  • tartan1314 Fiona Collie (@tartan1314) reported from Bonnybridge, Scotland

    @BBCPhilipSim Maybe it's time to make BBC a commercial channel ie no licence. They can then raise income from advertising & charge for iplayer service (believe is being considered). That way no person would have a licence to pay & would only buy in other services they wanted above freeview

    @istanbulfiona @LesleyRiddoch Away down at Channel 82 on Freeview. Why not #BBCSCOTLAND

    @IrkthePurists GOLD's coming to Freeview soon, reportedly. So it'll be down to about five or six programmes when that happens, three of which will be Only Fools and Horses.

    Thanks to a random documentary on the collosseum on some freeview channel I never watch, Boy 2 & I actually had a chat about Romans that didn't involve him running away yelling "They're BORING!" I whipped out good old Pliny the E for the story of Pompey's elephants which he loved

  • ChrisTheDJ Chris Merriman (@ChrisTheDJ) reported

    It's been nearly two years now and @LGUKCare still haven't fixed the problem with hybrid streaming channels (225-256). It previously claimed that it was the format of the channels, but Freeview has confirmed they are all in HBB now, yet they still come up as "Invalid Service" 1/2

  • Daverjr David_bythesea (@Daverjr) reported

    @ArchRose90 Freeview recorders would face the same dilemma. Prob easier to simply replace the unit for a new design with a card reader integrated. U.K. also has the FreeSat (free satellite) service which has identical issues. Sky + cable users could simply add BBC to their current package.

    @strossbo Hi Ross, Freeview is a through aerial service and needs an aerial to view. The Firestick does not have a connection for the aerial.

    @rockest_lobster @steve_race I unsuited Netflix in any case - wasn't really using it. Freeview streaming has a lot of stuff on it and Amazon Prime has other **** I use frequently. I also cancelled Now for similar reasons. Im not finding the alternatives massively compelling in short.

    @desmo57 @steve_race Had Netflix and it was just full of trash, old stuff I’ve seen a million times and really low grade shows that you can find versions of on at the back end of beyond on freeview/Sky. BBC news reporting has issues which is most people’s gripe with the BBC.

  • ChrisTheDJ Chris Merriman (@ChrisTheDJ) reported

    These are @FreeviewTV channels, and if my TV can't pick them up, surely LG shouldn't be advertising the models as Freeview compatible? Enough excuses LG - fix it, or swap out the affected models. 2/2

  • PaulaDyer16 Paula Dyer (@PaulaDyer16) reported

    @lilacjay2 @Dolphin_Project It was on UK Freeview TV a few years ago Janet. I wish I'd written down the name of the show now. They tested the ex special forces soldier who now writes under the name of Andy McNab and he came up as a high functioning one. (1 of 2).

    @strossbo The Freeview online TV guide links to players to allow online viewing and the Freeview mobile app does the same. Freeview Play equipment provides a similar service but connects to more players and offers a backward EPG. However, these apps are not available on the Firetick.
