    @TalkingPicsTV Hello. Watching at about 4.35 pm on Monday 24th the Sky TV picture was completely lost from your channel and went off air. All other channels were fine. Also okay on Freeview but I missed the end of the film. At 4.48 pm it is still without a, signal. What's up?

    @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.

    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.

    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

    @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.

    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.

    @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

    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?

    @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

    @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.

    @dinogoldie Hi, we need to know who provides the signal so we take a look into this issue - is your signal provider Sky, Virgin Media, Freeview, Freesat etc? #B99

  • dinogoldie

    @4Viewers Freeview - my reception isn't the issue. It's a production error with the recording.

    @bantalols They're showing that on Forces TV, on Freeview. It's still ****.

  • Daverjr
    David_bythesea (@Daverjr) reported

    @ArchRose90 Freeview recorders would face the same dilemma. Prob easier to simply replace the unit for a new design with a card reader integrated. U.K. also has the FreeSat (free satellite) service which has identical issues. Sky + cable users could simply add BBC to their current package.

    @KeersMatt @steve_race BBC is 💩 compared to Netflix 🏅 £120/yr for the latter with option to cancel without prejudice. I don't have any TV channels / Freeview / iPlayer / Sky / Virgin / BT TV & don't watch live shows etc but have to pay a licence or risk prosecution? 'splain that one please 🤔

  • sstrauch1955
    Sameh (@sstrauch1955) reported

    @FreeviewTV For several days now, the TV guide in the Freeview website has not been updating. For example, right now, at 17:27, it says that BBC News at Six is on. Can you please fix it?

  • ChingfordChrisS
    Chingford Chris 🇬🇧 (@ChingfordChrisS) reported

    @steve_race You're right. I'll cancel them both and just watch all the free-to-air channels on Freeview. That won't be a problem, will it? Wait, what do you mean, the BBC will come after me with legal action, what will Netflix do? Oh, just turn Netflix off.

  • ChrisTheDJ
    Chris Merriman (@ChrisTheDJ) reported

    It's been nearly two years now and @LGUKCare still haven't fixed the problem with hybrid streaming channels (225-256). It previously claimed that it was the format of the channels, but Freeview has confirmed they are all in HBB now, yet they still come up as "Invalid Service" 1/2
