    @cromers It’s been so poor that I’ve watched stuff on DVD & iPlayer as well as replays on freeview channels over the festive period. Not to mention audiobooks and podcasts.

    @TheRainbowStand We should be on freeview channel 20. The Drama channel, definitely not on Sky sports all the time. Even Quest don't bother too much anymore. I thought Pulis/Pardew/Sam was bad but it's even worse now. #Shambles

  • TheAngelaKnight Angela Knight (@TheAngelaKnight) reported

    @AdamDraper So true. I discovered recently that home VR headsets have been available since 2016, and a survey some time ago provided my first knowledge of them. Up until then I have never seen them advertised on Freeview channels, in free newspapers, or out and about. Conclusion: they're...

    @TimHoelscherX They likely mean cable or network TV, which when you think about it, is accurate. I don't watch TV (I don't have Freeview set up, nor do I have Sky, TiVO or Virgin Cable etc) but I do have Netflix/Prime, which are websites/apps.

    @dougmcfarlane41 I've still got nowt on freeview, have gone down the firestick route.

    Is it just me or does Amazon prime video have a terrible UI? It feels worse that the freeview apps. Plus some stuff is free some is extra money?

    @jamesmartinchef You think that's bad Carl checkout the food channel on Freeview, Tubbs is on nearly ALL day.

  • BixWeetabecke Bix Weetabecke (@BixWeetabecke) reported

    @IndigoFast @glasgowswestend UKTV Play didn't need one, but it does now. However, the channels they own that aren't on Freeview or Freesat aren't on it. I know why I have an ITV account. They've brought in an ad-free premium subscription service, which is what a lot of commercial radio stations have done.

    @WobbleBoxers I remember this issue with the Freeview recorder on the TV we had to do it on a windows pc and downgrade it to FAT format and then it will work but the hard drive is a better way as long you have a windows computer to downgrade format will let you know.

    @haroldthimbleby Everything fine until I switched to a mono radio station on Freeview, at which point the sound stopped and stayed off until the TV was rebooted. Weird. Rang Sony. “Never heard of that before” they said. “Try using the RCA audio output sockets”. I rewired my cable, it then worked.
