    People who have Freeview - is it just a one off cost for the box or subscription and can you record stuff? (Am trying to figure out tv options and can't get virgin and sky i think you need a dish. Aerial is crap here)

    @SkyHelpTeam please give your engineers better training. Twice in the last year they've disconnected my entire block of flats from the (freeview) aerial when connecting someone to Sky Q, it's taking me months and ££ to fix their mistakes.

    @JackEDavies Hi, Jack. Sorry to hear that you're having problems with Freeview Play. What's happening when you're trying to use the service? Fraser

    @Bigpikachu1 @menarepretty @CosmonautMarcus You're legally required to hold a TV license if the house has a TV, I think is what you're thinking. Sky is not TV though, it's a service that has Freeview TV (actual, default TV and channels), as well as 100's more you pay for with whatever deal you signed up to them with.

    @AdamT_78 @virginmedia Yep. Just had the same email...mine is going up £12. I've only got basic TV package. I can get those channels on freeview. Its worse! From Apr 2024 because we know the rate is going up regularly at the same time every year by RPI +3.9% we won't have the 'right to cancel' 😡

  • Humour_ous Animal the return (@Humour_ous) reported

    @SKYNZ have you changed your neon platform for streaming its gone very slow & clunky for menu and such, my freeview/netflix/prime/skysportnow all good just your ap. My previous subscription verging on ending, was keen on continuing but now?

  • Bridgeanne Anne Booth 💙 (@Bridgeanne) reported

    @HeatherDarwent That's lovely. I have caught that on Sky Freeview - I never know when it is on though - I must do some research.

  • GladiatrixRedux Gladiatrix52 (@GladiatrixRedux) reported

    @JamesTurner37 OK, having done this myself: yes you can access e g., BBC via a Firestick OR you can buy a smart TV that already has the terrestrial channels and Anazon etc installed. You may require an aerial for Freeview depending on the local signal. 1/

  • Starrygem4 DianeB ♀️ (@Starrygem4) reported

    @nerans1 @virginmedia Same here. I can get the channels I watch on freeview anyway. Having the option to record is the only reason I was hanging on but my tivo box is crap and keeps failing and I can get everything on the smart TV apps anyway. @virginmedia taking the p#$$

  • thelmarouge thelmarouge🗨 (@thelmarouge) reported

    @Starrygem4 Web said page not available. Thanks anyway Diane. The annoying thing is, I already registered months ago, but recently sign in came up for every prog and its so frustrating. I don't get tv reception where I live, so can't watch on freeview. Why do we have to sign in at all?

    @GrantRustique it looks awful whether you pay for it, mental that freeview actually looks better
