    @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.

    @BootstrapCook I did this for my mum after she had a falling out with all the cable/phone companies. Had to get a booster areal but got all the freeview channels and just went weird and pixelated in very bad weather!

  • SimonWood2k5 Simon Wood (@SimonWood2k5) reported

    @PhilJonesy3 @MetroUK It's SD on Freeview which doesn't help but not at all good even for SD.

    @BootstrapCook I have a traditional aerial in the loft which runs down to a socket in the lounge, which works for Freeview. Upstairs I have an electrical aerial amplifier for the same.

  • nisbetbryce Nisbet Bryce (@nisbetbryce) reported

    @BootstrapCook Sometimes. The cabling should work fine so long as the box and your TV have an HDMI port. Problem might be whether the Freeview signal in your area is strong enough to be picked up by a small aerial.

    If betting on the #WorldSnookerChampionship be aware that Freeview is several seconds faster than satellite with on line in a poor third place. Best place to bet the foyer of The Crucible or even in the auditorium! #snooker

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie 🇺🇦 (@Brekkietweets) reported

    @putthetellyon And on top of that HD channels are actually closing down on Freeview. The picture quality of low bit-rate SD channels is increasingly an issue in a world where people have bigger TV and HD streaming services as the norm.

  • badmachinery John Allison 🕴 (@badmachinery) reported

    @joelist This is very interesting. PBS have a UK Freeview channel so you'd think they could just show it there if they really wanted to, but they don't (and never have) owned the rights. I read that a lot of Sesame Street's income was from DVDs, and that has now vanished.

    @RossMcCaff If internationals can’t be ring-fenced for freeview, surely to **** it can at least be required to be shown on actual television instead of some shite streaming thing.

    @LeapfrogMark @TalkTV @iancollinsuk Most of the BBC is not suitable for a subs service, for example, no UK news programme is subscription only (even sky is on freeview) and technically it is not possible for radio stations. An advertising and sponsorship is more realistic but other media outlets will not like it
