    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

    @LGUKCare are you gonna bring Freeview Play to the 2020 TVs considering it’s available again on the 2021 sets? Really is a poor showing that All4 is still unavailable on the 2020 models

  • epwhamilton Edward Hamilton (@epwhamilton) reported

    @SamsungUK @SamsungTV What's the situation with Freeview? Do your tvs support the app at least? TVPlus doesn't look very good in comparison

    So what’s on the telly today cause Christmas Day I ended up watching the Food Network channel, that provided more entertainment than the entire freeview network.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital How those years have gone by. The launch of freeview, after winning the commercial licences on dtt, after a disgraceful service from itv/on digital. But i look back on that, and remember the problems getting it. Etc.

  • slipperboots SlipperBoots (@slipperboots) reported

    @cromers It’s been so poor that I’ve watched stuff on DVD & iPlayer as well as replays on freeview channels over the festive period. Not to mention audiobooks and podcasts.

    @arjoll @paulbrislen Too much distance and crap in the way, LoS is really bad due to terrain and trees. Can't even get Freeview HD - have to use the crap satellite version lol. Literally in my IT nightmare hellscape geographically. Gaming on ADSL2+ is painful, gaming + streaming = nogo.
