@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?

@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.

@channel5_tv is the worst for catch up tv via your app or freeview. Just can’t find programmes sometimes. Trying to find Sally Lindsays posh sleepover. C4, itv and BBC never ever have a problem with. I give up with C5

@leksi_p Correct. If you do not have Freeview, Sky or Virgin (or any other cable service), you should not need to pay if you never watch it.

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.

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.

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?

@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.

@Starrygem4 Web said page not available. Thanks anyway Diane. The annoying thing is, I already registered months ago, but recently sign in came up for every prog and its so frustrating. I don't get tv reception where I live, so can't watch on freeview. Why do we have to sign in at all?

@virginmedia We get freeview on our tele. We got told that an engineer would come around within an alloted time, and they never arrived. We just got cables posted later that week. It's sad that Virgin don't look after their loyal customers, just charge them more every year.

(@Jamesalk3) reported
Oh joy. The United game is on ITV4 which means there are two options for those with Freeview. Either watch on ITV4 SD, which has arguably the worst picture quality of any channel, or stream with a major delay on their awful @ITVX app.

@isamutlib @neilmorrison @virginmedia What broadband do you use? I have smart TV and firesticks on other tvs but still need broadband. I'm paying for just basic channels that I can get on freeview too and a phone line I never use 😕 Tempted to lose the phone line & tv and just keep basic broadband

@ITVXhelp @ITVX Whilst I can't comment on the above devices, I can comment on Freeview Play. The Device I baught a mere 28 days ago WILL NEVER work #ITVX even though ITV Hub is installed. Therefore, for you to state, "If your TV had ITV Hub it will automatically upgrade to ITVX." is incorrect.

@IanRedman11 @BBCNews Even when set to london no local news just red screen for 4 mins every 30 mins - its a BBC issue not a settings issue - you watch via Freeview you get local news or via sky you can retune to local news but via app on all hdmi plug in devices no local news

@Michi_Midge Is this for television? We got rid of Sky Years ago as we realised what we watched was mostly available on Freesat and Freeview. We’ve never had wifi through them, we have Plusnet.

@RegularTweetsUK Same as Great Movies Action? I think S4C should have a nationwide reach especially with the BBC shutting down 2 of their channels. But I heard that RXTV has 3 vacant spaces on Freeview.

@SkyHelpTeam please give your engineers better training. Twice in the last year they've disconnected my entire block of flats from the (freeview) aerial when connecting someone to Sky Q, it's taking me months and ££ to fix their mistakes.

@biglesp I remember going through this process many years ago. I only had phone and broadband at the time, but was told that if I had a TV box as well my monthly cost would be cheaper. The TV box was delivered and I never used it as I already had Freeview for TV. Madness.
