    @BoostTorbay @AndrewBrazier1 Never used the first two options. Very much old school. None of the fancy pants Sky or Virgin Media either. Just plain old Freeview for me

    Seen as everyone keeps telling me how bad GB News 236 on Freeview is. I have decided to watch it for todays bad news.

    Watching live Freeview for the first time in years and it is hour after hour, dozens of channels full of utter crap. How do people still watch this? Streaming has spoiled me.

    @62Sauzee @Record_Sport We tried SPFL tv when we had to rely on people having sky dishes, cable or freeview which was much more expensive. Now in the days of fibre broadband that problem doesn’t exist anyone can live stream you just need the equipment which we already have

    @JamesTurner37 @timalmond So what if the person could only afford the TV subscription? Sounds like virgin media are holding customers to ransom in your complex and could be forcing other customers into debt especially with COL crisis at present. Try an indoor aerial and signal booster for freeview tv.

    @GBNEWS I am subscribed to GB News on YouTube but can’t seem to get it live. Freeview 236 has no watchable signal this morning. Please can anyone advise?

  • ladderack Jenny (@ladderack) reported

    @TPTVEncore The new Freeview service is superb. Thanks. Interestingly, on my new Samsung TV the Encore prompt is on even during ad breaks. There's no way to get rid of it. It doesn't show at all on my Humax Freeview Play box yet works fine.

  • JohnTurner2021 John Turner (@JohnTurner2021) reported

    @TPTVEncore @TalkingPicsTV Incredibly slow loading on a Panasonic Viera 49ES500. Even with the cache files preloaded. Also, no indication that the red button has been pressed to show the app is actually loading. All other Freeview+ services working fine.

    @BorisJohnson How wonderful, how about sorting out the signal for our ancient techno, TV, can’t get a signal for Freeview & have had to have Sky for years despite new digi aerials & boosters & still have to pay for TV Licence!
