-
365 Days of Dave (@timbcaycgi) reported@ChrisHazzardSF My understanding is that RTE services work on the Freeview platform via terrestrial signal deep beyond the boarder counties. With RTE themselves saying that the signal strength is high in the boarder region and moderate beyond

Tony Carrick (@tceesanfran) reported@jamosameo @cordbusters I agree the interface is awful for recording It's as if they only added the Freeview recording facility at the last moment in development... Was looking forward to this device for months but returned mine to Richer Sounds within the returns period

Gary Richmond (@gaswold) reported@archivetvmus71 I adored The Rockford Files. Garner was superb. Can't understand why it never gets any repeats on any of the Freeview channels.

Andy (@jump_drive_flyr) reported@drewwagar A show I've never seen mostly due to not being signed up with any streaming services, I'm patient it'll come onto Freeview at some point like the others in time.

Peter Melvyn714 ( Somewhere in N.E. England, U.K.) (@peter_melvyn) reportedThe 1970s : "Those were the Days" on Freeview : What really pisses me right off is most of the ******** spouting off total bullshite about the 1970s weren't even born so why don't they get a proper job and stop making themselves look like a superior *******.

Louis May (M0nsoonYT) (@LouisMay07) reportedGutted about this… CITV was amazing for a kid who only had Freeview. Cartoons like Pokemon, Horrid Henry and Grizzly Tales, live action like Jungle Run. Kids today are missing out massively- I urge ITV to change this decision and keep CITV for the new generation. #SaveCITV

Mr. Kiwi (@MrHilariouskiwi) reportedBit slow off the mark with this one. Thought I'd fire up the FreeView sat box but NOT WORKING because in April 2025 (AKA 'just recently Mr. Kiwi 🙄) is dead will not talk to 'new satellite'. So much for watching winter Olympics.

Marina (and Buster🐾)🐈🚣♀️ (@mpmeg) reported@MajQapla The Encore app is a catch up only service, and doesn't show live TV. I expect Abigail's Party will be added after broadcast. I watch TPTV via Virgin media channel 445, I know it is on Freeview (81?)

'darnstadium' (@darnstadium) reportedUnder 'Damn right' hanging on to my old now-illegal video senders in case the manure hits the rapidly spinning devices and they turn off Freeview. Generating DIY digital TV as an act of protest with QR codes so folks can still access things.

Sam (@samazas) reported@rizzles066 @NotFarLeftAtAll Water and tv bills are the different things. This outdated laws about tv license are causing all those problems. Nowadays not many people still watch BBC or other freeview chanel. People browsing on the internet for news or watching YouTube…
