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

    @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.

    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!!

    The sale of Base FM to members of Destiny Church is likely the first step towards a Destiny radio network. A station’s value generally lies within the owned frequencies (and in this case, Freeview presence). Stations pivot their audience all the time.

    @liambrazier Freeview currently do not offer a wifi only service. You may be able to access the broadcasters apps with wifi only on your Smart TV or set top box. Wifi only apps would not allow you to view live content. Thank you, Melissa
