    @TimHoelscherX They likely mean cable or network TV, which when you think about it, is accurate. I don't watch TV (I don't have Freeview set up, nor do I have Sky, TiVO or Virgin Cable etc) but I do have Netflix/Prime, which are websites/apps.

    @AdamDraper So true. I discovered recently that home VR headsets have been available since 2016, and a survey some time ago provided my first knowledge of them. Up until then I have never seen them advertised on Freeview channels, in free newspapers, or out and about. Conclusion: they're...

    Is it just me or does Amazon prime video have a terrible UI? It feels worse that the freeview apps. Plus some stuff is free some is extra money?

    Of course the weather has changed and with it the signal from Freeview's temporary mast has yet again changed. Went from all the BBC channels and 6 other channels (no ITV/C4), Then as the warmer weather moved northwards we lost all the BBC channels and after a retune got the 6

    @james__love @Dr_Eoin_Malcolm @Aontaithe2021 They wouldn't be able to geoblock the Freeview signal in Derry though. It's too near the border/Republic for that. It's easy to block on Sky, because they know exactly which jurisdiction cards are registered in.

    @a516digital How those years have gone by. The launch of freeview, after winning the commercial licences on dtt, after a disgraceful service from itv/on digital. But i look back on that, and remember the problems getting it. Etc.

    @xandypty AWS Elemental. We had a rackmount box at uni that was dedicated to sending a feed to AWS. We'd do a Degree Show broadcast which would go out on a web page hosted on AWS as well as Freeview DVB-T on a signal that only went as far as the Greenwich peninsula.

    @LGUKCare are you gonna bring Freeview Play to the 2020 TVs considering it’s available again on the 2021 sets? Really is a poor showing that All4 is still unavailable on the 2020 models

    @IndigoFast @glasgowswestend UKTV Play didn't need one, but it does now. However, the channels they own that aren't on Freeview or Freesat aren't on it. I know why I have an ITV account. They've brought in an ad-free premium subscription service, which is what a lot of commercial radio stations have done.
