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.

@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.

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?

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

@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

@FreeviewAdvice Have been having trouble with my freeview since 8th March 2023. Before that the reception on all channels was perfect. Suddenly the picture is cracking up and going slow. It is not very bad but it is not as perfect as it was. The sound is a bit affected too.

@FreeviewAdvice My mum lives at LL11 6UN and since yesterday her and her neighbours have had trouble picking up the majority of the freeview channels. Is there any work in the area that has caused this?

(@a516digital) reported
@markisawimp @garyb007 Signal should be the same as before (same frequency, same transmitter). Your TV may have added a weaker copy from a relay in the 800s. You'll probably have to do a full retune, that'll ensure you have all the latest Freeview channel updates.

@Chris_Hill_Bsc @FreeviewAdvice It's not really good enough is it? But Freeview was never going to work reliably once most of the broadcast spectrum was sold to cellular companies. The BBC, Freeview and Ofcom have a major problem and are basically forcing everyone to use online.

@Elliot_CB @LeeAndersonMP_ No I pay for the things you don’t get with the “free service”. Like the sky compared to freeview. That fact you can’t figure that out shows the level you’re working with. Try harder.

@newt_kiters I guess when I get round to actually get sky, I won’t need a dish or a set-top box or anything. I’m assuming it will come straight through the TV through the Internet. The trouble is I don’t watch a lot of TV I’m usually listening to music or out walking. Only Freeview
