    @58paulb @Bigdogdigs Always used to buy Panasonic. Then I had a hard drive fail on a freeview box. Panasonic were no help at all, because they didn’t want me to repair it myself.

    @Philips No unfortunately. Lots of going around in circles. Searched the web & it seems lots of people are having same problem with aspect ratio in smart/on demand/freeview play mode, and no solution. Settings changes don’t apply. Maybe a bug on your OS? I returned and went for Samsung 😢

  • rkid_fry Fry💧 (@rkid_fry) reported

    @stfu_nobodyaskd i ain't watch that either ***** I'm poor i had freeview TV in the UK

  • GusArthurr GUS (@GusArthurr) reported

    People should be mad that prior to the pandemic, not a single PL game was shown on freeview and that BT bought all of the CL coverage that used to be shown on ITV but ok now #superleague is a problem?

  • CatAmongPages CatAmongThePages 💙 (@CatAmongPages) reported

    Apparently the BBC et al have pledged millions to Freeview to invest in the service. Sorry, pledged MILLIONS (it's a tabloid headline). That's lovely but personally I'd just like a digital signal. It's been over a year now. There will be no licence fee payment this year. Nope.

    @laazarini7 @pokeefe1 I didn't even bother watching that **** on MNF yesterday. Guessing Neville and Carragher won't be renewing their fat new contracts out of protest and that the Carabao Cup Final will now be on freeview

    601 on Freeview and 981 on Freesat. BBC Red Button. You can watch the military personnel marching into positions for the funeral service.

    @FreeSports_TV Very up and down signal here in Buckinghamshire on freeview.
