@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

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.

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?

@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

@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.

@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.

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.

@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.

@StevenNT @a516digital Just got it confirmed by my neighbour, he was told way back in February, hes still fuming mad about it, because he was canvassed away from sky by some **** who knew nothing about the freeview problems we have.

It is turning into quite a successful week for “terrible films I love” popping up on niche Freeview channels. Tonight on channel 33 (if I can get it) - Matthew McConaghay vs a dragon that is mainly offscreen for what we can only assume were budget reasons. #reignoffire

@kevinhollinrake Lots of radio stations still missing on Freeview TV in Kirkbymoorside—a bit of a nuisance when the DAB signal to DAB radio sets is virtually non-existent indoors. Fixing the transmitter doesn’t look like a simple task, though, given the size of the thing.

@JeremyVineOn5 A paedetrician on GB News (freeview 236) last week said higher chance of under 18s dying of heart problems following jab than dying of Covid. If they’ve already had covid the chance of dying after jab even greater
