    @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.

  • 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

    @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

  • XtopherCalvert Christmas Calvert (he/him) (@XtopherCalvert) reported from Poplar, England

    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?

  • fishinthedark1 fishinthedark (@fishinthedark1) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @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.

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

  • AStrangerJ A.j. Stranger #UTAG (@AStrangerJ) reported from Bromley, England

    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.

  • MarkAPD43 Mark (@MarkAPD43) reported

    @SamuelJJack2 Food Network is the only decent channel on Freeview, what happened to Diners, Drive-ins and Dives?

  • DJLujoso DJ Lujoso (@DJLujoso) reported

    I've seen no news about any protest In any part of the UK by any of the mainstream 'news' providers on Freeview. There's a lot of the usual gun-totin' **** from the USA, **** knows why we have to watch that, the usual corporate sport garbage - we know why we have to watch that...

  • NationalTheatre National Theatre (@NationalTheatre) reported

    @lornadupre If you're in the UK, Sky Arts is a free channel and you don't need to be a Sky customer! It's Channel 11 on Freeview. The film is being repeated on Easter Monday at 9.30pm and Thursday 8 April at 10pm.

  • weedgies Framob (@weedgies) reported

    @PaulbernalUK Ask who funds it,my last check was 11 EU nations,US & Canada as well as UK if stupid enough to buy subscription that is free bc they have a license, so on Freeview,

  • glennr77 Glenn (@glennr77) reported

    @virginmedia Well, status page now says error is acknowledged and we'll have no service until 1:30am - which considering we can't get Freeview means it's a boring evening here 😔

  • andybrown300 Andy Brown (@andybrown300) reported

    @brianmoore666 Quality of the red button feed on Freeview is very poor. Like watching through the bottom of a beer glass ...

  • louisesarahh Louise Sarah (@louisesarahh) reported

    @ebdxo Do you have access to it? If you don’t have access to satellite TV, you don’t need a license. But if you have freeview or anything where you could watch the BBC then you still need it. It’s ****, I barely ever watch BBC 🙄

  • VoiceBritannia Broke Britannia (aka Voice Britannia) (@VoiceBritannia) reported

    You know what, #Wrestling is all over UK TV (freeview/FreeSat) but it's advertised terribly! Looking on the EPG today I found WWE NXT UK is on Paramount Network (Thurs), Impact Wrestling on 5star (sat) and PWC on Sports stuff TV (?). There used to be a lot more! #KeepLooking

  • Spezzington LifeIsDifficultEnough (@Spezzington) reported

    @AvonandsomerRob Sky is expensive and bb slow as crap. Go with freeview / netflix / prime / youtube for price of tv licence.

  • GurrAnthony anthony gurr (@GurrAnthony) reported
