    @ClwydEnComu They're available on a digital service I didn't know existed, and when I looked it up it does to be a Freeview box for people that don't know their TV has Freeview

  • SJW5678 Sam (@SJW5678) reported

    @netgemtv No AV button to select input, sound is poor PVR service only 1 tuner, it causes problems, this box has neat TV guide but the rest is so behind the times. gets red hot, the ITV hub app is the old version, recordings often fail. just a revamp of freeview play channel 100

  • AnneAnd59185576 Anne Anderson (@AnneAnd59185576) reported

  • PeterYorke7 Peter Yorke (@PeterYorke7) reported

    @NoContextBrits 'Videonet' was the first landline digital TV box I had, replaced by freeview and now a firestick, never had bsb sky virgin....

  • SJW5678 Daniel Franks (@SJW5678) reported

    @netgemtv Netgem via TalkTalk, the remote is poor not comfortable keys not spaced out and no user guide to what all the buttons do. Sound is poor, no PVR only 1 tuner, often programs clash, interface looks ok but it is just a revamp of the channel 100 freeview play guide.

    @isleofmanbbctv @hischeekiness But not (yet) from an Isle of Man transmitter. If you are *currently* receiving CBeebies HD on Freeview, you're picking up a signal from the UK, as COM7 does not broadcast on any of the island's transmitters. CBBC HD on the other hand does, it's on the PSB3 multiplex.

    The fire knocked out TV, radio and other telecommunications services on 10th August 2021. It affected TV viewers in many parts of County Durham, Teesside and North Yorkshire. Households are being supplied Freeview TV signals through a network of temporary masts until next year.

    @Saraita101 Linear TV - and Radio, whether from an actual radio or Freeview on a TV - is vital for those easily marginalised, cut-off and lonely. I'm particularly thinking of people in care homes, folds and such-like. As no OO or Twelfth fan, I feel it's a bad decision from @BBCnireland .

    A customer actually said he was in the club for free entertainment. The words actually left his mouth. Mate it’s a ********** not Freeview: The Live Experience.
