    @missellieaquas @GaryLineker Advice needed - I am using mainly freeview programs via aerial and finding less and less I want to watch, but I do like GBNews - I want more than just films and boxsets but would like to cancel my Licence. I do have WiFi/smart TV available - what would anyone suggest

  • mcguirk_26 Lee McGuirk (@mcguirk_26) reported

    @MartinSLewis We have only used a Now TV stick for the last 3 years. Recently got the ariel lead so as to watch freeview. What a load of crap on all these channels. Just full of repeats. No wonder streaming services are doing so well.

  • CraziCatLady Emma (@CraziCatLady) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Hi, if i cancel sky tv can i still use the box to watch freeview?

  • motorbandit12 Darren Robinson (@motorbandit12) reported

    @Stevecathutch Mind if I ask where in the country you are, and what system you were watching on (e.g. Sky/Freeview/Virgin etc.)? Trying to work out what happened, we had the same issue (north Cumbria).

  • Barfette Barfette (@Barfette) reported

    @MartinSLewis Well speaking as someone who has JUST terrestrial tv they are all pretty bad, I tend to watch Freeview and Channel Five more often.

  • there_is_no_if Simon Dau (@there_is_no_if) reported

    @Candice57413407 In general, it's fine. I'm just annoyed at the business model of double profits. Typically nowadays you either offer paid service with no ads (I.e. Netflix), or ad powered service for free (freeview/terestrial TV). Sky is grabbing money here with both hands.

  • dolphino45 jackie hayes (@dolphino45) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Help my freeview has gone down . We have had nothing for a few days. We have retuned and bought a new aerial. Now getting fed up Help

  • tractor_girl99 🚜💙Anna💙🚜 #OFBF (@tractor_girl99) reported

    @itsnickelflysk3 @virginmedia Only problems we seem to have with Virgin is when lightning hits the signal box outside a causes a big outage Thankfully we still have Freeview otherwise will be doomed

  • Williamson_Irl Craig Williamson (@Williamson_Irl) reported from Neillstown, Leinster

    @lordbambitoyou It's not on the Saorview platform. Is it not more a case of picking it up due to being close to NIR and getting a spillover of the UK Freeview signal?

  • RonnieB17187534 Ronnie Buchanan 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@RonnieB17187534) reported

    @freesat_tv Both Sky and Virgin Media tomorrow's new channel Sky Sci-Fi time is 11:00 am. Unknown people like Freeview and Freesat number channel service.
