    @Aisha_mk @FreeviewAdvice Go into Freeview Play from settings sign in and accept terms and conditions this should solve it

    @Cyanosis1966 @BATC_London @DPJHodges 1) How do you (technically) have a subscription service that doesn’t require a set top box/internet connectivity? 18m people use Freeview, & 1.8m households have no internet access 3) If you need to pay £20/month to Sky/Virgin to access it, it is more expensive than a licence fee

    @JeremyVineOn5 No. They provide the Freeview network, are there to inform us in an unbiased way without undue influence from vested interests. Rupert Murdoch could never do that nor any of his successors.

    Liz Truss has hinted she will announce more help on the cost of living - as Labour calls for the government to make public the plans it is considering. Sky's has the latest 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube

    @o_sheilagh @albundysdad No one is forcing you to cancel your sky, Freeview etc. Just watch on demand.

    @NOWHelpTeam Well all this tweeting these past 24 hours seems to be complete waste of time I'm sure you'll agree. No chat is going to help. The issue is clearly your end. Sort it! Thank god Oscars are on Freeview via Sky Arts. After the month I'll be canceling subscription. F'ing Useless!

    @RyanMcM89 @hothorrorqueen It's been on mine for ages too but I haven't tracked it down as a Freeview yet.

    .@FreeviewTV phew, the new weather patterns of rain that lasts for days. And the awful #Freeview TV, where you search for something to watch and find nothing. And oh the adverts that go on and on and on...

    @acrobat1977 @SkyArts Does it work for you? Sky Arts on Freeview is not working for me!
