    @steeleyp_ @BigJohnnyArcher Well I've seen a review from someone who's had hands on and they said it does "and an aerial port – which, like with Glass, is just used for Freeview backup when you’re internet is down."

  • d6a6v6e David Peat (@d6a6v6e) reported

    Typical Friday night: The TV is crap on Freeview. Not a lot on Sky either.

  • RsKelv Kelvin R. Smith P&J Project (@RsKelv) reported

    @otivar55 Most people will probably steer clear of @AJEnglish (Freeview CH 235) and never see this remarkable 4-part documentary. Hopefully, it will be allowed to be screened on UK mainstream TV.

    @virginmedia @Spencer83809805 Virgin Media do not provide a reliable service. My brother has recorded some stuff from Forces tv on his freeview box and he can still watch them.

    @BBC The viewing public should not be forced to fund a service they have not chosen, just so they can watch Freeview on their own television sets. Like Amazon Prime and Netflix, the BBC should now compete in the marketplace and offer a subscription service. #defundthebbc

    ▶ Channel List Management provides an alternative channel list via the internet to compatible devices and allows broadcasters to do a SD/HD switch. ▶ But the functionality was only added to Freeview Play recently, so not all Freeview Play devices are guaranteed to support this.
