  • 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!!

  • quodignoratum Myles Winstone (@quodignoratum) reported from Warrington, England

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

  • 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...😳

  • karlmcintyre Karl McIntyre (@karlmcintyre) reported from St Helens, England

    @drewhill79 @VodafoneUK @MattJConnor @StHKHIS Same here. BT got the 150 mb and it flies. Good support and I stream everything!! Don’t even have normal freeview.

  • Toffeewolfie Philip whitehurst (@Toffeewolfie) reported from Liverpool, England

    @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..

  • bulldogbyrne julie byrne (@bulldogbyrne) reported from Hindley, England

  • scott_gamer Scott M (@scott_gamer) reported

    @Page_888 @russty_russ The rebrand made sense, but the channel only airing at that time of the day on Freeview didn't. It was never going to be able to compete with the BBC and Sky, so I'm surprised that ITV's news channel managed to last 5 years on the air.

  • Vash198973 Vash (@Vash198973) reported

    Double standards in this house, she's sat with candles lit, drinking gin, watching basically porn dressed up as a love story on Netflix, never said a word. I got caught watching the television X Freeview years back and she called me a fat ***** #365daysThisDay

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie 🇺🇦 (@Brekkietweets) reported

    @putthetellyon And on top of that HD channels are actually closing down on Freeview. The picture quality of low bit-rate SD channels is increasingly an issue in a world where people have bigger TV and HD streaming services as the norm.

  • games_nomad nomad (@games_nomad) reported

    @JennieStrife Digital freeview is still transmitted through aerials, so yeah they still work. You just need to have a freeview enabled TV or a set-top box, old TV's can't pick up the signal.

  • Andy44607295 Andy (@Andy44607295) reported

    @BBlues70 Never had it, it's bad enough paying any company to watch TV..I'm going back to Freeview..

  • nisbetbryce Nisbet Bryce (@nisbetbryce) reported

    @BootstrapCook Sometimes. The cabling should work fine so long as the box and your TV have an HDMI port. Problem might be whether the Freeview signal in your area is strong enough to be picked up by a small aerial.

  • leckston Heather (@leckston) reported

    @petemorristwit Simples- the @BBC should be on Freeview or a subscription service. They've screwed the British public for too long.😡

  • CamillaWest Camilla West (@CamillaWest) reported

    @BootstrapCook I did this for my mum after she had a falling out with all the cable/phone companies. Had to get a booster areal but got all the freeview channels and just went weird and pixelated in very bad weather!

  • WellyGeeNZ Gary Weatherhead 💉x3 (@WellyGeeNZ) reported

    @Suzyiam If you have a modern-ish ‘Freeview’ aerial on your roof then you can get NZ’s free to air Freeview service. 26 TV channels and 2 radio stations (other parts of NZ it may vary, that’s here in Kāpiti). I have a 6yr old TV which gets Freeview fine, plus I use Netflix & Disney apps

  • FurbyRach Rachel Furber (@FurbyRach) reported
