    @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

    @ThatsTVOfficial Great. You have to rely on the old classics due to most of the Freeview Channels being such crap

    John Levene has asked me to point everyone in the direction of the channel U&Eden (Freeview: Channel 57/Freesat: Channel 160) which is showing a bumper Benton package today : The Time Monster and The Three Doctors. Not a bad way to spend Boxing Day.

    @cordbusters Sky Satellite is better then streaming if your internet goes down your stuck with boring old freeview. I just hope Foxtel in Austraila where i live don't stop selling their iQ boxes otherwise i will use my tv as a computer monitor just to watch youtube nothing else.
