@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!

@skytv @TalkTV Why is the picture and sound glitchy on TalkTv. The picture quality is great but it's just not playing correctly. Note... Rest of my channels are fine even CNN which in bad weather disappears 1st. Also freeview is working fine... Thank you.

@badmissk @366DaiChallenge I bought a telly for my pensioner sister. I went into Currys and said "doesn't have broadband, not interested in streaming or 'smart', just wants the Freeview channels". You literally can't buy such a thing. I walked out with a JVC with 90% of its functionality she'd never use.

Could @RadioTimes tell me how many times a day I'm expected to re-sign in on their website now after the update? Doesn't seem to matter how many times I set my preferences as Freeview NW, within an hour or so they've defaulted back to every channel London. GRRR

I can't get a Freeview signal (no rooftop aerial, powered indoor aerials don't work) and can't put up a satellite dish. Not paying Virgin. So trying to find a purely digital solution. None are easy or come with a simple guide/planner.

@DimensionsInJen I fully agree but I also wonder if it would help if those who watched or recorded on Freeview/satellite/cable shouldn't also stream it via the iPlayer to ensure it counts. You don't need to watch again, mute the tab and let it run. That's what I'm doing to ensure my view counts.
