    @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.

    @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?

    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.

    @GeorgeBollands @gemoore83 @BBCSport Ok… I have Now tv so don’t think I can get that but I’ll have a look. My regular freeview is crap as I don’t have an aerial, only have internet streamed TV.

    @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

  • 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?

  • PurpleDon1973
    MadameCholet (@PurpleDon1973) reported from Ilford, England

    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

    @BBCNews Is there a problem with sound on the News Channel on freeview (233) keep hearing voices in background for the past week when presenters are talking #odd #confusing

  • katy_whitton
    Katy (@katy_whitton) reported

    Bear in mind that the original Freeview (UK) group was launched back in 2002 so Channel 5 is only 20 or so years late Must have been all of that Public Service stuff they were organising which meant they couldn't join the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Sky 16/

  • klothklicker
    Dee 💉💉💉🇺🇦 (@klothklicker) reported

    @APndrgrst What I like to watch is available free to air, & I don't know where else to find it. This year I tried the free apple TV sub that came with my tablet. Everything was pay per view with a monthly fee as well. I quit! I listen to the radio on Freeview too: no reception issues.

  • WellyGeeNZ
    Gary Weatherhead 💉x3 (@WellyGeeNZ) reported

    @Suzyiam If you have a modern-ish ‘Freeview’ aerial on your roof then you can get NZ’s free to air Freeview service. 26 TV channels and 2 radio stations (other parts of NZ it may vary, that’s here in Kāpiti). I have a 6yr old TV which gets Freeview fine, plus I use Netflix & Disney apps

    @petemorristwit Simples- the @BBC should be on Freeview or a subscription service. They've screwed the British public for too long.😡

    @matt02392 Virgin Media doesn't have a network in the Channel Islands. Here, ITV offers audio description via Freeview and satellite. ITV Border Scotland offers AD on SD, as there's no HD version of that channel.

    @jayrayner1 There are that many choices of chanels today that even with just freeview there are loads of alternatives so don't see the problem🤔
