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?

@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

@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.

@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.

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.

@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.

@BierStarmer @GoingMedieval There's a directors cut of this I never knew existed until I happened to catch it in on some freeview channel a while ago. Lots of extra Rickman but it's way darker in tone so you can see why it wasn't in the original release.

@russty_russ Hugely disappointing as they on concentrated on Teletext Holidays, a digital service on Freeview at the time.

@AnnSkelly3 Don't go for Virgin, it's awful. The woman I work for was with sky and paying a fortune. One of the other staff recommended virgin, think it was because she got £50 for recommending it. All freeview channels are now gone. So called Free virgin channels are terrible

@BBCiPlayer Hi - can one of your technical staff explain why iPlayer is unable to pass a basic 5.1 soundtrack after all this time? Almost every other streaming service can handle it. Why do I have to choose between UHD + 2.0 or HD (Freeview/Sky) + 5.1. Thanks!

@afneil @GBNEWS The channel is too much of the same for my liking. Good to see you on TV again but your signal isn't strong enough for me to get it on Freeview

no, resetting your smart tv will not fix your catch up issues. -reload your freeview stations. -enter your passwords. -that's the wrong password (no it's not netflix). -log into your email to reset your password. -reenter your password. do not try this at home 😭😭

@simonnread I've struck lucky today, normally Talking Pics pixelates. Will record and watch later. Ever since they tinkered with Freeview the signal has been appalling. Laurel & Hardy still funny to this day.

@MSwift94 Honestly think a better solution to get people into cricket (I presume this is what it's for) would be to just put more normal cricket and more t20 cricket on freeview telly.
