    @talkSPORT @Sjopinion10 That's a bad idea. Sky have rights to other sports too, so a netflix football service would be yet another thing to pay for if you like multiple sports. More football needs to be on freeview channels like BBC and ITV.

    @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.

    Time for the BBC to close down the BBCNews channel as they always seem to put it on BBC1 at same time WHY as BBCNews is available on sky freesat and freeview you dont need it on BBC1

    @jonnyt78 Not at all. Was supposed to be awful except from some certain sections of the media. Some of the games were of freeview over here as well, I didn’t have a clue

    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.

    @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

    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.

    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?

    @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?

    @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

    @BBCiPlayerForum I don’t understand why iPlayer has stopped using a grid channel and programme finder for everything that is showing on all the iPlayer channels? It’s a huge omission, makes no sense… I have to use the Freeview app on my phone to see what’s on. BBC pl fix!!

    @Chris29Cunningh Are you watching it on freeview?. Yeah it’s bad, but ok on sky or the app.

    @karlbeeby @Vlad42250421 @SueSaffa If that's what this dictatorship wants to do, then let's go for a subscription/lo advertising mix, ditch the regional & BBC World functions, slim down a bit, gain real independence, less Interence & Gov can deal with Freeview & pensioners subscriptions. BBC still a global brand.

  • ChristchrchMick
    Michael Dowling (@ChristchrchMick) reported

    @smurfing66 I believe that is the case, although the actual Freeview channel depends on which transmitter you get your TV signal from. The other thing is that Radio Solent broadcasts different matches on different frequencies / Freeview channels (Cherries, Saints, Pompey and Eastleigh)

    @PaulLittler4 I've paused it a couple of times but I'm only on the Freeview SD version so it's not that clear. Maybe one day when there's a Blu-Ray re-issue :)

    Pip (@pipmadeley) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Thanks but I've already tried that direct on the Freeview website. Says it's available in my area but clearly isn't. I also lost BBC Four HD and BBC News HD a couple of months ago. Aerial strength is 100% for other channels so no problems there. Pity.

  • effcee1969
    Fiorenzo Cecere 🇮🇹 (@effcee1969) reported

    Can anyone help, please? I'm tempted to switch to BT TV which includes Freeview (with all terrestrial channels). Before I place an order, I'd need to check whether these terrestrial channels (and any other channels) provide subtitles via BT TV. Thanks! #BT #subtitles
