    @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.

  • groovicat groovicat 💚 (@groovicat) reported from Adlington, England

    @Sillyshib Heartbeat, ssshhh, it's never been off. You can watch Heartbeat every day on freeview

    @rlwjones @Nick_Metcalfe @MarkyBunny They made one champions League game per round free to air..usually the crap games though..they used to have a channel on Freeview..

  • m7leicauser Andy Barton (@m7leicauser) reported from Comberbach, England

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

  • CatSlaveUK Slave2Cats 🇺🇦🇪🇺 (@CatSlaveUK) reported from Runcorn, England

  • annmurphy_wigan Ann Murphy (@annmurphy_wigan) reported from Wigan, England

    @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...😳

  • Jonny60009 My Granddad Drove Flying Scotsman (@Jonny60009) reported

    Shoutout to all the Freeview kids who didn’t have channels like Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon and Jetix growing up.

  • JackMars85 BatZie 🇮🇪 (@JackMars85) reported

    @Nicky_Harrison_ @GBNEWS I know. Wonder if no support for my phone (s6). A real shame as every other news outlet app seems to work. Really wanted to watch GBNews online, especially as I refuse to pay BBC licence fee and thus have no Freeview/Sky/etc TV service.

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie (@Brekkietweets) reported

    Just a real shame that @BBCRedButton is only in SD on Freeview as the picture quality is very poor - poorer than usual IMO. They could easily have provided live coverage in HD by cutting the hours of @CBBC HD for the fortnight.

  • HoraceOflaherty Hoggo (@HoraceOflaherty) reported

    Man v. Food Adam Richman Food Network Channel 42 Freeview

  • chriswalkerb 🦝chris🦝 (@chriswalkerb) reported

    @dez_bond A freeview recorder haha! The main issue is getting her to understand which source the tv is on 👵🏼🥺

  • Amanda45887585 Amanda (@Amanda45887585) reported

    @DisorderAwesome Only have freeview I think. Don’t pay for any service

  • blades4ever michelle gilbey x (@blades4ever) reported

    @bt_uk The issue is the internet, but also means I can’t watch tv only freeview channels

  • jayaumes Jay Aumes (@jayaumes) reported

    @NickBuckleyMBE @DefundBBC Totally agree. I've been saying this for years. Unlike other people who suggest turning it into a subscription service, I say just force them to show commercials instead like all the other channels on Freeview.

  • xdddreaded Aiden (@xdddreaded) reported

    When will we be getting camera/freeview options in @PlayApex? I wanna be able to get some cool aerial shots for some graphics n' ****, and rn timing your inspect animation with taking a delayed screenshot, not to mention at max settings, is just a pain in the anushole. I need!

  • Zaack23 What good are notebooks? (@Zaack23) reported
