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

@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.

@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...😳

@christop_hall @virginmedia Yes. Had Virgin cable TV for a number of years and enjoyed it but costs kept rising. When I reduced services the cost went up! So decided to cancel and just do Freeview. Then the real "leaving problems" began. Nightmare. Never regretted going though and Freeview is fine.

@aitchstone Hi 👋 We upgraded our tech to offer more content and improve our overall app experience. A big part involved updating our content protection to keep our shows copyright-safe. This tech is not supported by some Freeview devices and is no longer compatible to support the ITVX app.

@Dianne1963 @TPTVEncore Hi Dianne, the red button works on TVs that are connected to the internet. If yours is connected to the internet and it still isn't working, please give the Freeview helpline a ring at 03456 505050 and they should be able to advise you further. Thanks for the all the support!

@ItsAndyRyan @MarinaPurkiss @JeremyVineOn5 Never mind the fact how many ppl have Landlines these days.. Thankfully I dumped freeview TV & licemce in 2015. "Wright Stuff" yrs before that. Vine got dumped in 2014 with his "Radio for Dummies" R2 show. Thankfully Ken Bruce has finally left R2..

No freeview signal again. So annoying because we can watch online but you have to know which channel you want to go onto.

@SkyHelpTeam Having trouble with my upstairs Sky box. Sounds coming on but screen is black. Nothing wrong with telly as I can get on Freeview and Netflix etc directly on the TV so it's definitely the Sky box. Any ideas?
