    @Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

    @edgarwright @broccantyzack @itv2 Would make for a brilliant friday/saturday/sunday triple header. Would love to break it down into how many times a year they appear on freeview TV

    Freeview channel 53 crashed the smart tv. Google said unplug, and then said reflow the motherboard in oven 🔥. Managed to solve it by pressing lots of buttons all at once whilst holding down the power button onto AV menu🍺

    @ronlondoncon Sorry can't help, not very modern on TV or Freeview, looks very computer like 😟😟. Good luck 🤞and happy new house💐

  • Al_Hine Al Hine (@Al_Hine) reported

    @rewind_ttvr Funny how the Beeb use the time difference between digital platforms excuse to not have an onscreen clock, yet @BBCRadio4 broadcast's the Greenwich Time Signal. Radio 4 is on multiple outlets - all a couple of seconds behind LW / FM / DAB / Freeview / D-Sat etc.

    @bt_uk Well good news and bad, the good news is the guide is back on, the bad news I've only got my internet channels 340 onwards working, so I think it's a local Freeview issue with the terrestrial channels

  • SimonDelafield Simon Delafield (@SimonDelafield) reported

    @talkRADIO @calvinrobinson @PatrickChristys As I understand it, the argument is that because of poor broadband the BBC can’t move to a Netflix like service at this time. But it could be a subscription platform on Freeview - they already exist. It doesn’t need to be on broadband to be a subscription service.

    @ArghZombies We did that about 12 months ago and have not missed anything. We have freeview but have never used it. Ailey exist on Netflix, Prime and my Plex library. Plus we’re £100 a month better off.

  • Vinlandmapinfo David Bradbury (@Vinlandmapinfo) reported

    @ruzzfeed @back_the_BBC Not such a chasm as it appears. The government wants to run down the Freeview system and prioritise streaming, with help from the BBC & ITV, but current broadband can't cope with 10 million people watching an England World Cup match at the same time.
