    @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

    @radionz Why can't I find RNZ National in the Freeview Guide? We record and listen to your programmes on satellite Freeview as radio reception here is terrible. HELP!

  • askthedood KevyD (@askthedood) reported

    Will @HumaxUK @FreeviewTV record boxes (presume Aura is newest) ever have @netflix app support? Looking for a new Freeview Record box for my dad.

    @martiansurvivor Hi, Freeview TV requires an active aerial connection to receive our service, unfortunately, this is the only way to get the TV channels via Freeview. You may be able to find something online for a different provider. Thanks, Dev.

    @Mrs_Bentos @thebellow I once gave away a Freeview box on the local Facebook page. A woman asked if I could meet her at 2pm on Tuesday outside the Co-Op in West Norwood. I declined, as I'm not a delivery service.

  • joeylk71 Joanne Gray (@joeylk71) reported

    @LarryBundyJr Neither of them carrying the Freeview signal then?

  • StuartCowper Stuart Cowper (@StuartCowper) reported

    @My5_tv Hi folks, seem to be having issues watching the latest episode of Law and Order SVU S20 E8. On selecting it, the episode landing page doesn't load, just a black screen, and then need to reload the player. That's on Freeview Play on two Panasonic boxes. Any ideas?

  • Lnx_t Zooltie (@Lnx_t) reported

    @LGUK Will LG 2020 TV's be receiving Freeview Play? Bought mine only last October and it's awful I only have access to BBC iPlayer and ITV Hub.

    @terrychristian @mcwarthog I took a period of relapse in depression and couldn't face our dreadful world. I mostly stayed in bed and flicked through the freeview channels and the problem is there - shopping for junk, past is great, or maybe not, aliens and gods, scifi and shooting. No wonder we're a mess..

    @stephenkb I will vote for whatever new party you start to campaign on this issue. Preferably one called "Change (the channel) UK" I'm literally going to spend 20 quid on a freeview box because of this failure of technology. And I will be absolutely indignant about it.

    TIL my mum likes to tune in to the awful Freeview religious channels in order to laugh at their output and I've never been so proud.
