    @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...😳

    @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.

    @kategarraway @skytv Poor Kate No doubt Xmas day her kids will have plenty of presents and food but back in the real world there are kids who will get no presents and be lucky to have a proper meal Oh your tv will have free to air freeview channels you could always watch them

    @RyanDrinkwater2 If the TV upstairs is receiving Freeview OK and is running off the same aerial, then it is likely the cabling/connections or splitter. Try a different coaxial cable, or try tuning in the working TV in on this room to see if the issue persists. Thanks.

    I'm not a materialistic person. Got my cream liqueur, got Devil Wears Prada on Freeview (why pay for TV when it's free?!) a roof over my head and the heating on. That is far far greater than many have or will have. Will never understand folks who need the best of the best.

    @GreenT128 @BBCOne Sorry, I forgot to add: I know exactly what you mean about the weird and stupid settings on TVs. Out of the box my TV had all the picture and sound 'enhancing' crap turned on, 10 minutes later it was all off and even low quality SD Freeview looked perfectly acceptable.

    FREEVIEW : My oh my, what a load of utter garbage is prevalent on freeview now, the number of repeats is totally unacceptable and the commercial breaks are getting longer and longer, as long as 20 MINUTES would you believe, and as for the shopping channels, too much junk

  • Josh_HW
    Josh Wright (@Josh_HW) reported

    @jackh1092 Because mine is via freeview/online, and not via Sky/virgin etc, and the free view channel will be no more from 26th, so firestick (lite, not the full one) is only way to watch it. I haven't plugged it in yet, never had one. Just another way to stream i assume.

    @safewordthe2nd If you don't agree with bbc persian stance you are within your rights to stop paying TV licence (If you're in UK). As long as you don't watch LIVE TV through freeview or use BBC Iplayer you can #DefundTheBBC. You are not breaking the law. Cancel your licence.

    @NigelBig @back_the_BBC @bbcemt weather forecast never mentioned the 'East' so assume a **** up somewhere - this just on satellite or affecting freeview too?

    @FreeviewTV Why does Freeview say there are no problems with either Sandy Heath or Belmont transmitter when the whole of my local neighbourhood has no signal reception at all?
