  • 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.

    I don't have an ariel or freeview I rely on your piece of shit @virginmedia #VirginMedia

  • 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!!

  • m7leicauser Andy Barton (@m7leicauser) reported from Comberbach, England

    @FreeviewTV Thanks to Dan at Freeview, the aerial-out retune x2 seems to have cured the problem. 👍

  • 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...😳

  • groovicat groovicat 💚 (@groovicat) reported from Adlington, England

    @Sillyshib Heartbeat, ssshhh, it's never been off. You can watch Heartbeat every day on freeview

  • 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!

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital This is interesting as I fully support public service TV and fta TV, I'm not against pay TV though, it has an equal appeal to me, sadly I can,t get proper freeview where I live, but fully support Viacom and ch 5 coming into digital UK.

  • voyseyboy Nick Cowley (@voyseyboy) reported

    @virginmedia I will stick with Freeview. I only wanted to see what packages were on offer. Thanks for your help.

  • skierlisa Lisa (skier/ski's) youngest child (@skierlisa) reported

    @davechannel @joshwiddicombe We have Freeview but I have never seen Dave as it doesn't work in my area of Lancashire

  • meraulton Meraulton (@meraulton) reported

    Come on @freeview sort your Christmas week tea time schedule out, its awful. I've defected to BBC2 tonight for their Dads Army Christmas Special. Your 7 to 9 schedule is awful on all channels.

  • Carolinerebisz Caroline Rebisz (@Carolinerebisz) reported

    @FreeviewTV all our TVs in the house which have freeview have no channel signal. What's occurring?

  • chasnbons Phil H (@chasnbons) reported

    @FreeviewTV can someone tell me what the hell is going on with freeview? Sick to death of having no TV! Outage after Outage, day after day! Same reports all over the country. Fgs get it sorted, I didn't pay over 100 quid for a recorder box not to be able to watch it!

  • StevenGothard Steven Gothard (@StevenGothard) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @S66Cams @ellabellajolie @sashalouise__x I've lost studio 66 on freeview can you help please

  • Jack95962945 Jack (@Jack95962945) reported

    @DefundBBC @HHepplewhite ‘You need to be covered by a TV Licence if you watch live TV on any channel or TV service - such as ITV Hub, All 4, YouTube, Sky, Virgin, BT, Freeview, Amazon Prime Video, Now TV - on any device’. Just saying.

  • giantbaystacks Hannah/Baystacks (@giantbaystacks) reported

    @muddyasblood It’s ridiculous that I haven’t seen it really, given the multiple recommendations and knowing a fair few comedy types through Mach fest. But I don’t have freeview so never saw it on Dave and then just took until now to get around to it on 4!

  • wonkyalison wonkyalison (@wonkyalison) reported from Beverley, England

    What is going on with freeview? Thought my aerial &/or signal booster were broken. No obvious issues. Seems lots of folk are reporting issues. Grrr.
