    @gamray Freeview signal is practically non existent in many buildings.

    @blogmywiki Absolutely, and has the least delay! Still, anyone who happens to be a Sky or Virgin subscriber also has another option to get ITV. Or I can recommend setting up a Plex server with a network Freeview tuner- a DIY PVR / streaming service.

    @gamray I'm in my late 20s and I have never had a telly with Freeview. Watch everything online.

    @gbnews Have you lowered the bit rate on your Freeview channel? It's stuttering and the lighting is also very poor. What on earth is going on? It's worse than a Skype call.

    @ITV @itvhub wtf can't I cast ITV to my TV??? I can't watch ITV Hub live through Freeview. I don't have an aerial connected. What's the issue here?? No other channel gives me this grief.

  • neilroarty Neil Roarty (@neilroarty) reported

    @gamray I don't get a signal in my flat unless I work for it, Rod Hull style. I have a TV with an in-built freeview box. It's also

    @mark_simpson @jamesrhamilton @floongle Sorry to interrupt, but I was scratching my head for ages when I got my Samsung 4K TV. Apparently they reckon it's a feature for "upscaling" SD pictures on the built-in Freeview tuner.,without realising it makes some SD channels look even more bad than they normally are.
