@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.

@stevieboywise If that’s Freeview maybe due to high pressure issue again.

@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

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.

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.

@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

@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.

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?

Ministers are now using slow ultrafibre broadband rollout as reason to keep the licence fee until 2038! Rubbish! Without the live TV tax people could watch freeview. Meanwhile, it's on the rest of us to switch to on-demand and #DefundTheBBC by legally cancelling our TV licences.

Freeview channel 53 crashed the smart tv. Google said unplug, and then said reflow the motherboard in oven 🔥. Managed to solve it by pressing lots of buttons all at once whilst holding down the power button onto AV menu🍺

@destryagain I think I’ll cancel it once and for all. Keep the rubbish broadband but cancel all our channels and stick to freeview. They’ve always lured me in with discounts but sneak in double charges later down the line.

@ruzzfeed @back_the_BBC Not such a chasm as it appears. The government wants to run down the Freeview system and prioritise streaming, with help from the BBC & ITV, but current broadband can't cope with 10 million people watching an England World Cup match at the same time.

@talkRADIO @calvinrobinson @PatrickChristys As I understand it, the argument is that because of poor broadband the BBC can’t move to a Netflix like service at this time. But it could be a subscription platform on Freeview - they already exist. It doesn’t need to be on broadband to be a subscription service.
