    @jaxlfc_jj @YaTerrynorris70 It’s not restricted to the BBC. If you watch or record live TV on any channel - either through your TV or through a website - then you need a TV licence. This applies whether you receive Freesat, Freeview or a pay-TV service in your home, & whether or not you watch BBC channels.

    @AlanJohnson1959 @LeeHurstComic Its awful. I only watch the food network on freeview, other than i only use prime for shows/movies as living in a rural place it saves me a fortune on fuel for deliveries

  • adebradley Adrian Bradley (@adebradley) reported

    Is it possible that BBC have a better/stronger freeview signal than ITV HD?

  • Rachel44432944 Racquel (@Rachel44432944) reported

    @FreeviewTV My freeview has never worked

  • 4mulawun 4mulaHammer (@4mulawun) reported

    @micronautsFan @NoContextBrits To be fair up until about 20 years ago (roughly) we had 5 whole channels haha. When satellite TV came in then Freeview as I am sure you know, it all changed but we never had the US style 200+ cable channels until quite late on.

  • alanbritton Alan Britton PG Dip (@alanbritton) reported

    @PBSAmerica just watching @DrJaninaRamirez on the Freeview play catch up service. I have noticed however, that the commercials are all in the wrong places, halfway through a sentence and on a couple of occasions halfway through a word. Any chance of looking at this? Thanks.

  • robertredfern75 The Northerner Who Loved Me (@robertredfern75) reported

    @SoVeryBritish Always having their home Freeview signal breaking up.

  • FreeviewTV Freeview (@FreeviewTV) reported

  • southnuk Natasha South (@southnuk) reported

    @SamsungUK I have a UE437U7020KXXU LCD and approx. 6 months ago Samsung TV Plus automatically installed and removed my Freeview channels. I managed to get rid of the channel but it keeps coming back like a bad smell every time I auto retune.
