Christmas Calvert (he/him) (@XtopherCalvert) reported from Poplar, EnglandQuestion for arts people. We don’t use Freeview as our signal is much more reliable using Apple TV through our internet connection. Is there a way I can get @SkyArts via Apple TV?

Steven Gothard (@StevenGothard) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@S66Cams @ellabellajolie @sashalouise__x I've lost studio 66 on freeview can you help please
-
Allan Kempson (@summers_allan) reported from Romford, England@talkSPORT @Sjopinion10 That's a bad idea. Sky have rights to other sports too, so a netflix football service would be yet another thing to pay for if you like multiple sports. More football needs to be on freeview channels like BBC and ITV.

MadameCholet (@PurpleDon1973) reported from Ilford, EnglandSome days I really wish I'd kept all those calls to @JimDavisOnAir on my freeview box. I've been sent way back in time with a USB memory stick, a few years back with some calls. Damn, I really miss those days with the song choice and #JimDavisLive And it was just brilliant radio

Martin (@MartinC93414706) reported from Lambeth, England@channel5_tv is the worst for catch up tv via your app or freeview. Just can’t find programmes sometimes. Trying to find Sally Lindsays posh sleepover. C4, itv and BBC never ever have a problem with. I give up with C5

Davidp (@Davidp1103) reported from Gravesend, England@Complyorcry @Back_Two_Mee To @TalkTalk they are okay but the broadband is not a good as VM but it's okay; it cut the monthly bill in half. I have since dropped their tv service and bought a freeview recorder. Monthly bill for broadband/phone £38

Sam (Flower Girl) Jennings (@flowergirl_lon) reported from Croydon, England@GeorgeBollands @gemoore83 @BBCSport Ok… I have Now tv so don’t think I can get that but I’ll have a look. My regular freeview is crap as I don’t have an aerial, only have internet streamed TV.

Nessy 😷 (@nessymon) reported from London, England@MarketaDee @CNN Freeview has never worked for us for some reason.. will try again. Thanks.
-
David-19 (@Davidp1103) reported from Gravesend, England@TalkTalk It would be nice if you could reduce or remove a £40 charge for an engineer who called but made no inspection of equipment, explained that Freeview channels had been altered; a fact that your customer services were not aware of, but should have known.
-

Antonio Catta (@antonio_catta) reported@ann958230 It's clear that you never lived abroad if not for holidays. (And I bet you're a regular Freeview Tv customer). It's useless to keep this conversation. Have a good day
-
Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported@MaryJasper2 So sorry to hear that....Vengeance Valley will be on our catch up service Encore via your red button on Freeview or online at www.tptvencore..co.uk
-
Dean (@Toasty83) reported@GregScottTV Uktv still broadcasting with a caption to turn over to bbc news earlier. Some Shopping channels down, Sky could have closed sky arts or pick on freeview with sky news in its place, They didn't, Showcase though are but it'd pay tv.

Oli from Reading 🦁 (@OliReading) reported@Julian70703354 @sharonsstacey That's not showing on Freeview yet but then Freeview is never too fast at updating 🤔🤔 #EastEnders
-
Carrie (@MissCarrieW) reportedI've had Sky News on in the background today because my freeview seems to be broken. But I now really want the familiar voice of Huw Edwards. Don't think I am alone as iPlayer seems to have crashed too. #RIPQueenElizabeth
-
Pete (@PeterGriffithss) reported@DomWarner @Tankslider @RussInCheshire Mate, I'm watching Wheel of Time on a streaming service right now. Even if you're on Freeview you've got more than 5 channels and there's one showing Extreme Philately. Go to there.
-
Historical Television Website (@htwcentral) reportedThat's all I could spot this evening on Freeview though there could have been other message(s) shown earlier which I never saw. No doubt some TV presentation sites/forums will have a comprehensive guide to what was shown/not shown tonight. 15/

Rev Dr Dom💙 (@RevDrDom) reported@FreeviewAdvice @ToshibaTEC_UK I don’t think it’s an issue with freeview play, the Toshiba tv I have seems to have deleted the app even though there’s a button on the remote specifically for it. I was hoping @ToshibaTEC_UK customer service was better than their tvs, guess not. Thanks for your reply though
-
brand (@ryubrand) reported@notoriousok we was poor so we only had freeview growing up so it was like CBBC, CITV & **** but i’d go my friends house and watch cartoon network **** take my back

Tech Man (@RobSmit12639238) reported@ImIncorrigible Not yet. Im preparing for at least a 2 week blackout of Radio when it happens. I'll check Nick Abbot's Fri/Sat podcast. Havent watched Freeview since 2015/Sky since 2017 so avoiding News wont be a problem. YT & the New US Drama's start end Sept 2022. I'll listen 2Old Nick A shows
