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

  • 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.

  • Robbo72uk Andy Roberts (@Robbo72uk) reported from Southport, England

    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!!

    @discoveryplus thank the gods this is subscription only,as i will never ever have to watch any of it on freeview. jesus christ can your bloody adverts too (every 5 mins or less it seems on just about all channels). i will never want to watch any of your programs.

  • _designblogger designblogger (@_designblogger) reported

    @virginmedia The works are conducted, but they never resolve issues. We still use FreeView, 5 days after the storm. The wifi speed is low, and pages keep crushing on laptop and phones.

  • Adjie16077 Claire Menzies (@Adjie16077) reported

    Next year I’m going to refuse to pay my TV licence until the government do something about our TV & the BBC as a corporation not as channels because they’re just as bad. I am fed up with watching the same program is repeated on different channels through Freeview & no subtitles

  • MisterBelly2u David Bell 🐝 🇾🇪🏍️🔭🏌️‍♂️💙 (@MisterBelly2u) reported

    @XSManchester Attempted to fix a Freeview aerial in the loft some years ago. Starting sneezing with all the dust, slipped off the joists and came crashing thru the spare bedroom ceiling. Straight out of a comedy film .... Carry On Belly. 🙄

    @alan_jones They filled hours with Sky Travel Shop. Their main competitor on Freeview was TV Travel Shop. Of course, it was called DTT back then as Freeview only launched in the October. So many new channels arrived, although signal wasn't great.

    Movie Pick of the Day (UK Freeview) Nightbreed (1990) Dir. Clive Barker Horror Channel - 22:55 I despised Nightbreed when it was released, but only because of how much of an utter **** Craig Sheffer was in Some Kind of Wonderful, three years previous. I hold grudges.

  • cash4questions2 Mingymoo (@cash4questions2) reported

    @ukJ0N @snicklin1 @GBNEWS I read late June a while ago. The test signal is up....Channel 236 on Freeview.

  • SuzanneRobins1 Suzanne Robins (@SuzanneRobins1) reported

    @philquin Looks like Freeview isn't available to me, though. They don't do an app for the Apple TV decoder (which is what I use with what is now described as an "older" smart TV). Well, that sucks!

  • trevorlong Trevor Long (@trevorlong) reported

    @JamesCridland @EFTM No mate, because you're the only one on the planet who cares:))) sorry... cross carry of EPG was an issue when i was at SBS - industry doesn't care, put too much effort into Freeview+ instead of the basic EPG - I hear ya... but, I'd be sticking with fetch:)

  • mrssheardy Sarah Sheard (@mrssheardy) reported

    @plusnethelp the remote I have for the freeview plus box doesn’t work even after changing batteries, are you able to help with this please?
