@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.

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

@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.

@bt_uk Thanks for the help. I spoke to freeview, tried a few things which didn't work but i contacted your TV help and after doing a few basic things somehow it appears to be working now! Very Strange. Tks

@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.

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.

Continually frustrated by @TalkTalk and its inconsistent service and performance. Have today purchased a freeview recorder to replace their box and will be actively looking for new broadband provider.

@Simon_OW Wasn't it terrible? It was like something you'd see on an obscure Freeview channel, not the platform with the biggest original content budget in the world.

BBC to "support the distribution of S4C services across multiple platforms". Adds weight to comment in BBC Three Public Interest Test about allocating bandwidth to S4C HD in Wales on Freeview.

@AmazonHelp I'm using a JVC smart TV that "Works With Alexa", and it's connected to my Wi-Fi. Netflix works, but YouTube, Amazon Prime, Freeview Play and the Alexa feature has connection problems.

@a516digital Im talking about bbc on sky and freesat of course, and itv when you know how to tune it in. But this will be good news, i hope it also triggers some form of support for freeview users.

I have a contractor over to finally fix the aerial and the freeview coverage in the house. I offered him tea/coffee but he refused. I am not sure what I am supposed to do right now. The citizenship test did not prepare me for this.

@7plus why is your Freeview app not working. Constantly loading. Have not received reply from tech support. Panasonic viera TV. All other channels work fine.
