  @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...😳

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

  @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.

  The BBC freeview digital signal is so bad in Devon Pixilated on & off then a complete loss during the England game? All other channels bar BBC2 worked fine. Had to watch on the laggy BBCi player that was also problematic. I paid for this service. Piss poor service.

  @itvfootball TV constantly stuttering. Is it my Freeview TV or the signal? I may have to fire up the laptop.

  @2810jeremy @BROKENBRITAIN0 It's not the TV set we pay a license for here in the UK, it's any broadcast, BBC, ITV, CH4, CH5 and Freeview, including on-demand BBC iPlayer. You do not need a license to play games, dvds, most of netflix prime etc, that's why so many are cancelling it, we are paying for ****.

  @BBCMaryam I have soap on my feet after the below, sorry to rant, but it is in you and your great cultural contribution’s favour. The BBC is welcomed into our homes like family. ✅ Fraud is being committed by those taking the moving pictures content (and perhaps again soon, for radio usage), and the modern trend seems to be the plinth upon which people excuse themselves. ❌ I rather think, given the will to sell off the radio spectrum, that the licence levy belongs as a fiver per month on fixed and mobile internet devices, including roaming connectivity by arrivals as the product of inbound tourism. (Estimate this would bring in £6bn, which could fund BBC as-was and opt-in Internet experience safety by a low level path extension through a Bitesize style category block service and bureaucracy.) But back to the family analogy, the BBC is the auntie who visits us in our homes, and yet we never tire of her, and we are never relived when she nods off for the night by the hearth. The govt before this one knee-capped the fundamentals, and all that effort of retailers recording home addresses when receiver-capable equipment was bought. The elephant in the room being that a subscription service would require encryption, and next to nothing on FreeView or FreeSat considers that, apart from adult channels with hacks to the way the digital services are scraped from the multiplexes. MP Ms Nandy said she had ideas to ensure the BBC future and that tax eroding parties would never be able to ruin our most dignified and amazing project. I write this to you, Maryam, just to reassure a heart-on-sleeve, articulate and forward looking individual like yourself and your husband, that there are people who know exactly how empty the experience of media absorption becomes if auntie goes into a home, and all we are left with is her amazing life in diary form. Trust in the silent majority, and hope these whizzes in suits and sparkling white trainers do not blessed-prannick it all up! (Where did the word ‘prannick’ ever go, I guess it fell out with ‘Square’ and ‘Yar’?) But, the Project is bigger than any one, which CH4 and CH5 have partly proven for how the core offering is welcomed as long as there is occasional freshness from that ole 80s BBC Two style subversion and ability to laugh at institutions. Somebody smarter than me will steer a course. Perhaps like in Covid when the smart phones said how many of us were going about on the roads with application of new rules, etc. Perhaps the Barb data and corroboration with declarations of the licence not applying could be partnered with Apple and Alphabet-Google-Android to quantify when BBC is being absorbed, and use that data to get the govt if the day to rank the nation as honest or lying bar-stewards. And if the verdict is a lie, enforce something to do with how we stream, as my suggestion of a fiver per month for fixed and mobile could serve. Fundamentally, we cannot lose you guys, especially in consideration for how you would be on twice to four times your compensation package in commercial TV world. Plus,I think it is also still true that Austria, Switzerlandvand Germany charge more for their live TV access licence, have a narrower offer and take advertising too. And, whilst FreeView, FreeSat is shared with commercial TV today, but we enjoy less frequent and shorter ad breaks than is customary in North America, we can surely expect the deathknell of tolerable commercial TV to end when their per-station platform costs disappear when harm is delivering the final blow to BBC or serious parts thereof. BBC News, in all guises of plurality should be expanding to handle the billionaire outcrop creeping in, not actively trimming ****** limbs off. Or am I wrong? Hugs to best broadcaster to many tens of millions here and half-billions beyond. #Reliability #MidwayBias #Leader

  @alunsays @EnglandRugby Not in HD on Freeview. For a premium match it's a poor effort from ITV, like watching TV in the 90s...

  @darrengrimes Nothing decided yet so I’ll wait until it actually happens before deciding to cancel my subscriptions or not. Tv companies are losing customers right left and centre due to the constant inflation plus 3.9%. I’m seriously looking at just getting a freeview box and a “fire stick “

  @JoshCF_ They're a joke now, two years ago the deal was £45 with basic freeview and Sky Q and now it's £63. They've also ended customer support on here and UK based customer calls. The app regularly messes up now, doesn't recognise you've paid and you end up getting charged again 😑
