    I didn't think I could watch the Oscars cos I don't have Sky Showcase, was about to turn the tv off, thought I'd try Sky Arts (its on Freeview so I can get that channel) on the off chance its on there and it is, I've never watched the Oscars before just seen clips #Oscars

  • StBeany StBeany (@StBeany) reported

    @bt_uk The other problem is that your channel numbering does not tally with any TV listings, not even with Freeview?

    @Cyanosis1966 @BATC_London @DPJHodges 1) How do you (technically) have a subscription service that doesn’t require a set top box/internet connectivity? 18m people use Freeview, & 1.8m households have no internet access 3) If you need to pay £20/month to Sky/Virgin to access it, it is more expensive than a licence fee

    @acrobat1977 @SkyArts Does it work for you? Sky Arts on Freeview is not working for me!

  • Kevthegod1 Kevthegod (@Kevthegod1) reported

    @GBNEWS @Jacob_Rees_Mogg We have no need for World service, s4c , education programming, local radio, support for Freeview/sat infrastructure, free TV for over 75s, etc , etc ?? Plus it's public not state

  • jonwensley Jon Wensley (@jonwensley) reported

    @Boe12986 @GBNEWS @Jacob_Rees_Mogg If they do, they will have to go on a Sky/Virgin/Set-top box platform. People will then have to pay for the base service (>£20 a month) for what was free to air on Freeview before. 18m people use Freeview.

    @RyanMcM89 @hothorrorqueen It's been on mine for ages too but I haven't tracked it down as a Freeview yet.

    @ColinSkinner17 @Dinosaur1177 @MartinDaubney The BBC is a pay TV station so like other pay TV stations they shouldn't be on Freeview and their signal should be scrambled on other platforms. If people without a license good on them
