    @UKTVOnThisDay Still got one of their boxes in my storage somewhere. I was using it as a Freeview set top box for kitchen portable telly until Freeview started twiddling with signal

    @docrussjackson When it launches I’m gonna post instructions per service (Freeview, Sky, Virgin etc) to block it.

  • daryl_millar Daryl Millar (@daryl_millar) reported

    I'm a pay-lite TV consumer (Freeview + no-contract streaming). I've never consider contract TV packages to be worth the expense. As streaming services multiply & get more expensive, I'm trying to narrow down what I subscribe to.

    Anybody else's smart TV forgotten their sign in details to some Freeview Play channels? I've lost BBC iPlayer, ITV and a couple of others. It's a damned nuisance having to sign in again with that ridiculous keyboard!

  • paramuchibar Charles Paramuchibar (@paramuchibar) reported

    @apprentice_hw @GBNEWS Freeview Channel 236 (do a channel auto retune) Forget Sky and cancel the BBC bogus license. xx

    @DKenni @Briansmyth99 On virgin down south. Don't know if that's available on freeview unless you're near the border?

  • FacileTalk daz boot (@FacileTalk) reported

    @ScarredForLife2 Bottom right ones scared the crap out of me. Up there with Davros. It was repeated last year, they showed a few Space1999s (I forget the freeview channel). But there was always some ****** in sick-bay who was mad/ perceived to be mad/ turned out to be a baddie they'd saved.
