    @Aisha_mk @FreeviewAdvice Go into Freeview Play from settings sign in and accept terms and conditions this should solve it

    @GBNEWS @Jacob_Rees_Mogg We have no need for World service, s4c , education programming, local radio, support for Freeview/sat infrastructure, free TV for over 75s, etc , etc ?? Plus it's public not state

    .@FreeviewTV phew, the new weather patterns of rain that lasts for days. And the awful #Freeview TV, where you search for something to watch and find nothing. And oh the adverts that go on and on and on...

  • JCKB4_ JCKB$ (@JCKB4_) reported

    @acrobat1977 @SkyArts Does it work for you? Sky Arts on Freeview is not working for me!

  • 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.

    @Cyanosis1966 @BATC_London @DPJHodges 1) How do you (technically) have a subscription service that doesn’t require a set top box/internet connectivity? 18m people use Freeview, & 1.8m households have no internet access 3) If you need to pay £20/month to Sky/Virgin to access it, it is more expensive than a licence fee

  • StBeany StBeany (@StBeany) reported

    @bt_uk The other problem is that your channel numbering does not tally with any TV listings, not even with Freeview?

  • jonwensley Jon Wensley (@jonwensley) reported

    @SteveLJenkins @GBNEWS And they forget the contribution to the broadband rollout, the subsidising of Freeview and Fresat, and the World Service that provides so much soft power abroad.
