    @Channel4 Hello. Can I watch Channel 4 *live* through the All 4 app on smart TV? All I see is catchup. I would like to watch CH 4 news every night but my aerial is broken, no Freeview. Please advise.

    @channel5_tv is the worst for catch up tv via your app or freeview. Just canโ€™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

    Some days I really wish I'd kept all those calls to @JimDavisOnAir on my freeview box. I've been sent way back in time with a USB memory stick, a few years back with some calls. Damn, I really miss those days with the song choice and #JimDavisLive And it was just brilliant radio

    Question for arts people. We donโ€™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?

    On the Freeview โ€œREALLYโ€ channel at 9pm, โ€œWho Killed Jeffery Epstein?โ€. Iโ€™ve never seen it before, but I bet the answers not Jeffrey Epstein.

    @FreeviewAdvice hi there. Please see DMs sent to Freeview account asking for support with channels that don't show (weird D sign with \ on it next to them) including Sky News, Pick and others. Many thanks

    @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.

    The Freeview is down in my area. As #Eurovision is on, I thought I had a lucky escape but nope...the Mrs has just beamed it over iPlayer. Eurghhh ๐Ÿ˜”

    There is definitely a place amongst the 100+ channels we have on Freeview / freesat for something like Classic FM TV. I miss that, but it got lazy, and had pretty poor sound and picture quality.

    "What's happening" ***** if I wanted to always know other people's interpretation of "what's happening" I wouldn't need the internet for that. I'd just chain myself to freeview television. No one is supposed to absorb this much ****, it's bad for your goddamn mind.

  • Stephen_Neal
    Stephen Neal (@Stephen_Neal) reported

    @nigelwUK @MatthewMarks42 @bobdvb Odd. It must be doing a 5.1->2.0 PCM fold-down rather than a 5.1 PCM output I guess. There is no stereo on Freeview HD when 5.1 is being broadcast. (On satellite there is a parallel stereo audio description feed)

    @2261552iThe How are people supposed to watch on Freeview? I don't trust BT and will never use them as they owe us money when we changed Broadband and phone provider. They never returned our money and won't respond to emails or calls.
