    @james_blue_cat Can't afford any streaming service or the hardware upgrade to accommodate one. Freeview and iPlayer is enough. Didn't switch telly on Xmas day and Bob and Paul going fishing was my highlight.

  • m7leicauser Andy Barton (@m7leicauser) reported from Comberbach, England

    @FreeviewTV Thanks to Dan at Freeview, the aerial-out retune x2 seems to have cured the problem. 👍

  • minxsterev helen kirk (@minxsterev) reported from Crewe, England

    @curryspcworld Just been into your Crewe store looking for a freeview box. 5 staff members fiddling with displays, me the only customer. Not one member of staff came to see if I needed help. Going elsewhere as you obvs don't need my custom.

    Main transmitters (FM/DAB/freeview) etc will most likely have backups but I remember in the big storm of 1987 that wasn’t a huge help, only one AM station (BBC local) managed to remain on air. Worth having some batteries for your radio next to your torch. /7

  • skierlisa Lisa (@skierlisa) reported

    @TimoBorg13 Very upset as my WiFi is rubbish so I only got 2 mins and it froze on third attempt I have up, could it of been Alex's Buckinghamshire broadband adding to my rubbish area, to give you an idea how bad I have never seen Dave not even on Freeview

  • actiontiff John F Austin GCE "Eng Lang. 0 level" A* (@actiontiff) reported from Penrhyn Bay, Wales

    @Ultragrumpy No, 'fraid not UG I watch little else but Smithsonian or PBS on Freeview Box sets of old comedy series & Youtube Play the odd game of Croquet though ---if that's any help

  • L1sa130466 Lisa (@L1sa130466) reported

    @bt_uk our BT Box is not working according to Freeview from your trouble shoot section. Our broadband quality is poor also. Been like this for 4 weeks. I can't get through on phone. Can I cancel my contract with you

  • scrapchallenge1 Kirsty ♿️👩‍🦼 (@scrapchallenge1) reported

    @car_kuryakin @SkreeBat Nope we couldn’t. It SAID “full access” and never once mentioned limited access or not being able to see any more than freeview

  • artman146 David Carvell (@artman146) reported

    @PeteEva06681310 @Matthew78840327 If you watch or record TV on any channel via any TV service (e.g. Sky, Virgin, Freeview, Freesat), you need to be covered by a TV Licence. If you watch live streaming services (e.g. ITV Hub, All 4, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Sky Go), or use BBC iPlayer*, you need a TV Licence.

Switched to Smart LG TV ITV HUB app. Better connection but buffering issues. Not happy to have to start watching again and sit through axshed load of ads.

    @MichaelBensonn Not a single boxing fan in the world would want to see this fight, especially as most people have never even heard of Charr. This would have to be shown on freeview to get people watching

  • steveambrose16 steve ambrose (@steveambrose16) reported

    @rickburin London Live and Talking Pictures show London gems every day on freeview. many are b-movies that have never been shown on tv.

  • PunLovinLad Dave K (@PunLovinLad) reported

    Nicola Sturgeon has never yet made the argument that in an independent Scotland they could show live Champions League games on freeview channels like in Ireland.
