    @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.

    @FreeviewAdvice is Freeview down in Halton ?

  • Crewedaddy Richard Seamon (@Crewedaddy) reported from Crewe, England

    @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.

    We are aware of an issue affecting our FM transmission due to power issues at the transmitter at Eston Nab. We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this and are working to resolve it as soon as possible. DAB and Freeview signals are unaffected.

    @RyanMcM89 @hothorrorqueen It's been on mine for ages too but I haven't tracked it down as a Freeview yet.

    @FABSITEUK Do you watch any TV? 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.

  • CaptainCrash611 Mark Lyons - #VoteAnyoneButLibLabConGreen (@CaptainCrash611) reported

    @ColinSkinner17 @Dinosaur1177 @MartinDaubney The BBC is a pay TV station so like other pay TV stations they shouldn't be on Freeview and their signal should be scrambled on other platforms. If people without a license good on them

  • jonwensley Jon Wensley (@jonwensley) reported

    @Boe12986 @GBNEWS @Jacob_Rees_Mogg If they do, they will have to go on a Sky/Virgin/Set-top box platform. People will then have to pay for the base service (>£20 a month) for what was free to air on Freeview before. 18m people use Freeview.

  • EvelynS51868235 Evelyn Smith (@EvelynS51868235) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Have been having trouble with my freeview since 8th March 2023. Before that the reception on all channels was perfect. Suddenly the picture is cracking up and going slow. It is not very bad but it is not as perfect as it was. The sound is a bit affected too.

  • spacemanfranko Franko (@spacemanfranko) reported

    @TheVikingDane @GayTory You only need a TV License if you watch/record live television on any service (e.g. BBC1/C4/Freeview, Sky,Virgin) or if you use iPlayer. BBCs goons rely on self incrimination so don't ever let them in unless they have a warrant and police/official present.

  • steve44uk Stephen Bouchard (@steve44uk) reported

    @AceGerry @ShimonaGordon You need to be covered by a TV Licence if you watch live on any channel, TV service or streaming service - such as ITVX, All 4, YouTube, Sky, Virgin, BT, Freeview
