  1. I don’t know what is going on with SBS viceland but they’ve just finished showing The Fifth Element & it’s started again & looking at the guide it’s going to be shown another 4 times, one after the other 😂. #SBS #Freeview.

  2. Ah.. a rare piece of ‘informative’ and ‘facts-based reporting from the #ABC. This article sheds quite a few flood-lights on the #migration political debate and calls out recent #LNP talking points for what they are… so much #racist BS. It is a well written piece by Gareth Hutchens based on historical facts and a recent #research paper from ANU (with a link to it).

    Well worth the read, especially if you need facts to inform family members caught in the #propaganda fed to us by #msm and #freeview TV channels (also no small a number of social media ‘trolls’).

    “The paper says Coalition governments have contributed "significantly more than Labor governments" to increasing temporary immigration levels in Australia over the past quarter of a century.” Though, it must be said, largely with bi-partisan support.

  7. Freeview and Sky TV viewers lose access to 3 channels

    If you have a Freeview or Sky TV box, you’ve lost access to three music channels. Parent company…

  8. #Petition #UK #FreeView

    Terrestrial television, received through an aerial, known as Freeview, is under serious threat of being scrapped

    Within months the Government will decide whether to turn off terrestrial signals & rely solely on internet based TV (IPTV)

    This means every household would be forced to take out a fixed broadband contract to continue watching their favourite TV programmes

    Radio reception & signals for emergency services could also be put at risk

  9. My TV has gone bonkers.
    At least I think it's the TV rather than the aerial.
    I'm not receiving some of the channels from the East Midlands Waltham transmitter.
    I am getting good reception on channels 29, 34 & 35 but nothing from 31, 32 or 37
    The various checking sites say there's no reported problems (and I'm not sure which of my neighbours still use terrestrial TV )

    It's a good job I've got Freesat and a Roku thingy, and, that we rarely watch the idiot box on Sundays.

  10. My Wales-centric old-school "anachronistic analogue" Freeview TV guide is back online!

    Bear in mind that my Raspberry Pi server isn't mission-critical internet-backbone hardware, but a free-time hobby project...so it's taken me a few days to restore it...and there may be dropouts...

  11. Your Freeview and Freely TV unlocks a new channel for FREE

    Your telly is about to get treated to a free upgrade. TLC, which you could only watch if…

  12. Freeview adds two new channels to your TV in latest free content shake-up

    If you don’t pay to get Sky TV in your living room, you may well have a Freeview-enabled…

  13. Replacing Sky / Virgin media with a Freeview recorder. Looking good so far, it integrates well with all the catch-up setvices, and a software update just added YouTube.

  14. @dimwittedly
    In all seriousness this is very irritating. I sort my channels alphabetically and so now "Dave" begins with a "U" so I never notice it right at the end of the listing.
    In other news, why the actual fuck are we being infested with these vile American religious channels on Freeview all of a sudden.
    I'd much rather have sensible foreign stations on there like #France24 and #NHKWorld

  15. Ok, so #Humax is in the bin.

    I'm after a #freeview #pvr - does anyone have any recommendations.

    Would be nice to have iplayer/itvx etc - not a requirement, have a firestick too.
  16. Just read about Freely, the supposed future of Freeview, the free to air (via an aerial) live TV service in the UK. Freely will be IP based so live TV and on demand via broadband. Live TV still seems a slightly odd concept in this context (but it will be just that) and an aerial or satellite dish (for Freesat) currently comes with no other costs other than a TV licence whereas fast broadband costs extra and is variable depending on location.
    Time marches on eh. #UK #TV #Freeview #Freely #IPTV

  17. Just a moan about tech. We bought a new TV (Samsung) at the weekend, and linking it up was easy both for free catchup services (BBC iPlayer etc) and our two paid-for services. Nice picture.
    But, it was weirdly difficult to find how to switch between Freesat and Freeview inputs.
    Is the best answer a conspiracy theory; or, is switching between aerial/dish inputs a really very unusual British ask??
    (Only the Samsung smart handset can do the switch AFAIK. )

  18. @mikegalsworthy
    Presumably this is why there is an increasing number of nauseating bandwidth-wasting American religious channels popping up on #Freeview #TV these days.
    Didn't this crap use to be illegal?
    #WTF

  19. There apperas to be a new #Freeview channel with the slightly idiotic name "U&Eden". Anyway, it's showing The Colony in Space beginning at 0905 in the morning (14th May) in case anyone would like to know.
    The next day (Thr 15th) at the same time it's The Daemons.
    And so on at the same time each day :-)

  20. "Rewind TV" is a kind of amusingly amateurish knock-off version of (the excellent) Talking Pictures TV.
    However, on the plus side it does have Drop The Dead Donkey. Hurrah!

    #SkyMix #TV #Freeview #UK
    The most barking mad episode of #StarTrek #TNG
    You know you want to see it again.

  22. Who's the annoying twat who thought it would be a good idea to stick the two characters "U&" with no spaces in front of a random selection of #Freeview #TV channels so that they no longer sort in the right order and are difficult spot in the on-screen schedule?!
    #twat #dickhead #television #enshittification

  23. Any #Freeview viewers in the West of Scotland (#Blackhill Transmitter) having issues with U&Drama channel blanking out momentarily periodically. Did notice the channel Logo was visible the last time when it did it.

  24. The feed seems to be 1 minute delayed behind the feed which was itself delayed with respect to analogue TV back when they were still being transmitted.

    Gone are the days when I would hear simultaneous yells emanating from open windows as I walk outside avoiding watching major sporting events.

    Wonder if I can figure out what service people are tuned into based on the delay.

  25. I found what looks like the coax connection to the TV aerial on the roof. It was hidden away inside a bedroom closet. Might be able to pick up a few channels. Is there anything on that's worth watching live?

    There's also the remnants of a ethernet cable embedded in a hole in the wall.

  26. I just stumbled across the fact that #BBC HD Channels are now HD:SD Swapped on supported #FreeviewPlay devices by noticing that my #LGC2 had done it, offering me #BBCOne HD on LCN1 as well as the usual LCN101. I had no idea they were even planning to do that, or (frankly) that #Freeview Play had that functionality #Television #TV #UKTV #UKTelevision #UKTelly #UKTelecoms

  27. The #bbc_iplayer feed seems to be 1 minute delayed behind the #Freeview feed which was itself delayed with respect to analogue TV back when they were still being transmitted.

  31. Decided to finally remove the #Freesat #satelliteTV box and #bluray player, both being added to the "obsolete" AV equipment pile that I can't quite part with! Neither have been used for probably a year now.

    Sign of the times - TV is primarily on-demand, with the remaining bit of #Freeview streamed via #Emby which also handles Blu-rays, DVDs, and music. Saying that, I might think about an OTA aerial feed direct to the TV, just in case!

  32. I feel like I need to rant on how awful the Google Live Channels app is, but there's no good free alternative.

    First of all, audio doesn't always work on Live TV.

    Secondly, I shouldn't have to manually enable channels, for example (likely due to Freeview Play) all my channels get disabled on every reboot. There's really no reason to disable new channels.

    My main issue is definitely the channel sources menu though.. (1/3)
