    @NototyrannyNOW I just watch a bit of Freeview after 8.00pm but I usually have my nose in a book at the same time. But I didn't really watch TV much for years, preferring to read. I am convinced that the public have been brainwashed through TV for years, soaps, sports & god awful Reality TV.

    @mikeportsmouth We got £40 off very easily by saying we were going to leave, but still too much so will be looking at the options in this thread. But have a good Ariel now so Freeview for us just to decide which broadband to go for. Virgin are awful though. Good luck

    Just started watching season 1 of #midnightdiner. How have I missed this Japanese series. Thanks @netflix Nice to see a such a human, funny and meaningful and creative show. Shows what absolute mindless drivel is forced down the public throats on standard freeview channels.

    @WolfgangDikface No. I only have Freeview, so no option, but I don't think it's my cup of tea. I've not got much patience with fantasy or sci-fi type films/programmes. I have enough trouble with real life.

    Watching a DVD-R of Quatermass 2 recorded on my DVD recorder way back in 2006 connected via scart to my Freeview box... and it looks, errm 'poor' MPEG2>analogue PAL>MPEG2 recording and watched back on a 55" 2160p screen!

  • JohnLoony John Cartwright (@JohnLoony) reported

    Just watched “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” (1986) on the Great Movies channel (Freeview 33). Unfortunately and inexplicably they cut out the final scene. #FerrisBueller

    @FreeviewTV Would love to if the entire freeview network was not down.

  • Sketchbroom Siân :P (@Sketchbroom) reported

    Ok help how are people actually watching from the freeview app? I can’t play anything 😭

  • tramac1964 Traceymac1964 (@tramac1964) reported

    @mulvey_adam Doesn't surprise me seeing as the Xmas channels turn up on Freeview in October every year without fail!

  • LGUK LG UK (@LGUK) reported

    @lulu02608 Hi Louise, unfortunately LG and Digital UK were unable to reach an agreement for a Freeview Play device in time for the rollout of LG’s 2020 TV range, and this is why our 2020 models don't support the All4 app. (1/3)
