    @punkymoose I’ll whack in the coax tomorrow and see what I can do with it, freeview recorders are £120 which isn’t too bad

  • PonyMoore1981 'Pony' Moore (@PonyMoore1981) reported

    @virginmedia are there planned updates to the 360 software coming, I keep getting my TVs volume displayed every 10seconds which can be quite annoying. I don’t get this issue if box is in standby and I’m using my PS4/watching freeview

  • erekose6 hawkmoon62 #FBPE (@erekose6) reported

    If you missed it, @Coldwar_Steve Meets the Outside World repeated 11pm Sky Arts freeview ch 11 On this awful day for the UK something slightly uplifting.

  • konamitoad 👾🐸 B.L.Z.Bub (@konamitoad) reported

    @Wolverinesclaws It doesn’t help that TV (Freeview/Sat - Sky etc) all have godawful reality tv poverty porn. From talk shows, repossessions, court room cases, antiques - it’s all about either having money or not having money. Considering the demographic it hits, I can see why Tories are in...

  • misfitchronicle Adam Briggs (@misfitchronicle) reported

    So I bought a new indoor aerial so I could use freeview... however I’ve discovered that when it’s on, it kills my already shoddy WiFi signal. Soooo openreach... where’s my god damn fibre 😭

  • JohnRClare John Clare 🔶🇪🇺 (@JohnRClare) reported

    @educationgovuk Why doesn't govt start some extra Freeview channels, one for each year of school, to teach kids at home? Lots of issues for access to laptop/broadband. Pretty much everyone has a TV.

  • OhDearHowSad Oh dear, how sad, never mind! (@OhDearHowSad) reported

    @RobNoLastName The best is when I tried to get freeview I rang them up to ask them for help....they couldn't understand why i couldn't get reception as the transmitter is 600m away......they missed the point about terrain though...

  • Somos_LosRojos Thiago Fan (@Somos_LosRojos) reported

    I’m currently planning on fixing the freeview for our tv even though we have my old PS4 down there as a media centre so the tv itself is meaningless
