  • 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...😳

  • quodignoratum Myles Winstone (@quodignoratum) reported from Warrington, England

  • 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.

  • Toffeewolfie Philip whitehurst (@Toffeewolfie) reported from Liverpool, England

    @rlwjones @Nick_Metcalfe @MarkyBunny They made one champions League game per round free to air..usually the crap games though..they used to have a channel on Freeview..

    @AaronBastani @Nigel_Farage Talking **** about Vietnam that don't even bother testing or probably havent heard about COVID as they have no BBC on freeview.

  • steveboswell Bozz (@steveboswell) reported

    @a516digital Oh that's interesting. I wonder why I couldn't get it to work. In any case, services like Ketchup's Freeview-play compatible service seem to be the way forward now.

  • NathanChorley nathan (@NathanChorley) reported

    @BeeBelindaSmith @FreeviewAdvice Hi I've also lost Sony channel on freeview.. Is this a known issue?

  • AdeCarrMusic Ade Carr (@AdeCarrMusic) reported

    @MrSugden2 Netflix, freeview just shockingly crap.

  • suzfirst Su💤 (@suzfirst) reported

    @janeagallagher I have my bb from Sky, I like it, no problems. I do have sky tv package but you don’t need to and you can just use the freeview (or whatever apps on your smart telly.

  • McsheenMartin martin mcsheen (@McsheenMartin) reported

    We live in a digital age. I can find three hundred and twelvety channels of **** on the most basic freeview TV. How on earth could we get lessons to pupils en masse ?

  • FanaticRealist Mark S Maquisard 🇪🇺🔶 #LiberalLeftyDoGooder (@FanaticRealist) reported

    @RejoinersRus @joncstone @peterjukes If they were only streaming over the net as an OTT service, they wouldn't. But if they're using broadcast over DAB or Freeview/Freesat, they would.

  • DanielCreminUK Daniel Cremin ✂️ (@DanielCreminUK) reported

    @mistylou43 News UK TV is said to be an evening time only service. My understanding is it will be on Freeview, Sky, Virgin and YouTube, etc. Free to air, but advertising based. GB News will be either 18 or 24 hours and will similarly be cross platform. Real choice is coming.

  • mwalkerdine Martin Walkerdine (@mwalkerdine) reported

    @FreeviewTV How come call freeview channels are down for the Leicester area

  • alistairsmith77 Alistair Smith (@alistairsmith77) reported

    @smashingpaps @flanders1914 The comparison would be with the TV signal, not the TV itself. I doubt there's any TV sold nowadays that doesn't have a freeview receiver built in. Likewise the free broadband would provide the 'signal', the equipment for utilising it would be separate - be it a phone, laptop, tv
