  • 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.

    Shut down freeview...what does that say

  • EnsignCheckov Dean Rowell (@EnsignCheckov) reported

    @janemerrow On Channel 42 on Freeview. b&w Season of 'The Avengers' starring Emma Peel.Some of these episodes I've never seen before. Reflecting the zany spirit of the mid-60s. A ventriloquist dummy that was a little scary? Perhaps some episodes were filtered out before a re-run?

  • GeneHunt81 GeneHunt81 (@GeneHunt81) reported

    Because the board treat us like consumers we should think of the club the same way. As consumers we are paying the price of the full sky package but we're getting the freeview channels. Rodgers is merely the repair man here to fix signal issues. We'll still get freeview once gone

  • AlexEdoh2013 Alexander Edoh (@AlexEdoh2013) reported

    @SydneyCityTV ITV has all of its services exclusively in HD on Satellite (I think, please feel free to correct me on this), Virgin Media, again I'm not sure, also surprised to see that only the main channel (ITV1) is HD on Freeview. I have EE TV, the signal works over Wi-Fi,

  • Starshelly20 Michelle Speller (@Starshelly20) reported

    Dear Elon Musk, Will starlink help me get good reception for Freeview? I’m fed up of having to access widgets and apps to watch live TV. I just want a regular TVguide so I can make a decision in one place like I used to have with an aerial. Thank you, Michelle Speller
