    With all this wall to wall coverage crap of a dead man by @skynews and @bbcnews Netflix and Freeview's viewing figures must be the highest they've ever been.

  • AStrangerJ A.j. Stranger #UTAG (@AStrangerJ) reported from Bromley, England

    On the Freeview “REALLY” channel at 9pm, “Who Killed Jeffery Epstein?”. I’ve never seen it before, but I bet the answers not Jeffrey Epstein.

  • fishinthedark1 fishinthedark (@fishinthedark1) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @PayneB44 @tomhfh @BBC Your point was you want a break from it. There’s 1000s of channels, Freeview, YouTube, Sky, NOWTV, Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, BRITBOX DVDs, Blu-rays. Boxsets. There’s never been so much content to take your mind off it. Or just turn the telly off.

    @TalkingPicsTV Hello. Watching at about 4.35 pm on Monday 24th the Sky TV picture was completely lost from your channel and went off air. All other channels were fine. Also okay on Freeview but I missed the end of the film. At 4.48 pm it is still without a, signal. What's up?

    @bt_uk Thanks for the help. I spoke to freeview, tried a few things which didn't work but i contacted your TV help and after doing a few basic things somehow it appears to be working now! Very Strange. Tks

  • Crayon28715896 Mark (@Crayon28715896) reported

    @SkyNews It’s a shame the picture on Sky News is terrible (Freeview). I’d of watched more on Sky News if the picture wasn’t so bad.

  • itvhubhelp ITV Hub Help (@itvhubhelp) reported

    @nicxari @itvhub Hiya, we provide subtitles through the major web browsers, or on iOS/Android. We also have support on some TV devices such as Samsung, Apple TV and Freeview Play but we're keen to get this support expanded to more TV devices!

  • Polly_Phluid Polly Phluid (@Polly_Phluid) reported

    @Ihatethisdumbf1 @RowdyRe80996794 @colinbrazierGBN BBC 1, 2, 3 Parliament, News, they still have both the ones you mentioned - they dropping because they are underfunded They built the freeview network - no business would have done that as it a public service

  • PeterCh94072762 Peter Christian (@PeterCh94072762) reported

    @ToniBeeson2 @johnburtons Hello Toni regarding recording father brown I am with sky so I can record and record and save them up to watch but if I decided to cancel and use the box as a Freeview box you can't record on them you can only watch TV programmes unless you have got a dvd recorder set up 2 record

  • HSouthwellFE Hazel Southwell (@HSouthwellFE) reported

    Channel 4 HD is channel 104 on freeview for anyone else who just watched the start in the resolution of an etch-a-sketch

  • NeilNeilasher Neil Asher (@NeilNeilasher) reported

    @spenjflairs @rogermosey @GaryLineker Why would a subscription service have to arrive by internet/cable? #Sky is a subscription service. It arrives via dish as does #Freesat. Sky just needs a viewing card for the subscription channels. Why cant a #freeview box have a viewing card slot for BBC? Even an STB for BBC?

  • bucksdeathwish bee 🌸 (@bucksdeathwish) reported

    @katiephipps some people really don’t get it, netflix can cost nearly £16 a month whereas freeview costs nothing, getting rid of cbbc is just another kick in the teeth for low-income. i don’t think some people understand what it means to be poor it makes me so angry

  • HD2onPBdotcom Brian Corbett (@HD2onPBdotcom) reported

    @rogermosey Work on the transmitter near Manchester in the last month means that ALL BBC transmissions - national radio, local radio, SD TV and HD TV have ceased here: I cannot receive about 30% of the Freeview channels I have been getting over the last 6+ years. And retuning doesn't help

  • Polly_Phluid Polly Phluid (@Polly_Phluid) reported

    @RowdyRe80996794 @colinbrazierGBN Yeah - but only truly stupid UK people think it's just telly. BBC is state owned, so it's funded by a fee or a tax They have 6 channels of TV, countless radio stations inc Radio 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 - plus they run the the Freeview network that digital TV for aerials
