  • McGuinnessKevin Kevin McGuinness  (@McGuinnessKevin) reported

    @SamsungHelpUK my Samsung 4K TV has developed white rings on the screen. It’s not the Sky Q box I’m using as the issue is still evident on apps, Apple TV box, and the Freeview tuner on the TV. It’s almost 4 years old I would think it should last longer than this.

    @patwewonuk @LBC @NickFerrariLBC i dont even see a takeaway or a mobile phone in that image just two people holding a sky remote which we know continues to work for freeview without prescription, sounds like he just likes punching down and hangs onto tired old tropes

    @rossaverde @BBCTees @amy_oakden The BBC applies for grants to help fund its research into broadcasting technology that has contributed to developments such as Freeview and DAB digital radio. In 2017-18 it received a grant from the EU of €1,282,331 (£1,145,572).

    @Frasier67Blank @mat8iou @AvaSantina I'd have guessed you could require an encryption key to demux it, but never dug that deep! My only geeky tech involvement was due to national radio controllers complaining about the Freeview graphic colour palette because it wasn’t absolutely compliant with their branding 🙄

  • chaplow_john Mr John (@chaplow_john) reported

    @_mstephenson88 Probably BeIN not wanting Freeview anywhere in Qatar as they have had huge promotion push getting people to subscribe over here with discounted offers specifically for the WC. Still **** though WC should be Freeview everywhere

  • 0325_jade Happy birthday Seungmin! (@0325_jade) reported

    Cartoon Network 30th is tomorrow. I'll still be asleep by the time OG Teen Titan shows sadly, and i dont think Freeview even has access to it. All I want to know is more info about the new Total Drama seasons 💀

  • newpaulhearn Parliament Must Decide (@newpaulhearn) reported

    @danielmgmoylan @GBNEWS What's the Freeview channel number? Never watched it yet.

  • baileys36 Jenny Lewis (@baileys36) reported

    @FreeviewTV Why don't you improve the signal?! I'm fed up with missing things due to no signal. Freeview service is rubbish

  • liambrazier Liam Brazier (@liambrazier) reported

    Potentially stupid question but (in the UK) you need an aerial or dish for Freeview/sat TV right? You can’t get that over cable or just WiFi??
