  @dancludlow Never thought of it even. Not that worried, there'll be a solution. It supposedly has Freesat & Freeview on it. Will have to try to get D's son out here, if he ever stays still, he'll know! TV is 2020 model, hardly top of the range but good enough for me.

  @kategarraway @skytv Sometimes it is a simple reset that can fix it, turn off your Sky Box and broadband router, turn the router back on and wait for it to fully initialise, then turn on the Sky Box You should still be able to watch freeview if you plug the outside ariel directly into the TV.

  @Deano230 @AlStewartOBE It could have developed with FTA broadcasters as Freeview later did. Other problem is it never recovered financially from Sky switching to free box offer.

  @back_the_BBC If the TV licence were to be decriminalised the only way to shore up BBC income would be some form of subscription even if only top up. A key problem, for government is that the #Freeview platform is, er, free, with the technology not currently supporting encryption for payments

  @evilscootus I love sbs on demand and as I access directly through my smart TV I don't have any problems. I find that if I go through freeview it takes ages and searches are almost impossible.

  @MiniShane @JimSterling I mean, we had the same here with analogue. There were still channels that made their money from ad-revenue like ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5, and they're still accessible on Freeview since the switch to digital. I just don't see an issue in funding a public institution

  @Stephensav I don't think there's bandwidth in the freeview signal to carry 4k HDR, where I live I even struggle to get HD on freeview

  Absolutely terrible experience with @skytv tonight, any danger of @SkyHelpTeam actually helping? A 'Call you back in 15 mins to check its worked' took 3 hours, in which it obviously hadn't worked - 👍 happy isolation over Xmas. Viva Freeview! 🎉

  @NigelBig @back_the_BBC @bbcemt weather forecast never mentioned the 'East' so assume a **** up somewhere - this just on satellite or affecting freeview too?

  @RyanDrinkwater2 If the TV upstairs is receiving Freeview OK and is running off the same aerial, then it is likely the cabling/connections or splitter. Try a different coaxial cable, or try tuning in the working TV in on this room to see if the issue persists. Thanks.
