@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.

@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

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?

@blackplastic8 @AdrianFaiers Tech issues make it almost impossible. Charter means progs have to be accessible to all. Millions don't even have connected tv's or internet access. You'd have to dump the Charter. Or provide free Freeview boxes to millions. Cost prohibitive. #r4today

@ThatsTVOfficial I have messaged freeview for an update and this is what I was told Sorry to hear about the missing channels, there appears to be a technical issue at the broadcaster’s end, and they are currently working toward a fix. Hopefully the channel will be back on soon as possible.

.@FreeviewTV considering your "Freeview" / Freesat product is being eaten by the competition, when will you stop YOUR STUPID **** of scrambling the EPG for manufacturers equipment that didn't pay the Freeview tax, and stop blocking the one week of EPG to only display Now / Next?

John Levene has asked me to point everyone in the direction of the channel U&Eden (Freeview: Channel 57/Freesat: Channel 160) which is showing a bumper Benton package today : The Time Monster and The Three Doctors. Not a bad way to spend Boxing Day.

@virginmedia someone needs to think outside the box and have backup systems, yea we have freeview via aerial, yea we have mobiles and mobile data but by having 5g sim in your hubs it would at least give those that don't have tv and Internet service working

Freeview changes on That's Media Freeview channel 80 That's TV will move to Freeview channel 56 bad news only available in Manchester Freeview channel 85 That's TV 2 will move to Freeview channel 65 bad news only available in Manchester That's TV channels unaffected on Freeview in Manchester and channel 7 & 8 unaffected on Freeview. I think get rid of That's TV 3 and That's Christmas and use there national Frequency for That's TV and That's TV 2 like on Freesat. And Manchester can keep That's TV 3 and That's Christmas.
