  • 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.

  • 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...😳

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

  • LeeMcilwaine leemcilwaine (@LeeMcilwaine) reported

    @DigitalJonathan @TobyWoody ***** sake, are you still blathering on? What's a PhD got to do with the issues you or your esteemed wife were having? For some people adjusting settings DID work. If your issues were related to Freeview then probably theirs weren't.

  • DigitalJonathan Jonathan Phillips (@DigitalJonathan) reported from Bristol, England

    @LeeMcilwaine @corylus @BBCSport You’ll never believe it Lee, but you’re wrong. The signal is being cropped on this freeview signal. Cropped on every picture aspect.

  • appjaws PWS (@appjaws) reported

    @GBNews I am on the IOW and for the last 4 or 5 days the Freeview channel 236 has not been working, no signal. Very disappointed.

  • DJMidarezaki DJ Midarezaki, Esq. 🇬🇧🇭🇰➡️ #LivesMatter (@DJMidarezaki) reported

    Hi @news_ntd Not sure what has happened to your streaming server but it now stalls so often to be unwatchable, and your feed to Channelbox (Freeview 271) is of ridiculously low resolution the picture looks so blurry.

  • ms_czapla Mrs Czapla (@ms_czapla) reported

    @Mistywoman1 @grafter4867 All I know is that since I had the second jab I can get something called GB News on my freeview and it was never there before. Coincidence? I'll let you decide.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported
