    @FreeviewAdvice Hi Lisa. I definitely have a TCL television however when I go to use Freeview Play or one of the Freeview Play apps I'm prompted to accept terms and conditions that never appear. How can I check if my specific TV should have Freeview Play working.

    Mum's NCIS marathon inspired me a little. Castle has been repeating on Freeview. And I damn well LOVED that show. For the first five seasons. After which, it sucked.

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi Freeview we have an apartment block in Malton, North Yorkshire. All the TVs have been retuned but the signal is weak and on most of the TVs the picture or the sound is distorted. How can we resolve this problem as it is affecting our business... thanks

    @wtb6chiny @rbripley The last time I saw it was a few months ago, on one of the more downmarket movie channels on freeview. They had the magnificent bad taste to cut to a commercial break *right* in the middle of the earthquake.

    ⏰ #COP26 is now only days away. But what should world leaders be focusing on? Present problems or future challenges? We'll be discussing this on the #DailyClimateShow with @Dr_Gilbz and @StanleyPJohnson. 🕡6:30pm 📺Sky 501/Freeview 233
