    Ok, Peanut Gallery, what is a decent news/current events show available on Freeview that I can watch for 15 minutes in the morning before work with my cereal? I can't do Piers Morgan, and BBC Breakfast IS pretty poor, I'll admit.

  • PatrickJMB Patrick Brannigan 💙💙 🎼🎶📸 recalibrate polity (@PatrickJMB) reported

    @bookplatypus I can get the iPlayer and All 4 via my TV, but to record RTE programmes, I need the Freeview box to record. I'm wondering if there is a solution I'm missing.

    @virginmedia We get freeview on our tele. We got told that an engineer would come around within an alloted time, and they never arrived. We just got cables posted later that week. It's sad that Virgin don't look after their loyal customers, just charge them more every year.

    @_BethanyRoseFox Lady Gaga is brilliant and not a bad actress - I think ‘a star is born’ is still up on one of the freeview channels

  • SancastleAir SanCastle Air (@SancastleAir) reported

    @magicfurryidiot @heyjenbartel The only Netflix show I've grabbed is The Crown & that's not for me anyway. Nothing else interests me at all. I get plenty of good TV shows cross channel with my Freeview package in the UK as is & a full free at point of use streaming service with it.

  • DJGaryBaldy DJGaryBaldy (@DJGaryBaldy) reported

    @paramountco your @My5_tv service needs a lot of work doing on it it keeps freezing and not starting programs from the catch-up menu on Freeview play.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @JackEDavies Is the TV connected to an aerial? You'll need an aerial connection to get the regular Freeview service. Fraser

  • touchaqua100 Touchaqua (@touchaqua100) reported

    @RevRichardColes For Freeview yes. For streaming add the app and login one at a time.

  • thelmarouge thelmarouge🗨 (@thelmarouge) reported

    @Starrygem4 Web said page not available. Thanks anyway Diane. The annoying thing is, I already registered months ago, but recently sign in came up for every prog and its so frustrating. I don't get tv reception where I live, so can't watch on freeview. Why do we have to sign in at all?

  • GladiatrixRedux Gladiatrix52 (@GladiatrixRedux) reported

    @JamesTurner37 OK, having done this myself: yes you can access e g., BBC via a Firestick OR you can buy a smart TV that already has the terrestrial channels and Anazon etc installed. You may require an aerial for Freeview depending on the local signal. 1/
