@TalkingPicsTV Definitely. We struggle getting Freeview and as you’re not on BT TV I’m missing my fix!

@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.

Virgin tv and broadband gone down yet again. Resorting to Freeview right now. The picture quality is actually much better than Virgin...AND no glitches and constant picture breakup!!

@BBCNews Oh poor thing diddums! When I was 20 you didn't have "Freeview" or a single channel to watch for nothing. And you went out when you could afford it. That encouraged you to work to better yourself. Zero sympathy.

@JenBartram I came across an old episode of LOOK NORTH on my Freeview box the other day from 2020. I kept it because it had you doing a video diary of cutting down on waste. It was a bit like me when I vlog.

@tarasutherland @felicitykate @rosered_nz My TV has a Freeview tuner built in. I had the antenna guy come and take the antenna down because birds we’re using it to **** on my deck. I can stream live TV from the TVNZ and Three apps on Apple TV if I want to subject myself to that.

@danmooreradio @a516digital On Freeview bandwidth is an issue. But also still a fair number of SD only boxes out there.

@robin_parkes oh yeah I bet that was annoying, we've never had that problem here on all the tvs and boxes you get to pick what channels go at which numbers. Before ITV HD was at 3 it had adverts for kent and the wrong local news which is why they couldn't put it at 3. Still happens on Freeview

@fliceverett My first TV was a cast off of my Grandma which was B&W and for many years had a dodgy tube so that peoples feet appeared above their heads. I bought my second TV ( colour) from Boots in 1984 and only bought my current one because I was having problems with the Freeview box !

@jackieshears2 The Freeview service is not something we have an effect on Jackie as this is not supplied by us. This service is supplied by the TV aerial coming into the property. Have you connected the TV aerial directly to the back of the TV to see if the issues are persisting?

My Youview box has packed up. No major problem, but it was convenient to have all my streaming apps (more or less) in one place with one controller. Am I better off buying an android box or a smart tv with all built in? I have an Amazon stick but no Freeview on it. Thoughts?

Had no Freeview channels whatsoever for 3 hours! I'm fed up with this. Picture and sound has been awful since Thursday. I want a refund on my licence fee!
