    @Ossyref I know but it’s not on Freeview. Not everyone has YouTube for TV or ability to watch on app. We ok as have Virgin but it’s still crap they ain’t showing it for others.

    The best thing about having my phone contract and home internet with @ThreeUK is that when it goes down in my area I get to sit in the dark with a cold cup of tea and watch Freeview.

  • Ajkiwi AJ Johnson (@Ajkiwi) reported

    Wait. I've been talking to workmates, & it turns out that people who don't have vodafoneTV (RIP) or old mysky: (a) watch freeview LIVE with ADVERTS (wtf) (b) or ONLY watch things on streaming (c) and just accept they can't record+rewind TV (d) use an aerial or sat dish. REALLY?

  • eattrashgofast oíche howl-na 🎃 (@eattrashgofast) reported

    @WesleyDolan i like to pore over all the tv film guides in detail, see what's on saorview, what's on freeview, what's on channels i have to tune in, the itvs, channel4s, channel5s, then finally switch on the tv to where blazing saddles has been on for 10 minutes and flop down in front of that

    @agapanthus49 When people start talking about abolishing the Licence Fee they mistakenly think its a BBC Licence fee. It's not and never has been. Its also previously used to fund the Digital TV Roll out for Freeview, S4C, Maybe the debate is how much BBC should receive from the Licence.

    Would be cool if @vodafoneNZ did a software update on the VodafoneTV units just prior to them being shut down that turned them into an untethered Freeview/internet TV hub.

    Did anyone else's Freeview box automatically record the "Prime Minister's" address earlier? I didn't ask for that **** to sully my telly box, thanks very much! #BorisMustGo #ToriesOut

  • brianwinteruk Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England

    The 80m temporary mast at Bilsdale has blown down. So no @Freeview. We did tell them it gets windy up there.

  • OsullivanUk Mike O'Sullivan (@OsullivanUk) reported

    @googlenesthelp Hey Google... No, nothing like that at all. Just an old (Humax) Freeview recorder, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and a (non-smart) Panasonic blu-ray player. All powered off at time of issue. Couple of other people raised it as issue a few days ago on the Google TV forum also.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    @CrabbyValiant @back_the_BBC That's starting to change: Anyone with a Sky Glass TV no longer needs to turn over, as the HD service is fully regionalised. Virgin Media and iPlayer users are up next for the upgrade. Sky, Freesat and Freeview due to be upgraded before the end of 2022.
