  • AddingRandomWit Adam Widdrington (@AddingRandomWit) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @bigpapablu @itvfootball I don’t have a sky or freeview box! I stream everything and have very good internet so it’s never an issue haha

  • JonnyRoLi JR (@JonnyRoLi) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @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.

    @edgarwright @broccantyzack @itv2 Would make for a brilliant friday/saturday/sunday triple header. Would love to break it down into how many times a year they appear on freeview TV

  • KcD_PhD Kacie D (@KcD_PhD) reported

    Fellow neuroimagers! My RA has a Mac and I'm a PC user. On my end, freeview opens with no problems. On her end, she gets the message "Segmentation fault". IT has tried to help to no avail. Is there some Mac secret that y'all can share? Thank you! @FreeSurferMRI

  • mikeasharp Mike Sharp (@mikeasharp) reported

    @Channel4 can you fix the uplink. England match keeps going pixelated like it does on a satellite feed. Watching on Freeview HD

    @FreeviewAdvice You seem to have blocked this account from contributing advice to Freeview users who have not been advised that Freeview is fundamentally flawed and they are being forced to pay for a service that can never be reliable. This may not end well...

  • 1Spookybooks Spookybooks (@1Spookybooks) reported

    @newt_kiters I guess when I get round to actually get sky, I won’t need a dish or a set-top box or anything. I’m assuming it will come straight through the TV through the Internet. The trouble is I don’t watch a lot of TV I’m usually listening to music or out walking. Only Freeview

  • peb1986 Paul Byatt (@peb1986) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam how do I cancel my sky box that I only have for freeview so I can get a new box as this one is no longer working

  • UnknownDB64 Ben (@UnknownDB64) reported

  • pumpkingirl89 MelissaW🌸🩸 (@pumpkingirl89) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice My mum lives at LL11 6UN and since yesterday her and her neighbours have had trouble picking up the majority of the freeview channels. Is there any work in the area that has caused this?

    What’s more “event season” than watching Family Guy on Freeview (because none of the other channels have signal) in a Travelodge…
