    @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.

    @Cuppa378 It’s free because they’re contractually obligated to provide it for freeview. As they were happy to show the EL final in full resolution on YouTube 3 days back, not doing the same for the CL as the more important competition is pathetic.

    Is Freeview down? #freeview #OutageUpdate #tvoutage

    @FreeviewTV any sign of a Freeview streaming stick? Would make so much sense for poor signal areas or houses with thick walls!

    @AllsGood6 @DefundBBC I am just trying freeview again for first time in ages at my mums. It's absolute insulting crap. My decision to cancel the licence was the correct one

    @falcor1970 Hi Nigel, I am sorry to hear that you have issues with your Freeview reception. Can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number so we can look into this for you? Thanks, Dylan.

    @BoundForCFC @BlueTintedNick It's seemingly on the BT Sport website (I'm not a customer of theirs but am still watching it) but not on freeview/freesat TV

    @knottybarnet I've only got Netflix and that keeps going up in price, and I never even watch it. Tbh I'm quite happy with just my freeview channels

    @gregorybelton @BiscuitHalf @Reachingbroom The BBC licence fee supports the Freeview platform - no BBC and Channel 4 (the commercial side of public service broadcasting) - no Freeview. :There's no such thing as a free lunch'.

  • chey_cobb
    CyberSec Chey (@chey_cobb) reported

    @VickerySec Here we have a pretty decent digital antennae service called Freeview. We're required to pay an annual fee for a TV license but, if you don't pay, you can still use your TV. Cost varies, but it ranges from £0-£150. They do use scanning equipment to detect unregistered TVs.

    @mickmcfc1 I'll never know. I've pulled the cable out. BBC Parliament on freeview only from now on. They talk absolute bollocks but rarely about football. I'm in!
