    @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...😳

  • 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. 👍

  • 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..

  • maycomedy may thompson (@maycomedy) reported

    hate is a strong word but those freeview play adverts with the aliens warrant it i really hate them and their stupid biscuits

  • swinksnz Logan Swinkels 🎙🏒🎮 (@swinksnz) reported

    @AndrewP32596916 @ESPNAusNZ Otherwise, the game is also on Māori TV. I don’t have Freeview, so the ESPN app using a Sky Go login is the only way.

  • Marktnewbold Mark Newbold (@Marktnewbold) reported

    @secondtierpod When your Freeview reception is poor

  • personal_acc_pm A voice in the crowd (@personal_acc_pm) reported

    @BBCOne I have no problem paying for a TV license, when variety is available. Not everyone like the same thing. But all you put on recently is sport! If you are going to do that, create a BBC Sport channel on iplayer, or another freeview channel.

  • SandraToFriends Alexandria the Scot. (@SandraToFriends) reported

    @wearyprovo Can you cancel online I hate the phone because they put you through to other ppl, I want to stop mine to, I never watch it any more, except sky news and you get that on freeview.

  • ahappystitcher Sally-Jane 💙💛🌻 (@ahappystitcher) reported

    @DianeHaywood71 I know. Our lounge TV doesn't work without WiFi as the internal freeview box dies ages ago and we have to use a firestick for that. It's never ending this no WiFi lark ... 🙄

  • SkyHelpTeam Sky Help Team (@SkyHelpTeam) reported

    @CraziCatLady Thanks, Emma. The Freeview service cannot be watched through a Sky + box. If you have anymore questions then please let me know. Liam

  • RTWRich RtwRich 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 (@RTWRich) reported

    @mediaguardian If I were working @Channel4 I'd be plotting a plan for entire workforce to walk out en masse, set up a new, non profit, charitable foundation trust, then obtain digital licenses for a reborn Network 4 (eg taking over the Freeview/public slot used by failing local city stations).
