  • darrksquid Kate🇪🇺 (@darrksquid) reported from Bonnyrigg, Scotland

    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.

    @JayStringer Just check out Blaze tv on freeview, seems like mad alien shit is half their content.

  • gordonhudsonnu Gordon Hudson (@gordonhudsonnu) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @HumanityReality @TonyTcrawley666 @voodude64 There is. They are all availble on their own streaming apps like iPlayer All4 etc. What Kapang did was aggregate them all into one place. I had a look and their other channels are still working, just not the Freeview ones. This makes me suspect its a legal issue.

    @AvonandsomerRob Damn right they should. Also, the number of outgoings on luxuries like SKY TV, Netflix etc. plenty of choice on freeview.

  • Tillymint53 Tillymint (@Tillymint53) reported

    @happyborg @RadioTimes Yeh I find that freeview one is okay..just have to get used to a different site. I think that RT think I am on a mobile phone but I am on a HP laptop so swiping etc just doesn't work.

  • FactsStomp Phil's Train and Retro Life (@FactsStomp) reported

    @cleanfeed_ttvr I find this practice annoying mostly because if they don't flag each episode with "New..." the series link doesn't work, at least on Freeview anyway. Plus it highlights just how many 'encore presentations' are on even the main channels now.

  • SnapeHugh hugbilly (@SnapeHugh) reported

    @RadioTimes Thanks for the reply and I understand the intention. What is slightly more annoying is that the site no longer allows one to set a default service provider (i.e. Sky or Freesat.) I use Freeview and it used to be that once I'd selected that service as the provider the page would

  • rachie1788 Rachael Kerr (@rachie1788) reported

    Why do I pay for @skytv again? Never works or downloads anything! May aswell stick with freeview as that’s pretty much all that is functional! 😠😤

  • DaveyBoi73 Dave ♿️ Esq (@DaveyBoi73) reported

    @Fibutton Which TV service do you use? Really is available on Freeview 17, Freesat 160, Sky 142, Virgin 129 and discovery+ UK.

  • pde62 Peter Everett (@pde62) reported

    @k1482 @AvonandsomerRob The good lord commonsense. It's about budgets and budgeting. Freeview TV is .... free. So you can't deny it would help household finances, especially for those who are cash-strapped; whether they are employed by the state or not.

  • kelaher զʊǟռȶʊʍ (@kelaher) reported

    @je_au @MichaelWestBiz I agree on the conditional DRM thing, though not 'trivial'. Also a confusing user experience. Example (real world, lived, me) - FreeView TV app no login - many TVs have Freeview AND native apps. Freeview has "missing content" for that reason - customer complaints result !

  • BegbieCat3 McCoubrey Cat (@BegbieCat3) reported

    @EilisOHanIon I record all episodes of every series that I want to watch on my old Freeview+ box and never start watching until the whole series is recorded. It's the only bit of self-control I can exercise these days. It also means I can >>Fast Forward>> the adverts in 30 second jumps.

  • MickeyMcCartney Michael McCartney (@MickeyMcCartney) reported

    @StevenFlavell1 I've lost that channel the last time I did a retune of Freeview, signal is always very weak Oop North. BAH!
