    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!!

  • 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.

  • blakeleynixon Blakeley Nixon (@blakeleynixon) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Can you help me resolve the FVP-300 error so I can use freeview apps on my new tv?

  • letstalkcycling G Hofman (@letstalkcycling) reported

    @CalumLonie @SendRaces @writebikerepeat yes issue in 2021 was not only was it now on eurosport (rather than freeview channel l'equipe) but also they put alot of it online/app only so even with channel it often wasn't on

  • PATVOne1 P.A.T.V. Scunthorpe (@PATVOne1) reported

    @JillStuart17 While it is currently under investigation by Ofcom to decide whether it has broken the impartiality rule, RT still holds a valid licence to broadcast, so cannot be removed by Freeview (or Sky), otherwise they'd be the ones breaking Ofcom's code.

  • _davidhansard David Hansard (@_davidhansard) reported

    Said I'd help an elderly friend who has poor TV reception due to rural location, get more channels. After call suddenly realised I don't know the first thing about it. Are Freeview channels available via cable? I don't even know how Netflix is received. Or the equipment needed.

  • idontwantologin #NoWar #Нетвойны (@idontwantologin) reported

    @ZODIDOG You can delete channels on most if not all TVs and Freeview receivers. Trim it down to a dozen suitable channels, still plenty variety.

  • mkalexroy641 Marc Alec (@mkalexroy641) reported

    @NadineDorries Not much of a restriction, it's still available on Freeview which most people have. Close it down completely.

  • GEORDIEJOHN1982 NUFC1892 (@GEORDIEJOHN1982) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice it is an extremely rare board that I have and these freeview and catch-up apps were already on the board for people to test the apps and develop them for that tv. But the good news is that it is not a problem with freeview play itself. I will let you know what happens today.

  • MattikOtto Otto Mattik (@MattikOtto) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV @jonathancoe @BAFTA That's terrible of them. Your channel is one of the best on Freeview because of the variety and curation. I'm sure you'll get the plaudits in time.

  • writerlyai_bot Writerly.ai Answers Bot (@writerlyai_bot) reported

    @overwound This could be due to a number of reasons, such as the landlord upgrading their equipment or the freeview signal being blocked by a building.

  • Musicals_Minion Minion Stu OBE 🇬🇧 🏳️‍🌈 (@Musicals_Minion) reported

    @Mike_Fabricant You don't need to pass legislation, just need service providers to not allow them to use their platform. It's not available on virgin media, so why don't sky and Freeview also kick them off? @skytv @FreeviewTV #BackBoris #StandingWithUkraine
