    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.

    @NOWHelpTeam Thanks for the info but resetting the box does not help. The new update and software installed is too much for these black boxes. Are you not releasing a better box to support such an update ? The 4k box doesnt have freeview, not sure why it's even a box..... thank you!

  • hyphenTab smallpuff (@hyphenTab) reported

    We don’t have Freeview at home never bothered to get it installed. Spending a couple days at the beach and switched on the tv and omg Suzanne Paul is still there, she’s like an operating system relic you can’t dispose of.

  • smileykirstie Kirstie Wright (@smileykirstie) reported

    @Mr_Sanch We have ours separate to have more flexibility. We just took out broadband with virgin for £24 a month for 100/mbps (I think) and then just use Freeview plus our Roku and other streaming apps for the rest of our tv. Rather than paying for channels we never use..

  • DaveyBoi73 Dave ♿️ Esq (@DaveyBoi73) reported

    @MarkBlackmore33 @StuartYoung001 @RealPaulMartin I only have the virgin media version of freeview so it's not worth me asking for the new box. If I could find a great stable streaming service for free then I would get rid of the VM TV.

  • aliduggers Ali Dugdale (@aliduggers) reported

    @NationalTheatre @Mrs_UW @hillww1 It’s terrestrial if you have Freeview, which I don’t, or you can watch if you have Now, which I don’t, or Sky, which I don’t... I do have National Theatre On Demand, to support the National while it’s shut, but it’s not available there. Such a shame not to be able to watch it.

    sunshine on leith with george mackay in it is such a terrible musical movie but if it’s on the freeview tv guide i’ll watch it 😭

  • agarethgates Not The Singer (@agarethgates) reported

    UK baseball fans let's face it @btsport clearly paid for a number of years' rights and are just seeing it out. They'll lose it like they did the NBA because they've blown all their money on Champions League and now the stupid WWE. Time to get a freeview box and MLBTV #OpeningDay

  • libertyIAB Liberty (@libertyIAB) reported

    I've actually looked at the TV schedule bc it's Easter, I thought they may have done something a little special... Have they ****! I'm so pleased I'm not reliant on freeview 😳 It's streaming & reading, for me forever now I guess...
