Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

@tinytwink The poor shouldn't have anything they have to work for. Big screen TV - nope. Netflix - what's wrong with Freeview? Mobile phone - can't they walk to the phone box on the corner that was disconnected five years ago. They think if you're poor you should suffer or not be poor.

@LGUKCare The challenges on this LG TV are many: no freeview play or freely, the horrible remote control is difficult to use, the difficulty switching sources, popups appear for no apparent reason to do something, etc #Fail @lguk @johnlewishelp

Is there some reason only the @ITV 2 freeview signal keeps breaking up every evening? It's unwatchable and I've retuned the TV several times already.

@Jo2901TF @elementalvenus I have a 63 year old child who couldn't live without it - I have Sky Q so it works seamlessly with a second TV without wires so I do like it for that, plus our TV signal is very bad where we live. We can only get the BBC channels on DAB radio and our freeview doesn't have things like GB News on it as we only get the main 30 or so channels as we're on a small transmitter. We can't even get Classic FM on DAB or FM

@leethommo I suppose it was the best of a bad job, the rest of the TV schedule (especially for tight wads like me who just have Freeview) was pretty appalling. Lots probably just watch out of habit (that’s kind of what we do). It was pretty grim though.
