  • 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.

  • 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...😳

  • quodignoratum Myles Winstone (@quodignoratum) reported from Warrington, England

    2/ the EE TV service. What are other formerly happy EE TV clients feeling about and doing about this? Is there any way we can continue to use the EE TV box for receipt, recording Freeview programmes etc ?

  • NotRollergirl Daisy Buchanan (@NotRollergirl) reported

    I am emphatically the least sporty of sporters but I feel terrible for archery. It looks really, really demanding and difficult - and also not something I’d watch as long as the Food Network remains on Freeview.

    @janetrmason @BBCBreakfast @sallynugent I suspect most of those families have full sky packages, iPhones and other luxuries. We eat well and cheaply BUT I have to use Freeview and I cannot afford a £100's top rated phone. My families goes without nothing BUT we live to our means. I witness many who claim to be poor...

  • mickhsmith Mick Smith (@mickhsmith) reported

    @58paulb @Bigdogdigs Always used to buy Panasonic. Then I had a hard drive fail on a freeview box. Panasonic were no help at all, because they didn’t want me to repair it myself.

  • JontoKaye1 Jonto Kaye1 (@JontoKaye1) reported

    @shannadelicacy @juliegrizzy I have freeview which has lots of never watch channels but it's free and meets our requirements. I do miss almost all sports/new films but I'm not paying £80 odd per month for them. Prime, Netflix and the rest are a waste of money. They can all get stuffed....

  • GusArthurr GUS (@GusArthurr) reported

    People should be mad that prior to the pandemic, not a single PL game was shown on freeview and that BT bought all of the CL coverage that used to be shown on ITV but ok now #superleague is a problem?

  • Arsenal0819 Arsenal Mania (@Arsenal0819) reported

    To really bring football back to fans and boot the rich out of football - all matches to be shown on freeview channels I’m sure SKY will support this 🤡

  • mmaconachie Martyn Maconachie (@mmaconachie) reported

    I don't like to be the bearer of bad news, but my EPG on Freeview is now saying #TOTP is not on until 9:30, and it's not the 13th December episode.

  • H_MOORE4 Hugh (@H_MOORE4) reported

    @SBunching I disagree, more football is available to watch than ever but virtually none is on free to air. 1st Prem game I watched live was actually in a stadium, we didn’t have Sky in my house so I never had the opportunity. I became a fan through FA cup and champs league games on freeview
