    Mum's NCIS marathon inspired me a little. Castle has been repeating on Freeview. And I damn well LOVED that show. For the first five seasons. After which, it sucked.

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi Freeview we have an apartment block in Malton, North Yorkshire. All the TVs have been retuned but the signal is weak and on most of the TVs the picture or the sound is distorted. How can we resolve this problem as it is affecting our business... thanks

  • chrishainstock media:man (@chrishainstock) reported

    @JakTrident @cavaliers_rock @bbcdoctorwho to fully understand the Dr Who sound issues it would be useful to discover who was watching on what platform. E.g. iplayer, Freeview, iplayer HD, BBC though SKy etc - Can I ask what broadcast system were you listening to?

    Well that sucks.I ain’t buying a freeview box set for bloody had channels

  • Viking_Sarah_1 Sarah the Crazy (@Viking_Sarah_1) reported

    @finchoid Joking aside, two of my mates are functioning ****** addicts. After beers once I chased the dragon with them. You know where you inhale the fumes? It was ****! They were out of it, I was looking for something to watch on Freeview. I was actually quite disappointed.

  • DougGore Douglas Gore (@DougGore) reported

    It's 2021 and there is still no sane way to have a streaming equivalent of Freeview or Freesat that can be accessed from a single UI. This is why public service broadcasting is dying.

    @skytv no sky glass as vodafone broadband down, and TV won't pick up freeview as router still on
