    @LeadTestInclude We canned Virgin to go with Freeview plus Now Entertainment package. Still fairly cheap I guess. Just about enough programming that isn’t covered elsewhere. The NowTV box we have is rubbish. Awful interface (but it works - no channel numbers for freeview channels)

    @LindaC29022195 Hi, Linda. I can't speak for every box but generally, you should be able to watch recordings on a box when there's no Freeview signal. Fraser

    Currently using an external aerial & dish to receive Sky & Freeview. Is it possible to remove dish & aerial & get both down a fibre optic phone line?

    @VABVOX Some apps that may help, Plex, Popcorn Flix, Freeview, crackle and Zumo. Amazon prime has a price lowering government option I think still.

    EarthxTV a new TV station on Freeview starts this 7pm this evening with a programme is about faith leaders calling on global leaders and communities to take action on climate change. Seems to be a from Us & focussing on environmental and justice issues, no idea on pedigree…

    I’m ditching Virgin - I’m being fed repeats & Bullshit TV….much of which is on Freeview & Free-sat etc., what is going on? Terminated my contract over a yr ago in writing and they ignored me? No landline 4 over a yr. WTF? And the Legalities? I’m going Commando!

    @PidginPosting to be expected for Gobby Bigot News, the **** channel has been deleted from my freeview recorders.

    Has anyone bought a new tv recently? My mum bought a Freeview Logik Android TV recently and it’s absolutely trash. Loads so slowly, can’t record anything. Are cheap TVs just **** now???

    I've got a LG telly. Problem is that everytime I turn the telly back on, after it being off overnight, it comes on in Freeview mode. Freeview is the "Live TV" setting. If I change that setting to Freesat then it comes back on with whatever I was watching last. Why?
