Lamia Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 We have binned our licence fee and already have a smart TV and a freesat box we can use to watch the catch-up channels so thought we could just disconnect the satellite to avoid any issues. However the freesat box is a nightmare to use to search for programmes. I was wondering what the best options people could suggest for easily searching and watching on demand?

Parklife Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Surely if you have a smart TV you'll have the iplayer and on demand apps on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamia Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Surely if you have a smart TV you'll have the iplayer and on demand apps on it? Maybe I am just a bit thick about how it works. If I turn it on without the freesat box being on there doesn't seem to be anything. We can access the iplayer via the freesat box but it is a real pain to navigate or search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flure Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 You'll have an "apps" menu on your TV? What TV (make/model) do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamia Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Ah ha figured it out. Still have a problem with the navigation though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exile Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I can't think of a single program i watch on Channel 5. it's not as mind blowingly bad as ITV2 though. I think I once watched a Scotland game on it. I think it's the only time, 10+ years ago, before internet alternatives... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
