    @TalkingPicsTV Definitely. We struggle getting Freeview and as you’re not on BT TV I’m missing my fix!

  • annmurphy_wigan Ann Murphy (@annmurphy_wigan) reported from Wigan, England

    @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

  • AndyMcK1982 Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @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.

  • groovicat groovicat 💚 (@groovicat) reported from Adlington, England

    @Sillyshib Heartbeat, ssshhh, it's never been off. You can watch Heartbeat every day on freeview

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital What's needed however is to change the technology used and support a better system, such as DVB T2. I don,t see streaming as a threat to freeview or freesat for that matter. As , the title says it's free. Streaming is all paid for. Just ask my neighbours!.

  • orkitecht85 sparky t k o (@orkitecht85) reported

    Today’s first world problem: switching to the I-Player for the Hundred match because the picture for BBC2 is a bit fuzzy on Freeview, and being a bit sulky that it’s about 30 seconds delayed.

  • m0rjc Richard Corfield 🧗📷⚜️⛺ {🏃‍♂️🧭} 🎭 (@m0rjc) reported

    @rdavies6 @Golf_5_TM I don't think many noticed the Freeview failure here. My kids found out when they couldn't get their YouTube fix with the WiFi off.

  • NFGmart martyn notman (@NFGmart) reported

    @alanplynch Apparently its a freeview issue here!

  • StevenNT Steven Jones (@StevenNT) reported

    @Mark56623345 @a516digital I'm currently a Sky Q customer as it's what I have at my new build apartment, Freeview and Freesat don't quite fit my uses but for as a basic level it's not too bad and fall back to Freeview when very severe rain hiders reception

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital He then changed it to vertical. Came back down, said that's £240 payable to freeview, he would be back in the morning as there were other jobs.

  • Phoenixknight69 Phoenix_S66 (@Phoenixknight69) reported

    At the studio Nervous as ****. I'll be on the Web to start.... 10pm.... freeview 12-2am and sky 3am-5am. Come and support me on my first night. 😬😬😬😬 @TeamS66 @S66Cams @Spacka_

  • DBuick22 David Buick (@DBuick22) reported

    @aj__lmao It being a Friday night and on freeview TV doesn’t help either, but it’s definitely largely down to the mood following the last 3 games.

  • joejglenton The Great Keithulhu (@joejglenton) reported

    'Serving the colours' chat belongs with guff about the 'Queen's shilling': consigned to **** period drama. Meaningless waffle. If you talked like that in the Mob, you'd be laughed at. The market for that tripe is Walter Mitty civilians with a cockstand for WW2 docs on Freeview.

  • WatsonJKnights Watson J.Knights (@WatsonJKnights) reported

    @MsAmiiEvlynB @FreeviewAdvice @FreeviewTV Mine went like this a few months ago. I contacted freeview they told me lots of things 2 try none worked. Was at home after a week of no freeview looked down & thought what if I disconnect signal booster maybe that will make a difference..it did. If you have booster disconnect it
