    People who have Freeview - is it just a one off cost for the box or subscription and can you record stuff? (Am trying to figure out tv options and can't get virgin and sky i think you need a dish. Aerial is crap here)

  • TEOL85 The Evolution Of Life (@TEOL85) reported

    @DCMS A all data Freeview Play is feasible until you notice the signal can go out on a bad placed Ariel but unlike the RF signal version you can't find out the correct way to align the Ariel because you just get no signal no squires of broken channel feed just a disconnect.

    @TalkTV Can you not improve the picture quality on Freeview?? Compared to (GBNews) it is awful.

  • MckL87 💚 (@MckL87) reported

    Folks what’s a good Freeview box that allows you to record? I’m currently paying £167 to sky and due to come to the end of my contract and going to cancel, I can’t get IPTV due to work purposes so what’s the best next thing that’s legit?

  • ernest_malley Ernest Malley premium account for only $8 a month (@ernest_malley) reported

    Film version of who dares wins on freeview channel 41. Very poor adaptation. No people dressed as pandas. No sign of Tony Robinson in the nip.

  • mkquinn68 mark quinn (@mkquinn68) reported

    Apparently it’s on the red button channel on Freeview !?!? Still a terrible decision BBC !!!!

  • skipaiotter Skipai Otter @cohost/skipaiotter (@skipaiotter) reported

    @bad1ands True but I don't think the UK Gov would want to do that as it's too costly. What if mobile network went down? There has to be other ways here. Even if there's emergency broadcast masts put up that transmit on everything. VHF, UHF, Freeview, Freesat, Sky, Cable, etc.

  • SarahGrimshaw_x Sarah Grimshaw (@SarahGrimshaw_x) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Our JVC smart TV will only let us change channels if we go onto the Freeview Play Guide, it won’t change if we just type in the number using the remote (remote works for everything else. Any help please? We’ve also got an issue with bbc iPlayer not working.

    @FreeviewAdvice we have got freeview at this postcode, the problem is the one for all indoor aerial i'm using. i don't know how those can be allowed on the market because they clearly don't work. in any case, just gonna get a splitter and get signal off of freeview box in other room. thanks tho
