    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

    @stevieboywise If that’s Freeview maybe due to high pressure issue again.

    @Samantha_J_Rea Hmm not to sure about freeview but definitely freesat it’s been taken off for over a year. Probably the same though. Sucks big time. Anyway. Hope you are well.

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

    @PayneB44 @tomhfh @BBC Your point was you want a break from it. There’s 1000s of channels, Freeview, YouTube, Sky, NOWTV, Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, BRITBOX DVDs, Blu-rays. Boxsets. There’s never been so much content to take your mind off it. Or just turn the telly off.

    @ITV @itvhub wtf can't I cast ITV to my TV??? I can't watch ITV Hub live through Freeview. I don't have an aerial connected. What's the issue here?? No other channel gives me this grief.

    I’m glad the Twitter memes are in glorious HD since ITV 2 isn’t on Freeview, it feels like I’m watching a cam copy of the show the quality is so bad in standard definition #LoveIsland

    @gamray I don't get a signal in my flat unless I work for it, Rod Hull style. I have a TV with an in-built freeview box. It's also

    @blogmywiki Absolutely, and has the least delay! Still, anyone who happens to be a Sky or Virgin subscriber also has another option to get ITV. Or I can recommend setting up a Plex server with a network Freeview tuner- a DIY PVR / streaming service.

    @scottygb It is crap, having watch games on freeview. Terrible to navigate, stops and starts.

    @gamray I'm in my late 20s and I have never had a telly with Freeview. Watch everything online.

    @DetroitBORG Last time I checked, there’s no way to watch live tv channels? Seems like a missed opportunity to get people using Apple TV. Every Freeview PVR box I’ve had has been crap, the Virgin / TiVo box was good - just too expensive.

    @mark_simpson @jamesrhamilton @floongle Sorry to interrupt, but I was scratching my head for ages when I got my Samsung 4K TV. Apparently they reckon it's a feature for "upscaling" SD pictures on the built-in Freeview tuner.,without realising it makes some SD channels look even more bad than they normally are.

    @ITV thought I’d try and enjoy the football on itv hub as have not Freeview signal… yet again the stream has stopped after the ads. #fail #itvhubsucks
