    @Nigel_Farage I never thought I'd find a reason to be happy that my Freeview signal is too crap to pick up a channel.

  • roryobryan Rory O'Bryan (@roryobryan) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice @FreeviewTV It's a usability issue with the Freeview Play software. The program he wants to watch is also available via one of the builtin apps. But there is no choice not to open the app and just watch the show live, so all he gets is a registration screen he can’t understand.

    @BaneNook The 10 minute freeview at 12am every night channel 546. Never did me any harm!

    @MisterQuintus @scottygb @SkyUK Why would they brand a free-to-air channel that would show non-premium programming? There's a good reason Pick isn't Sky-branded... because it's got nothing worth watching. They're hardly going to tarnish the brand by making Sky One a garbage Freeview brand

  • Liberalsnowfl19 Blackbeard 🏴‍☠️🍻 (@Liberalsnowfl19) reported

    @BillySarstard @vwgti80 @DJBURNS_was Yes as the licence fee funds freeview and freesat. Its a public service. Just like council tax payers help fund public libraries. Its providing a service for the masses.

    @lauralaurab8 Some might not want to pay for it, but I know some people who cannot watch as they still only have freeview, or don't have a PC, tablet, mobile or cannot get 3g/broadband signal to be able to watch. I'm in a rural spot and our broadband speed is awful, Discovery+ kept buffering

  • Kenny_Onions Kenny Onions (@Kenny_Onions) reported

    @Allllright Channel 5 started in 1997. Cable was never a thing, we have about 80 Freeview channels now but it's 90% crap. You can't get proper Sky with a dish, they have a VOD kption but it's expensive.

    @GBNEWS If the BBC is such an excellent broadcaster! Why doesn't it create a paywall & create its own wealth? It is wrong that people who pay for sky, virgin or never watch BBC on freeview, have to pay for a license to support a bloated organisation they don't use.

  • Marcus51300652 Marcus (@Marcus51300652) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam hi. I’m going into my final year of uni and I’d like some sort of recording box. I’ve tried freeview/sat but they’re bad. Can I get it for 12 months and not 18? I really don’t need it for 18 and I’m not sure if I can afford it. Also, do you still do Freesat by Sky?

  • mickyjay Micky Jay (@mickyjay) reported

    @PhoenixTCat @MPrepuce We lurv #FREESAT it offers SÖ MUCH MØRE than #FREEVIEW and costs not a Squid more than the initial dish & decoder! I still fail to comprehend WHY THE HELL ANYÒNE CÖULD EVEN CONSIDER @VirginMedia. Yùķ!
