@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.

Freeview is having regular issues with interference on BBC channels where the picture breaks up, meaning the TV needs regular retuning. Why is there this issue? @FreeviewAdvice @bbcpress @Ofcom

@skytv we have been with you for 20 years, yet still can’t seem to get the service. Perhaps it’s time for a new change by just sticking with Netflix/BBC and Freeview? Not surprised that these streaming services will send your business right in to the ground 👎🏻

@Ramtronik Older TVs simply ignore them as they don’t support DVB-T2, not even adding the channels to main channel list. For example, an old Freeview TV will not add BBC One HD on channel 101 or U&Eden on channel 57. That’s not the case with this latest change, which uses DVB-T1 for the
