    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

  • 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

  • maggieinlondon Maggie - wear a mask 💙🏳️‍🌈🌱 (@maggieinlondon) reported from Wandsworth, England

    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.

  • PlexNetflix Martin Phillp 🔶 (@PlexNetflix) reported from Camberwell, England

    My broadband has gone down, so stuck watching QVC on Freeview.

  • daguvernor tommy harper (@daguvernor) reported from Wandsworth, England

  • flowergirl_lon Sam (Flower Girl) Jennings (@flowergirl_lon) reported from Croydon, England

    @GeorgeBollands @gemoore83 @BBCSport Ok… I have Now tv so don’t think I can get that but I’ll have a look. My regular freeview is crap as I don’t have an aerial, only have internet streamed TV.

  • Tommy_M_E_J Tom Jordan (@Tommy_M_E_J) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @njvns That’s so shit. It’s literally called freeview and yet it’s not free

  • Dante_Banks Danté Banks (@Dante_Banks) reported from Tottenham, England

    @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.

  • Obi1_Shinobi 𝐍Ⓘℕ𝓳ค (@Obi1_Shinobi) reported

    @Alichat66 @TheBembridge Nothing on freeview/freesat or don't you have that? I'm just going to use catch up service as I refuse to pay for BBC rubbish

  • tran_d87 David Tran (@tran_d87) reported

    @bt_uk Freeview weren’t able to sort out my problem. They are asking if there is a way of manually retuning rather than automatically retuning the channels? Is there a way to do this?

  • CEEGEE12 Carole Geddes (@CEEGEE12) reported

    @Oldbird19 We don't have the full service for freeview in my area so can't check with anyone locally

  • eugenespeed2 Barry Wilson (@eugenespeed2) reported

    Can you get battery powered freeview TVs? I don't mean rechargeable batteries, but ones where you stick a few AAs in? I had an analogue one but never seen a digital version. I'm not getting much luck with Google. All I'm finding is plug or rechargable powered.

  • RobDeNormandie Rob (@RobDeNormandie) reported

    @MsResJudicata @PlainVa86760081 @getyourgoals16 Projectors are brilliant, under the coffee table with the freeview box or whatever source you use, run an audio lead to your HI fi and project on to any plain painted wall. The one issue is the leads across the carpet, the upside is a huge screen, and when it's off its invisible.

  • briavelsjon Jon Pitts (@briavelsjon) reported

    @softwarescotty Fair enough, but your underlying issue is Freeview reception in that case!

  • Crocidolite11 Crocidolite (@Crocidolite11) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Yep will be doing. Just noticed you’ve also put up my bill to over £100 now without any notice. I’ll contact to cancel you can come collect your equipment and I’ll go freeview. Absolutely shocking prices.

  • SuffolkRoyal SuffolkRoyal (@SuffolkRoyal) reported

    @WinterfellT Whatever anyone’s views of the bbc, no one should have to pay the corporation a compulsory tax for the right to watch live tv, especially live tv on non bbc channels. It’s time for the bbc to become either a commercial freeview, or subscription, service.

  • terencegarner terence garner (@terencegarner) reported

    @GBNEWS @afneil I can't get Freeview only Sky and I've never heard of YouView.
