Freeview on Android

ukracer · Feb 16, 2021

Anyone else use their phone to watch TV.
It seems childish to me that some apps like All 4 don't let you cast to a TV and even worse Apps like Freeview don't play many of the channels available on a TV such as Pick and Really.
Anyone else found these issues?

Strange that Pick and Really aren't on freeview but they are on freesat. Have you done a new channel scan lately?
Do you have an Amazon firestick? I installed All4 on mine at the weekend to watch the Guy Martin programs.

Pick and Really are on my TV's Freeview. Channel 35 and 17.

You can watch Really on UKTV Play app but Pick is not on there yet. I was done when they took All4 off Freesat

I have not been clear.......on my TV it's fine. All channels work.

It's the Freeview app on Android.
I can see the channel number but when selected it can't be played. Arrow and image are missing. Strange thing is the red line that shows how long that program has been on for actually works.

And mine mate. It's just on Android.
It seems like the freeview app using various players to display the content. Such as All4, It player etc etc but not sure what really and pick are related to.

We can't receive all the Freeview channels e.g. Dave for geographical reasons. :mad:
