  • margatesunsets Fiona K. (@margatesunsets) reported from Margate, England

    @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.

    @LightsOutF1Blog @SkySportsF1 @SkyHelpTeam Would also be interested to se if you can get it for £10 through a different service eg virgin/freeview

    @GeekCliche If Sky continue to advertise on GB News, why not switch to BT? I’d suggest Virgin but they’re a greedy company with bad ethics. You may also want to get a Freesat box for another room in your house for free channels not available on Freeview!

    @GBNEWS Please please please can someone fix the audio delay on the freeview channel..have persevered but find it unwatchable with the presenters lips so far out of synch with the video.

  • TheRealPeterWa1 The Real Peter Wayne (@TheRealPeterWa1) reported

    If anybody's feeling masochistic tonight, there is a solid six hours of the first series of women's prison drama, "Bad Girls" from 10 to 10 on freeview Drama.

    Our accommodation has only got #Freeview. I’m beginning to have genuine sympathy for poor people.

    @htwcentral @thisisrjg Trouble is, so few had analogue tuners 😔 (although I do have one with analogue and freeview tuners)

  • MCY1X 💙 Michael of Sussex 🇬🇧🇮🇪🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈 (@MCY1X) reported

    Me days my #Freeview is better than others, but today I can’t get a single channel! Don’t know if it’s the aerial causing the problem or just an unusually weak signal?

  • luke0586 Luke Clarke (@luke0586) reported

    @skytv @SkyHelpTeam it’s always confused me that if you pay Sky for their TV service using their equipment and dishes, you still have to pay for a separate licence… surely this should be included in your billing as they are providing the service… #TVLicence #Sky #Freeview

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • SimonScottUKNZ Simon Scott (@SimonScottUKNZ) reported

    @ianpaynesport you can change the tv channel numbers, mind you it took me 10 years to find out. Eg. One is no longer bbc, it can be whatever you set it as. (Freeview) I never watch bbc itv channel 4
