    @9prmills9 The Android Freeview box I'm streaming it to my TV on slows it down also. Streaming on the PC is behind still but not this much. I miss the satellite Sky box but this is cheaper.

    @ApeGugas @Choyaa13 Was that really a thing back in the day? Never occurred to me before. Of course, nowadays all of the channels are in the same Freeview multiplex from the same mast.

  • danblythewriter Daniel Blythe (@danblythewriter) reported

    My @TalkingPicsTV signal on Freeview is scrambled worse than one of Alain's messages to London tonight... looks like we'll be watching #SecretArmy on TPTV Encore after the event this week!

  • benfenton Ben Fenton (@benfenton) reported

    Anybody fancy crowdfunding BigJetTV to help it get a slot on Freeview? Somewhere between GBNews and RT.

    @SkyUK It is really not good. Switches itself off even when set not to ! The playlist doesn’t always work- you can only watch stuff as agreements are valid & some stuff is immediately unavailable! Many channels missing which are on satellite. Rewind / ffwd poor. No real Freeview etc

    @FreeviewAdvice please can you advise when freeview will be back on in Banbury. I have had no service for over 5 days!

  • AlexBransby05 Branners NCFC (@AlexBransby05) reported

    @frooter_tooter @valorantpunzo It was on a kids channel called Pop, which was essentially the closest thing Freeview owners could get to Cartoon Network without paying. If people had those channels they wouldn’t watch much Pop so that’s why

  • frankensteirer yoo hoo (@frankensteirer) reported

  • h5ringer TheMaestroCat (@h5ringer) reported

    Series recording on @HumaxUK Freeview box (NOT Freesat) FVP-4000T not been working for a couple of weeks. Records single programs and first of a series ok, but does not recognise subsequent episodes. Problem not limited to any particular channel(s). What’s happening?

  • Originsingamer zinorigins (@Originsingamer) reported

    @Mrpaulfox @Potatoe_Waffles @Machobeard4life Digital TV only allows the 5 main channels everything else is freeview, most of us rely on WiFi to view American products, because not all of us have a freeview box because we don't wanna pay TV licence of the thieving BBC, which has literally the worst programming on it
