    @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

    @genetis Here’s my random selection: Cheese grater (satisfying, until … grated finger nail and gristle). Open fire (evolutionarily enjoyable, but … ow, burning!). Freeview TV Guide (more a UX thing, but … it will never load when I’m in a hurry).

    I love all the drama from people complaining about the emergency alerts... "I DIDN'T CONSENT!". It's a broadcast. The gvt doesn't have access to your phone via emergency alerts. It's as intrusive as the BBC Freeview signal. Keep the alerts on. They could save your life.

    Can someone tell me how the hell a system as poor as @Freely_tv has been brought to market. Simply appalling designed, slow, clunky, user unfriendly and a MASSIVE downgrade on Freeview Play or You view. Deliberately avoiding selling TVs with your system now. Absolute nonsense

    @Tedsquare23 I mean, nowadays everyone has a TV (unless they are dropped to Basic) but they are Freeview & have radio stations.. ... also the wing would be listening to sad hour for people outside requesting songs for them... And blasting music a weekend off their Barnets! Wtf is he chat'n!?

    @FreeviewTV Hi Freeview 101 BBC has no EPG since your retune. Can you fix that please?

  • Nessiethesosage phil (@Nessiethesosage) reported

    @GetLustCast @nad8348 @grandi_fan Yup, they got me it. It was shite, I think someone joked why do you need it after the 15 minute freeview. I’d stick a vhs in to record it from midnight to 4am only to find half of that **** was some ****** talk show with fat old **** Derek Botham and annoying **** Eric Hall

    @liampdwyer Thanks for getting back to us, Liam. This service can be accessed on freeview on channel 236, or if you're watching on the app. If it's hardly working, it'll be best to reset your TV box, and possibly your broadband.
