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.

@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

@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.

@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.

@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?

@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

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.

@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.

With all this wall to wall coverage crap of a dead man by @skynews and @bbcnews Netflix and Freeview's viewing figures must be the highest they've ever been.

Hotel’s not bad at all. One of them little gaffs where they’ve got several and I had to carry my suitcase up three flights of stairs, but an unexpected fridge and if I can work out how to get the Freeview on I’ll be absolutely laughing here. Sainsbury’s over the road an all.

@Mrpaulfox @Potatoe_Waffles @Machobeard4life Digital TV only allows the 5 main channels everything else is freeview, most of us rely on WiFi to view American products, because not all of us have a freeview box because we don't wanna pay TV licence of the thieving BBC, which has literally the worst programming on it

@ApeGugas @Choyaa13 Was that really a thing back in the day? Never occurred to me before. Of course, nowadays all of the channels are in the same Freeview multiplex from the same mast.

I see @SkyUK have put their prices up yet again...I'm only on basic package but I'd be paying nearly £40 a month to watch shows with adverts. £40! Nah, going to cancel and hook up a Freeview box.

@9prmills9 The Android Freeview box I'm streaming it to my TV on slows it down also. Streaming on the PC is behind still but not this much. I miss the satellite Sky box but this is cheaper.

@theJeremyVine @thetrainline @AvantiWestCoast No because from August 10th 2021 until January 5th 2022 we had no Freeview signal thanks the Bilsdale transmitter fire so no TV whatsoever for us. Temporary service restored out of 220+ channels we've got 30 channels. So missed every single one of those and we had 1/2

@transdiffusion I was there. With the red square of signal death. What a great team we had at Ondigital. It's a pity it was doomed to fail from the outset - but every time I use Freeview, I'm glad we did what we did to make DVB happen.

@SkyUK It is really not good. Switches itself off even when set not to ! The playlist doesn’t always work- you can only watch stuff as agreements are valid & some stuff is immediately unavailable! Many channels missing which are on satellite. Rewind / ffwd poor. No real Freeview etc
