    @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.

    @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...😳

    Just a warning to folk - don't buy a @Manhattan_TV freeview box. The call centre staff are very rude, unhelpful and just talk over you. Their equipment is not fit for purpose!!

    @winklepin @DanTillotson If you are still having problems when you retune, there is a Freeview helpline that might be worth a chat with? Freeview advice line on 03456 505050

    @di_burrowes73 @NeighboursTV @AmazonFreevee Sorry, I thought perhaps you didn’t realise as you were asking about the Amazon freeview service. Thought i was being helpful. Please accept my apologies. Have a good day.

  • kevorkian82 Jack Kevorkian (@kevorkian82) reported

    @tarasutherland @felicitykate @rosered_nz My TV has a Freeview tuner built in. I had the antenna guy come and take the antenna down because birds we’re using it to **** on my deck. I can stream live TV from the TVNZ and Three apps on Apple TV if I want to subject myself to that.

  • lynne_drummond Lynne Drummond 💙 (@lynne_drummond) reported

    @fliceverett My first TV was a cast off of my Grandma which was B&W and for many years had a dodgy tube so that peoples feet appeared above their heads. I bought my second TV ( colour) from Boots in 1984 and only bought my current one because I was having problems with the Freeview box !
