  • AndyMcK1982 Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @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...😳

    @StevenBotha9 Hi Steven, Freeview is a service within the UK received through an aerial connection. As previously stated, you may want to look into getting a satellite service, you may be able to receive this from a provider within South Africa. I would advise looking online for more info.

    @RobLinaker Hi Rob, That would be lovely. However, the Freeview mobile app is only available on mobile devices and Freeview Play is only available on Freeview Play TVs and boxes. I'll certainly pass on your interest in the service being added to the Amazon Cube. Thanks C

    Anybody else's smart TV forgotten their sign in details to some Freeview Play channels? I've lost BBC iPlayer, ITV and a couple of others. It's a damned nuisance having to sign in again with that ridiculous keyboard!
