    @jonnyt78 Not at all. Was supposed to be awful except from some certain sections of the media. Some of the games were of freeview over here as well, I didn’t have a clue

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    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 😂

  • themib Martin Bentley, AKA Martin Bentley (@themib) reported from London, England

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

    I'm going to have to start watching Emmerdale on ITV hub the Freeview signal has cut out on a couple of the recordings this week.

    Typical Friday night: The TV is crap on Freeview. Not a lot on Sky either.

  • rxtv_info RXTV Info (@rxtv_info) reported

    ▶ Channel List Management provides an alternative channel list via the internet to compatible devices and allows broadcasters to do a SD/HD switch. ▶ But the functionality was only added to Freeview Play recently, so not all Freeview Play devices are guaranteed to support this.

    @lauralexx We were so poor, I used to watch to 10 minute Sky Box Office Freeview of J2J. I've still never actually seen it. Sorry Brendan.

    @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."

  • skyblue_England skyblue_england 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧 (@skyblue_England) reported

    @PugTrev Absolutely bang on. The BBC is not an essential service, and the taxpayer should not be forced to pay for it, just for the privilege of watching Freeview on their own television sets! #DefundTheBBC @RishiSunak
