Roku.Originally posted by sadkingbilly View Post
As the account you set up is free.
Firestick is linked to Amazon and they are randomly silly buggers."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

I would lean towards Roku too.
While iPlayer et al are available, there ARE apps which let you stream a feed of live broadcast TV channels. I don't know the legality and I've found them a bit unreliable.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsOriginally posted by vetranComment

Got a Roku a few weeks ago as BBC iPlayer didn't work on my old TV anymore. Pretty good. No Freeview but a lot of channels and catch up stuff including free ones. Some of the others let you do one off purchases. Forget price, but No Time To Die was quite cheap,Last edited by xoggoth; 31 January 2022, 16:58.bloggoth

A quick Google suggests there are plenty of freeview set top boxes with HDMI still available...

A quick Google search would also remind you you need a TV socket in the room for that to work... does the OP have one?Originally posted by Dark Black View PostOriginally posted by MaryPoppinsOriginally posted by vetranComment
