  • 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.

  • 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!

  • tashatam14 tashatam (@tashatam14) reported

    @benonwine Get plenty of practice here in rural Devon, where the power and internet go off quite regularly, and many of us have no mobile signal at all (or mains sewage, decent water pressure, gas, public transport, road repairs, freeview signal - you name it, we don't have it)

  • ThatsTVOfficial That's TV (@ThatsTVOfficial) reported

    @rockgod1970 @FreeviewTV If you can’t receive us where you live or you don’t have a Freeview HD TV then you will still normally be able to receive us via the Vision TV portal on Freeview channel 264 (internet-connected TV required) Maybe @FreeviewAdvice can help?

  • OCDTrudy Grumpy Old Girl! #WearADamnMask 😷🇪🇺 (@OCDTrudy) reported

    @LemSip27 No some idiot left an item at the station so it had to be checked and it wasn't suspicious. Freeview has been having problems for months with various transmitters or relays going down throughout the UK

  • Homerbhoy Ray (@Homerbhoy) reported

    @WeAreSTV Can someone advise me how I can create a STV freeview account. The website only seems to allow account holders to login but not register.

  • JasonFlavell Jase 🎢 (@JasonFlavell) reported

    @timpez123 It can be, it entirely depends on your Wi-Fi, it relies on that entirely, if your wife is down the TV is pretty much defunct apart from if you have an arial in it for free view. Same applies if you cancel the sky subscription, the TV is basically a dead tv other than freeview

  • mwoodwriting Matthew Paul Wood (@mwoodwriting) reported from Redcar, England

    There's an important point to be made about internet freedom and search algorithms but I can't be bothered all that so... The internet is like Freeview now. "Do you want this crap thing you didn't ask for on CNN 1, CNN 2, or CNN extra?" 😾

  • FreeviewTV Freeview (@FreeviewTV) reported

    @Gucci_Hughes Hi Brad, Unfortunately, Freeview is only viewable via a aerial at this time, you can use the catch up service online. Thanks George

  • mikemart1n Mike Martin (@mikemart1n) reported

    @StevieClaridge @ichoosemag Dave Hills Dave kills where funny fringed guitarist hunts down comedians who have appeared on the freeview channel. Not suitable for family viewing.
