Hi @davechannel @arqiva. Trying to watch Room 101 on Freeview and screen keeps going black at random intervals. Lasts about a second. Other channels are fine, including others on the ARQA mux. So would seem to be Dave specific issue.

@whophd @meadea @domknight From what I've read, onDigital/ITV Digital was plagued with reception and piracy issues however overbidding for TV rights to a lower division football league was their biggest downfall. Although in a way, the failure of it + the later rise of Freeview was probably a good thing.

@madebygoogle does your Google TV support Freeview app in UK. The web seems to suggest yes but I can't find the app

Evening tweeps! Got a conundrum - my aerial socket doesn't work and I keep missing the cricket. Freeview app doesn't work on Chromecast and indoor rabbit ears work minimally. What am I supposed to do to get free to air tv? Only option I can think of is stream from phone or lappy

@MartinSLewis Freeview+ has more choice in any 24hrs to need to pay for Any ppv streaming service,which in Current CoL climate is far more practical; I am surprised you are suggesting anyone would choose ppv wrt Any Budgeting advice & I would Frown on Anyone streaming & using Food-bank assist.

@ITVXhelp @Loochst3r Apparently, due to last minute technical issues, could be a few weeks before ITVX is available on some Freeview boxes, eg Manhattan.
