    @chloesammike @andywigmore @KayBurley Don't worry you can still get Sky news on channel 132 on your Freeview box. Thick ****.....

  • richard__webb Richard Webb (@richard__webb) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @GBNEWS i was so looking forward to it. But… on freeview the picture quality is really poor, sound is out of sync, and just feels like the sets are dark and badly lit. Took my focus away from listening to whats being projected. #GBNews

    @leefer3 I don’t have any of the channels you pay for, but for the last few weeks I discovered on Freeview no 50 there is a Christmas movies Channel . I watched a couple but they were pretty terrible movies.

    @Ofcom @FreeviewCorp What did Nadine Dorries do SFAdams all she did was ridicule the BBC which is just as bad as Freeview.

    @Frasier67Blank @mat8iou @AvaSantina I'd have guessed you could require an encryption key to demux it, but never dug that deep! My only geeky tech involvement was due to national radio controllers complaining about the Freeview graphic colour palette because it wasn’t absolutely compliant with their branding 🙄

    @danielmgmoylan @GBNEWS What's the Freeview channel number? Never watched it yet.

  • McGuinnessKevin Kevin McGuinness  (@McGuinnessKevin) reported

    @SamsungHelpUK my Samsung 4K TV has developed white rings on the screen. It’s not the Sky Q box I’m using as the issue is still evident on apps, Apple TV box, and the Freeview tuner on the TV. It’s almost 4 years old I would think it should last longer than this.

    @Channel4 Please can you advise as to whether you are aware of issues regarding listings not being available on Freeview devices for the forthcoming weekend?
