@Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

@Claire_Pickard @sueashton3000 Many residents in Sunderland & along the Durham Coast also receive Freeview Channels from the Bilsdale transmitter. The fire is also likely to have knocked out about 30 relay stations, which "feed" on signals from Bilsdale. I wouldn't like to climb up the transmitter to fix it!

@Tim_Pilcher Me. I watch documentaries. Which is why I'm on Sky, best service for them. Now I'm pissed off because I'm likely to lose Sky because my sheltered housing scheme system is faulty. And Swindon Borough Council aren't likely to fix it. I'm going to be stuck with Freeview. 😱😱😱

@oitappin @Simon3470 Not lies. From the BBC "The BBC applies for grants to help fund its research into broadcasting technology that has contributed to developments such as Freeview and DAB digital radio. In 2017-18 it received a grant from the EU of €1,282,331 (£1,145,572).

@Wrightjm6 I had some issues with Freeview a few months back but the people on the advice line were really helpful. They resolved mine by asking me to do a full first time instal with the aerial out and then repeat with the aerial in. That worked and reset everything 👌

@Argos_Online I have just purchased a TV - model ue43tu7020k. I was told by your customer service people that Freeview was available. I cannot download it. Have I been mislead ?

@PaulieHughes Kinda bizarre that Kodi has to be sideloaded, the Fire platform is locked down in mysterious ways... I have two HD 8s at work that I need to short a clock pin on at some point On the missing all front: our Sony TV was missing all the British OD stuff unless you setup Freeview
