    Hey @ITV, this is your annual reminder to fix your @itvhub app to play any video at all on a Freeview Play TV (LG). Will uninstall for now.

    @TheWestonMike @JohnJCrace @gordonrlove Ah, yeah you so need a license to watch Freesat or Freeview live. Not if you watch All4 though. That's a streaming service which you don't need a license for. My bad.

    I'm going to treat myself to a big bar of chocolate today. Apart from being a clever little boy FINALLY setting up my new TV and Freeview Recorder and Google Laptop I also had good news on my diabetes, still OK and my blood pressure, normal. Umm maybe chocolate isn't a good idea

    @bedford_colleen I think our TV is 40 something inches, had it a good few years but I've never watched it. Herself, who does watch TV, dumped Sky years ago - not worth the money she said; now uses something called Freeview (?).

    @SherlocksSpring don't watch that crap, haven't since Wright did it. New name, same old bigoted **** from #ScourgeOfTheTvChannels who is no longer on my Freeview box. @gnomeicide

    @IsraelHands2 If the problem persists it might be worth speaking with Freeview advice line on 03456 505050 as there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to get us.

    @PauletteFarrell @thecricketmen Do you really think it hasn't suffered and cricket too. How many people will cancel sky when they have to cut back as millions will with the cost of living going up so terribly. And what is FTA ? Free if you already have sky or actually available on Freeview or just plain TV ? I

    @VoiceofCal It's only if you watch or record live TV or watch anything on iPlayer which is the BBC's own video on demand service. This includes any channel broadcasting in the UK, Sky, freesat, even freeview tv-the channels preprogrammed into a TV when you buy it.

  • EmmaLovelace Emma Lovelace (@EmmaLovelace) reported

    Freeview is a bit crap at times, no BBC channels at the moment.
