    @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.

  • Hamishmczzz Margot (Maddie & Hamish, dogs, sadly 🌈) 🇬🇧 (@Hamishmczzz) reported

    @MartinSLewis @itvMLshow Could you help long standing customers get better treated? I've stayed with my broadband cable service since 1997 and am now paying £94 per month at 80 to virginmedia. I don't want to change as I can't get Freeview here and they are still better than the opposition for repairs.

    I see @smithsonian channel which my 88-year-old mum loves, has gone from Freeview and the programmes are now only on paid-for streaming services which her poor eyesight means she can't use. So thanks for that.

    @SamsungTV @SamsungUK Our 2yr old Samsung Frame tv has suddenly gone wrong & we can’t get terrestrial freeview channels on it. It won’t show sky either. All it doesis show useless rakuten channels which we don’t want. Tell me how to fix this before I give up & buy a Panasonic.

  • DougMcfarlane59 Douglas Mcfarlane (@DougMcfarlane59) reported

    @WilliamNB @tvlicensing We had loads of them letters when we lost our regional TV transmitter and every single person with just Freeview service cancelled their direct debits. It was over a million households for Teesside and little further away. They then targeted OAP's with letters 1/2

    Horrible luck, tomorrow's showing of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) starring Hayden Christensen as Roger Rabbit has been cancelled due to Professor Dumbledore shitting on all the cats he could find. #freeview

  • UKTVPlayHelp UKTV Play Help (@UKTVPlayHelp) reported

    @FO2D_ All right, can you come back to us if you still see the issue tomorrow after lunch? It looks like freeview servers (where you get the ads from) did have some issue today so it could explain why you got few issues.
