    Question 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?

    @jock_savage @ruskin147 This licence lets you use and install receiving equipment at the licensed place. watch or record TV on any channel via any TV service (e.g. Sky, Virgin, Freeview, Freesat) watch live on streaming services (e.g. ITVX, All 4, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Now, Sky Go)

    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.

  • Davidp1103 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.

    @HarrietHarman We do not wish to pull it down We are happy for you to continue paying to fund it If you’re on the right side of history it will have a bright future We simply do not wish to fund the BBC in order to be allowed to watch free TV like Ch 4, 5, ITV & Freeview

  • llamalaa Stephen Knight (@llamalaa) reported

    @DrHoenderkamp @BBC How's that going to fund radio transmitters, freeview, local TV reporters, the world service, broadband rollout, other UK language channels such as S4C, etc. It would mean taxes would go up to support that as commercial companies wouldn't find that.

    @BenInRushcliffe @GBNEWS So they should be moved from the 'News' section of the Freeview schedule. Give them a channel number similar to the Food Network or QVC.

  • Brendan80704486 BrendanB (@Brendan80704486) reported

    @BotFinderUK Let them pay for it then - and exempt the others from a compulsory licence fee to watch tv even if you never watch the BBC. No one is forced to pay to watch Sky or GB News - they are free on freeview. They are forced to pay for the BBC if they want to watch any live tv.
