    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!!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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!

    @ANeighboursFan @CiTyFoLkFeRaL *Freevee not Freeview, damn autocorrect is going to be doing that a lot over the next few months I imagine.

  • Beardy359 Stephen Lister 💙 (@Beardy359) reported

    My Youview box has packed up. No major problem, but it was convenient to have all my streaming apps (more or less) in one place with one controller. Am I better off buying an android box or a smart tv with all built in? I have an Amazon stick but no Freeview on it. Thoughts?

  • ShaitanIblis Shiva (@ShaitanIblis) reported

    @CharlotteCGill The 20-somethings would not say that, they know UK's senior citizens who rely on a state pension, need pension credit, do not have Netflix, they have Freeview instead, never buy expensive coffees or food outside their home.

  • helpasmallbus1 help a small business and a family (@helpasmallbus1) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam can you tell me what exactly your admin fee of £20 is and why I have to pay this every time I renew my sky q package, as a long time customer I’m seriously considering keeping my £20 and just using freeview and Netflix

  • xKeithRodenx Keith Roden ◣ ◢ (@xKeithRodenx) reported

    @taffjohnlloyd @skytv No, you can't record once you cancel... Though can still watch the Freeview channels, which is pointless as my telly has Freeview built-in.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital I can stream most of the freeview channels no problem on sky puck. Or watch on sky + or sky Q or freesat.

  • CeleneHawthorne 🎉🌛 Scorpio season/birthday month🌜🎉 (@CeleneHawthorne) reported

    @vee4vampy No, it's a Freeview on demand service we watch it on. I think its called "My five". Vince retired/stepped down a few weeks ago now and it's been triple H that stepped up and took over.

  • explodingwalrus Carl Draper (@explodingwalrus) reported

    the @BBC channels on Freeview are all currently down for me

  • JamesD_EFC James Davis 🇺🇦 (@JamesD_EFC) reported

    @LGUKCare Hi LG, my TV model number 43UP78006LB won't detect any channels through cable input and doesn't detect any Freeview channels via Wifi. Any suggestions as to what the problem might be?
