    @steeleyp_ @BigJohnnyArcher Well I've seen a review from someone who's had hands on and they said it does "and an aerial port – which, like with Glass, is just used for Freeview backup when you’re internet is down."

    @Marionblacker1 @implausibleblog Exactly. And theirs is paid by compulsory licence fee to watch a TV even if you don’t want to watch their channels but just freeview. Sad for poor families & elderly who maybe already struggling with cost of living.Obscene really.

    @fiona_skywalker Oh, that was just freeview, it's spams me with red button **** because the TV is connected to my LAN
