    The big exception of course is big sports but that's a little different to normal programming. Even there, cricket viewing has dwindled from lack of major (and Freeview) network coverage.

    Hi @news_ntd Not sure what has happened to your streaming server but it now stalls so often to be unwatchable, and your feed to Channelbox (Freeview 271) is of ridiculously low resolution the picture looks so blurry.

    @sophielouisecc HD on freeview, the current SD quality is crap.

    @HitachiEurope Hello, I bought a Hitachi 58 Inch 58HK6100UB Smart 4K UHD HDR Freeview TV but I cannot pair the BT remote with the TV. I tried the codes 2424, 1739 but it does not work. Where can I get help? Thanks!

    @JVC_UK my android tv has developed an issue where all of the freeview apps (iplayer, itv player etc.) won't load, with an error code of fvp-300. Could you advise on how to resolve this, please?

  • Mark_Ma77 Mark 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@Mark_Ma77) reported

    @MSwift94 Honestly think a better solution to get people into cricket (I presume this is what it's for) would be to just put more normal cricket and more t20 cricket on freeview telly.

    @simonnread I've struck lucky today, normally Talking Pics pixelates. Will record and watch later. Ever since they tinkered with Freeview the signal has been appalling. Laurel & Hardy still funny to this day.

    @DawnieR2 @GBNEWS Can you get the App, or sky tv?. The freeview is pretty bad.
