Here to add my 1 star to this joke of a TV station. It's 2026 NOT 2001...someone tell the CEO that there's this thing called 'streaming TV' via an internet connection. Because I think they will find that surprising. Utterly unable to deliver a robust service. Takes me back to buffering video in 2005. Total joke. Either deliver the service like your peers or cease to exist. It's that simple.

Constantly buffers, constantly crashes, causing a TOTAL re-boot of your ENTIRE system by having to unplug EVERYTHING and re-set. Subtitles are abysmal and just disappear from the screen so, if you NEED them - good luck! 😡
It's a pity as some good choices of watchable TV. Just a pity you can't watch them!! 😡

Thatvidiot Phil Yates spoiling the snooker final with his verbal rubbish. Not once did either of the commentators mention haw many reds needed to be pocketed to win a frame or give thoughts on shots. In efect they were not commenting on the game. Even now listening to the drivel about previous matches instead of the current match. Absolutly useles.

Nearly impossible to watch anything with the amount of ads. 8 or 9 ads each time and they're played at least every 15 minutes. It's ridiculous.
It's a shame because there are some good programmes that I actually want to watch.

App functions like a valve radio...

The app behaves like a valve radio... so unstable that it can't even play an entire episode without crashing and displaying the message 'we're experiencing some problems, please try again later.'

Inconsistent tone during serious news

It's puzzling why the presenter occasionally sounds cheerful when delivering sad news. It would be great if there was more consideration for the impact of the words being used. Am I the only one who has noticed this? Apologies, it feels off. Additionally, the same disappointing holiday films every year are quite tiresome!

This app is truly terrible

This app is truly terrible. It crashes multiple times during a single show. It goes blank, forcing me to exit and re-enter, often multiple times, and I have to watch the ads every time. It's a joke.

Dan Walker's delivery is puzzling...

Why does the presenter sometimes sound so cheerful when reporting sad or tragic news? It would be nice if there was more awareness of the message being conveyed. Am I the only one who notices this? Sorry, but it feels off. Also, the same disappointing holiday movies every year are quite boring!

Streaming app is very disappointing

I'm watching a series on the streaming app. I have to re-enable subtitles after every ad break. When I added the series to my list, I had to exit the program to get rid of the menu; when I restarted, it began from the start of the episode. A frustrating app.

News report is outdated

I just watched the news, and it was from before the budget announcement. The editing is poor; please take a look.
