    @dem_cath The TV's awful this year. We're all going through a rubbish time, TV should be a welcome distraction for a day or so, but they are just showing rubbish. I have freeview and it's all like this, sadly. I hope your book makes you smile.

    @UKTVPlayHelp Hi, it is via the Freeview Play platform, which is a pre-installed app. There is no dedicated UKTV Play app in the Philips Saphi app store. The problem seems to occur on all UKTV channels. The last time it was working, was probably about 1 month ago, that I can remember.

    @paullewismoney Every other ad is abt gambling on freeview with the usual disclaimer, don't gamble too much, it's bad for you. Worrying & sad.

    Hi @plex, Seasons Greetings to you all. I'm looking to add a USB TV device to my @NVIDIASHIELD, I'd prefer to use Freesat as it's better quality than Freeview but @HauppaugeHQ say you don't support DVB-S - is this likely to change anytime soon - especially as DVB-T is at risk?

  • animallovercat2 Alison (@animallovercat2) reported

    Well. I'm glad I didn't see Mama Mia 2 at the cinema. Just saw some of it on Freeview. What a pile of ****. Nothing like that first one.

  • KirkyFromMars Kirky (@KirkyFromMars) reported

    @westonfront It has recently been shown on That's TV (Channel 8 Freeview) and after 10 minutes I had had enough. What was funny and perhaps groundbreaking 50 years ago isn't now. Til Death Us Do Part on now and that's terrible now.

  • geospacedman Barry Rowlingson🐺 (@geospacedman) reported

    @Dragons8mycat I think I saw it on a Freeview listings and thought I might be able to find it on the channel's streaming service. Oh well, I'll cancel my Netflix sub after watching them...

  • past_sunderland Opinions From The North (@past_sunderland) reported

    Sunderland vs Blackburn is live for free on Sky Showcase (on Freeview) However, don't get your hopes up as they'll probably take it off air again an hour before kick off 👍 Alternatively, if you're local and can afford it, get a ticket and head down to the SOL #SAFC
