    @FifiOink Haha. First discovered can't watch live on Freeview app, then tried to make an account which wouldn't work, finally managed to hack my own account and then finally buffering issues 😭

  • angelauk1900 Angela🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧 (@angelauk1900) reported

    @JanetMcwee I haven't had a TV aerial for about 20 years. No longer have a Sky box so I watch Freesat via TV ( similar to Freeview) and stream everything else, catchup, iplayers, netflix etc via internet although I do subscribe to NOW TV which is a Sky streaming service.

  • gerardmurray14 Gerard Murray (@gerardmurray14) reported

    @CellaH26 @PastorJimberoo3 I no longer listen to the biggest gobshite in the country. This is 1+ reason why I do not. Nolan & BBCNI working together. I no longer wish to contribute to their salary. Plz anyone point me to alternative service where i can watch freeview channels without paying BBCNI. Thx!

    @Johnnypapa64 @NakedAirplane They should put shows like this on Freeview to counteract all the reality TV crap that's on there day in day out.

  • jsinclair29 James Sinclair (@jsinclair29) reported

    @Crystalangeles2 @MoriartyProfJ3 If you abolish the TV licence you close down Freeview, 4G & 5G - TV licence also pays for that
