  • 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.

    @Will68796790 I have for many years paid through Xbox as I am a carer for my Mother who watches freeview channels on the other TV I use my Xbox one to view BT Sports, and I would not risk using link's as they are unstable not on Xbox

  • Mike2677024465 Mike_in_Yorkshire (@Mike2677024465) reported

    @argentstwarrio1 @Jessrocks71 @GBNEWS No freeview signal where I am, hoping it will be on sky/freesat soon.

  • BarrieDarke Barrie Darke (@BarrieDarke) reported

    @gordon_dudgeon @profsked @edglasgow59 I read you can delete the BBC from your Freeview by having a piss down the back of your TV. Haven't tried it myself, but let me know how you get on.

  • Wendy_redRobin Wendy redRobin (@Wendy_redRobin) reported

    Any problems reported with BBC West transmissions to Gloucestershire? Ever since the thunderstorm this afternoon have no signal for BBC West from Mendip transmitter other Freeview channels from Ridge Hill transmitter are fine @FreeviewAdvice

  • Ninjafairy2 Wendy-Jane #3569 #ActuallyAutistic #FBIW #FBPE (@Ninjafairy2) reported

    @SpudFromDublin @Hookademus @MattAndo63 Sorry to jump in ... but our BT box is connected to our rooftop aerial. My older freeview tv in other room is too for freeview channels (& only 21 tv channels at that) . Signal goes down quite often. No dish. No cable.

  • ringo_rabbit Lisa Woods (@ringo_rabbit) reported

    @March_Hare2 @EnglishFolkfan Oh dear,only most,not all?! We never used it much because we recorded things which clashed but our Youview box packed up a few weeks ago,so we only have Freeview through the aerial and can't record at the moment.

  • robinjuste Robin Juste Emery (@robinjuste) reported

    @jameswaters I still use one of those to spit the output of our antenna to two rooms. Thankfully we have a strong enough signal from Bluebell Hill to maintain a stable Freeview signal.

  • HarryPie1862 HarryPie. 🤔 🥀😷 (@HarryPie1862) reported

    All broadcasters are bought, especially the state-owned & Tory party controlled BBC. But when billion pound missiles are directed at bringing down a broadcaster's HQ, your can bet your bottom dollar that broadcaster is less corrupted than others. Al Jazeera news Freeview 235
