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.

@FreeviewAdvice hi there. Please see DMs sent to Freeview account asking for support with channels that don't show (weird D sign with \ on it next to them) including Sky News, Pick and others. Many thanks

@stevieboywise If that’s Freeview maybe due to high pressure issue again.

To be honest, when you've removed the dependency of other real time tv, i cant see many people chipping in. Many will be paying just to watch their subscription service or Freeview.

@Stephen_Neal Good shout! If we just take the Freeview/Freesat ones, we get to ten, excluding the National ones: 1) BBC One 2) BBC Two 3) BBC Four 4) CBBC 5) CBeebies 6) BBC News 7) BBC Parliament 8) Dave 9) Drama 10) Yesterday But they aren’t licence fee funded, so don’t help the argument.

@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.

@DrRacheal @FreeviewTV When I had problems with Freeview, I found their helpline - when I eventually managed to get through to someone - very helpful. Took me step-by-step through the stuff I could check and solved it for me.

@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.

@HarrietSergeant @darrengrimes_ What’s your solution? Obviously advertising is out of the question and it has to be kept on freeview to allow accessibility for all, so what do you propose?

BAME in Wiltshire
(@BameWiltshire) reported
@bbchealth BBC could be a service reaching out 24/7 to include the people who work long, late hours and have poor access to the Internet. Instead we have a mental diet of murder killings and sad repeats. Freeview is failing in its remit to educate and inform. You could have an NHS channel?

@GBNEWS Would like to say to silly people saying "ah yes but poor people will have to pay for subscription service if BBC gives them back their £159" No, I NEVER watch BBC cannot stand it yet have to pay. Happy with 5 Freeview channels: GB News, Talking Pictures, Horror, Blaze, Sky Arts.

I have contempt for Freeview which expanded tonight when I switched to the Drama Chanel to watch what I thought would be a new "The Last Detective". True to form Freeview, this incompetent producer of rubbish TV was putting out yet another repeat. Close Freeview Down.

Remember, the #BBCLicenceFee doesn't just pay for BBC Broadcast services, but for the investment in research, infrastructure etc that enables free to air viewing via other platforms and services. Without BBC support freeview and freesat would probably collapse

Ofcom requires public service channels to have slot in the top 24 slots of the channel list. BBC Three must be assigned a top 24 slot within 18 months. Freeview is doing this immediately. Commercial operators have expressed concern that the BBC will swap Three and Four around,

Media Show actually getting into the big issue with a subscription BBC. Freeview. How do 18m, generally older people, who may skew Tory, watch Strictly?

@TheLordMidge @5h4k35p34r31 @guardian Amongst other routes there are plenty of freeview/sat boxes that allow access to the android App Store allowing that service to be used on a freeview certified box. It is the major funder and essentially saved the system from commercial demise.
