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.

@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.

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?

@leethommo I suppose it was the best of a bad job, the rest of the TV schedule (especially for tight wads like me who just have Freeview) was pretty appalling. Lots probably just watch out of habit (that’s kind of what we do). It was pretty grim though.

Wherever you can watch Free TV. Isn't Freely free TV 🤔 When TLC was launched on Freely channel 17 it's not really Freely it's more Freeview. Anything that comes from an aerial is Freeview and not Freely. Misleading channel like Rewind TV say we are on Freely channel 141 how many viewers watch Rewind TV on Freely maybe 1%. Most Freely viewers don't access to an aerial. Freely is really good in Freeview lite areas because Freeview lite areas have hardly any channels and the signal is very poor when high pressure comes in and relay Transmitters have hardly any power. The range of relay Transmitters is about 5 miles and the main Transmitters range is about 45 miles. The main Transmitters kills most of the relay Transmitters in high pressure conditions this is when Freely comes into action with no interference from the weather.
