    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?

  • cycleoptic cycleoptic💙💚 (@cycleoptic) reported from Islington, England

    @jock_savage @ruskin147 This licence lets you use and install receiving equipment at the licensed place. watch or record TV on any channel via any TV service (e.g. Sky, Virgin, Freeview, Freesat) watch live on streaming services (e.g. ITVX, All 4, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Now, Sky Go)

  • AStrangerJ A.j. Stranger #UTAG (@AStrangerJ) reported from Bromley, England

    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.

  • MartinC93414706 Martin (@MartinC93414706) reported from Lambeth, England

    @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

  • bartoyuk rupert bettison (@bartoyuk) reported from Plymouth, England

    Not a happy boy my @bt_uk broadband is down and wont be fixed to next week will have to go and buy a freeview box I guess especially with this sporting weekend

  • nick_thompson Nicholas Thompson (@nick_thompson) reported

    @NewsAMorgan @Jezzer_UK @mrmitchell78 Problem is, the services they offer are publically broadcast and not trivially paywalls for a subscription service. Sure, freeview offers some kind of encrypted broadcast, but that's just the TV. What do we do? Paywall BBC news and weather? Kill all FM BBC radio?

  • GoldCascade Stuart (@GoldCascade) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    STV on sat 103 and on Freeview showing wrestling when it shd be Tour Highlights...WTF is going on....at least Eurosport is on later. #STV #tourdefrance

  • AnnieGE2 AnnieGE2 (@AnnieGE2) reported

    @EmmaKennedy A tip if you're still finding itv2 signal dodgy on your Sky box, assuming the TV you're watching on has digital freeview built-in you can always switch to viewing itv2 on freeview, the signal source would be different. Need an aerial of course & a (re)tuned TV, & select DTV input

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital Also after speaking to nieghbours, the streaming giants have probably missed there own boat, because not everyone want every service. This is where the likes of freesat and freeview should dive in.
