@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.

@StevenFewster @t25bear @StenaLine The only hassle I encountered: terrestrial TV signal differs, so FreeView TVs don't work except in NI & near border & incompatible w Irish SaorView. But easily resolved w an inexpensive external satellite combo box. Seems you can even keep UK driving licence after all.

@La_Duff Look up common IP address & Subnet, DNS etc settings for your TV model on the internet & manually change them on the TV's Network settings, I used to have to re-set those settings all the time on my Freeview TV recorder box to get it to connect to my old router,

@FreeviewAdvice Having some issues with Freeview in leeds - LS14, lost quite a few channels, very poor signal one the ones still working. Retuning has not helped. BBC2 gone, all HD channels gone, poor signal on the rest of them. All good on my side of things...

I might live in London but my TV can't get a whole load of Freeview channels. I rescan every few days. Sometimes some channels reappear. Sometimes they disappear. Sometimes my signal gets worse. May as well live in a rural area. I'd probably have the same signal.
