Freeview / internet tv help needed!

tyllwyd

Another option if you can't get what you want via the internet - have you tried getting a satellite dish installed so you can use freesat instead?

Lynzog - closed is a very helpful member of this forum. He seemed to say that you can't do what you want to do, and you didn't like that. I didn't see any sarcasm or anything from him until you attacked him.
I'm not aware of any way to do what you want apart from the sites mentioned above.
The point about spending £250 on an aerial that doesn't work is the best one. This is a moneysaving site. Receiving Freeview is a better solution than squinting at your iPad. Have you check with any of your neighbours about Freeview reception? Is your wiring and your Freeview tuner OK or are you just assuming a bad aerial, or a bad area? Who installed the aerial?

Try this http://www.filmon.com/ You can stream live TV to your PC and from that, using an HDMI lead, to your TV. Here is a list of the channels you will have access to (and there are lots of foreign ones, too):

Miolere seems to have exactly what you're looking for!

Lynzog

Thanks Miolere, that's great!! I will try it and see.

allimar - closed edited their posts after I wrote. They said "why don't you just buy a TV licence" and got extremely sarcastic and rude. I am new on this forum, and can only take rude comments at face value. That's why I asked if they had bothered reading my post. They then changed their post, deleting most of the abusive comments.

I'm getting tired of your nonsense.

bbc3 etc can be watched on iplayer, other channels have their own catchuptv services

or you could always buy an aerial/sky/virgin service and a licence

If I edited any posts, it was to finish them by adding detail to HELP YOU, like links to the iplayer live website , to answer your question. I haven't deleted anything.

You came on here, and started insulting me, after I tried to help, here it is in black and white.

Ok "closed" you seem to not be able to read. I have bought a NEW Ariel, and it doesn't matter I can't get signal where I live. If I was happy paying £250 for an Ariel that doesn't work, why wouldn't I get it fixed??? Plus you can't stream live as mentioned. PLUS I want all freeview channels not just bbc. If you do not understand the questions, please do not offer your "help"

SG - yes I know that. Which is why I have asked the question as above. I'm not asking for people to agree with what I have wrote (that I can only watch on demand or iplayer), I wanted to see if anyone knows about a product or service that would do what I'm looking for.

you are the one being rude, you've said I can't read, called me a troll, awful, a bully. Ungrateful drama queen behaviour - who's trolling?

I can read, I can understand the question, you don't seem to appreciate any of the answers, and continually move the goal posts when proved wrong.

You want to watch all (no if's, no buts, no exceptions) freeview channels live, well go to whoever got the £250, and ask them to fix it. The answers to what you can get on google/apple are easy to find by googling.

I have already said I'm not feeding the troll and will not. You edited your posts after saying I should go buy a TV licence and soft it myself. After 2 rude and sarcastic posts (that were later edited) I asked if you could actually read my post. Luckily there are people like miolere and loracan1 on here (and the other poster that tried their best but cannot remember their username), as you are extremely unwelcoming and rude to new forum members. It is nothing to do with me being unhappy that I "can't do what I want", if people say "there's nothing that exists, sorry", I would be fine. Saying "buy a TV licence and sort it out yourself" is just rude. You obviously knew this which is why you edited it.

Lynzog

Sorry tyllwyd, just saw your suggestion. I have thought about it, but didn't know about reception. No one on my road seem to have a dish, although come to think of it I've not really looked. Thanks though, it may be an idea.
Just can't believe there isn't a internet TV box that has freeview! (That isn't catchup)

You seem obsessed about editing, I've haven't removed or edited anything abusive, but your abuse is still there.

Lynzog

Well you have edited your last post lots of times after I replied! I'd say editing a post 3/4 times would seem more obsessive in my book. Writing (and then removing/editing) the rude and sarcastic comments is the issue.
Give it up, please. I'm logging on to see if anyone tech savvy has any further ideas. I'm not interested in more abuse from you.

Imagination is a wonderful thing.

I posted this first and didn't know where it should be posted. Was advised to post again in techie. I had one person say that I should "go buy a tv licence and sort it out myself" who then edited this comment and was being rude and sarcastic. I have since had someone who has helped, and I have thanked them. I'm hardly going to thank someone who is being rude am I?? Also, it does state I am new but there are some very rude and unwelcoming people on this forum.

No you didn't.

Perhaps you might get somewhere if you expand on the £250 business

I edited that, hope that's ok, sometimes life gets in the way.
