    Some 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

  • XtopherCalvert Christmas Calvert (he/him) (@XtopherCalvert) reported from Poplar, England

    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?

    @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?

  • Dante_Banks Danté Banks (@Dante_Banks) reported from Tottenham, England

    @tinytwink The poor shouldn't have anything they have to work for. Big screen TV - nope. Netflix - what's wrong with Freeview? Mobile phone - can't they walk to the phone box on the corner that was disconnected five years ago. They think if you're poor you should suffer or not be poor.

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • maggieinlondon Maggie - wear a mask 💙🏳️‍🌈🌱 (@maggieinlondon) reported from Wandsworth, England

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @BlitzExternals Hi, there. If the TV isn't letting you accept the Freeview Play Terms and Conditions, check to see if there's a software update available for the TV. Otherwise, you'll need to contact the TVs manufacturer for further support. Fraser

  • RobSmit12639238 Tech Man (@RobSmit12639238) reported

    @David__Osland Not watched Freeview & not had a TV Licence since 2015 so Im not contributing to his salary.However if I was then I might have a problem. I disagree with how the BBC & Licence fee has gone for yrs hence why I cancelled. As for Train Drivers & Nurses.Why are Nurses paid so little?

  • richtea78 richtea78 (@richtea78) reported

    @p4G3y30 @MartinSLewis If you watch or record TV on any channel via any TV service (e.g. Sky, Virgin, Freeview, Freesat), you need to be covered by a TV Licence. You don’t need a TV Licence if you never watch live on any channel, TV service or streaming service, or use BBC iPlayer*. On any device.
