    @bowlestrek Get your facts straight. Johnson is not in favour of ditching the license fee, as he knows it’s a massive vote loser. Plus they’ve now realised, they can’t go to subscription fee system, as the freeview boxes that the majority of UK households use, don’t support it.

    @LuckyCedarlane @BBCAMERICA @ITV @itv2 @Channel4 @channel5_tv C5 is awful. All this is freeview too!

    @Alexand85266011 @femme_uk @GBNEWS Freeview isn't very reliable for me either. I'm only 10 miles [as the crow flies] from the South Yorkshire Transmitter, yet I can only receive 6 of the 15 HD channels available. BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, Channel 4, Channel 5 and CBBC. The signal quality/strength is on average 80%.

    @ColinSkinner17 @Dinosaur1177 @MartinDaubney The BBC is a pay TV station so like other pay TV stations they shouldn't be on Freeview and their signal should be scrambled on other platforms. If people without a license good on them

  • 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.

  • EvelynS51868235 Evelyn Smith (@EvelynS51868235) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Have been having trouble with my freeview since 8th March 2023. Before that the reception on all channels was perfect. Suddenly the picture is cracking up and going slow. It is not very bad but it is not as perfect as it was. The sound is a bit affected too.

    @o_sheilagh @albundysdad No one is forcing you to cancel your sky, Freeview etc. Just watch on demand.

    @RyanMcM89 @hothorrorqueen It's been on mine for ages too but I haven't tracked it down as a Freeview yet.
