until I find a different offer. People I work with pay hundreds a month for services you mention.

Has anyone else got the Apple TV. Connection for their TV? It’s a nightmare and the worst possible way to watch TV. EE have given up their excellent system so I has no choice. Talk about long winded routes to watch. Mostly we have gone back to Freeview in the TV.

@minxyme72 Don't watch terrestrial TV anymore, at worst may put something on freeview that I know that I want to watch, but that is very rare as 99.9% of it is total woke pc crap.

@LGUK Sorry but its still disappointing, separate apps for each catch service is not user friendly hence the need for Freeview Play. It’s a kick in the teeth for those who have invested in your product, especially as your promoting new models with Freeview Play. We have been let down!!

@Philips It's buggered! Freeview Play and all its associated Apps have all stopped, producing error FVP-300 and FVP-400. Even the @RakutenTV app has stopped. Can you do an urgent fix, please? This is caused from your recent update and many people are affected.

@jasondcoles Hi Jason, unfortunately LG and Digital UK were unable to reach an agreement for a Freeview Play device in time for the rollout of our 2020 TV range. However, we are working with the broadcasters to support the remaining UK catch-up apps as soon as possible. (1/2)
