    Virgin tv and broadband gone down yet again. Resorting to Freeview right now. The picture quality is actually much better than Virgin...AND no glitches and constant picture breakup!!

    @bt_uk Just ordered, as previously had a failed install due to weak aerial signal. Are the freeview channels now over internet available to be recorded? Thanks

  • oldwarrenpoint Brian McCalmont (@oldwarrenpoint) reported

    @wilsondan @VodafoneUK @GeorgeMonbiot To be honest its actually the best network here (but not by much) Next choice from locals I have previously had conversations with is 3. We are in a "geographically challenged" area. We still only get basic Freeview telly for example - but we do get RTE so I dunno....

    I’m ditching Virgin - I’m being fed repeats & Bullshit TV….much of which is on Freeview & Free-sat etc., what is going on? Terminated my contract over a yr ago in writing and they ignored me? No landline 4 over a yr. WTF? And the Legalities? I’m going Commando!

  • RobertW04523526 JarlGrBane (@RobertW04523526) reported

    @VABVOX Some apps that may help, Plex, Popcorn Flix, Freeview, crackle and Zumo. Amazon prime has a price lowering government option I think still.

    @BBCiPlayerForum anyone help with solutions for how I can get iPlayer working again on my freeview TV? Not fire stick or Roku apps etc. get error 02056 (think it’s that number). I’ve logged out and back on, removed and reinstalled but still no luck. TIA

  • rutty_uk Dave Rutt (@rutty_uk) reported

    @LeadTestInclude We canned Virgin to go with Freeview plus Now Entertainment package. Still fairly cheap I guess. Just about enough programming that isn’t covered elsewhere. The NowTV box we have is rubbish. Awful interface (but it works - no channel numbers for freeview channels)

    @LindaC29022195 Hi, Linda. I can't speak for every box but generally, you should be able to watch recordings on a box when there's no Freeview signal. Fraser

  • BenJohn45874515 Ben Johnson (@BenJohn45874515) reported

    I've got a LG telly. Problem is that everytime I turn the telly back on, after it being off overnight, it comes on in Freeview mode. Freeview is the "Live TV" setting. If I change that setting to Freesat then it comes back on with whatever I was watching last. Why?

    Has anyone bought a new tv recently? My mum bought a Freeview Logik Android TV recently and it’s absolutely trash. Loads so slowly, can’t record anything. Are cheap TVs just **** now???
