@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.

@FreeviewTV Thanks to Dan at Freeview, the aerial-out retune x2 seems to have cured the problem. 👍

@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...😳

If your Freeview channels have gone off in Yorkshire/North East.....North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue along with crews from Cleveland Fire Brigade are in attendance at a fire involving Bilsdale Mast which provides the TV signal for the region

It may take years, but the truth will be known

@melissaztweets @ITV @AEW I actually understand why it was on ITV4 - in the age of freeview (I can remember TNA beating WWE in the UK as TNA was on Challenge) - but yeah, the inconsistency about the ITV4 airing, and the lie about ITV Hub being a Thursday thing has screwed AEW bad

@tompeck I'd sooner pay the licence fee than the rip off subscriptions of both Virgin and Sky It's amazing how a huge % of the defund the BBC brigade have no problem subscribing to TV and Broadband packages that charge you to send down freeview channels and charge you a phone line rental

Thought o would tune in to GBNews to see for myself how awful it really is. Couldn’t find the channel on Freeview. Does it exist?

@bt_uk No issues with Freeview at all (ie watching through the TV using the external aerial and built in Freeview). As soon as we switch to BT box, picture pixelates. Does this answer your Q’s?!

Due to a fire at the Bilsdale transmitter, our local North Yorkshire DAB multiplex will have reduced coverage. The incident has affected all services from the transmitter including Freeview, local FM and national/local DAB.

@Mark56623345 @a516digital Bilsdale is a primary mast serving North Yorks, Teesside, Co. Durham and some of Tyne & Wear. Unless you can redirect your aerial and get a signal from Emley Moor or Pontop you’re stuffed for Freeview.
