    @kelvmackenzie Can anyone answer a question for me? If the TV licence is specifically for the BBC, why must I pay for a TV licence if I "watch or record TV on any channel - via any TV service (e.g. Sky, Virgin, BT, Freeview, Freesat)" I don't ever watch BBC channels or use iPlayer....????

    @GoonerWaffle @LauraKirk12 Just a quick pointer from an Icelandic native, you can get the Freeview channels here if you get your internet service through a company called Kapalvæðing.

    @FreeviewAdvice Is there some sort of problem with Freeview in southern England? For weeks now, I’ve had certain channels breaking up and some even going missing completely after retuning. I have both 4G and 5G filters and had no problems at all with transmission until recently.

    @WhoPotterVian I never had an issue with ITV Hub but ITVX just crashes all the time. Took their advice eventually and uninstalled it and reloaded it and now it doesn't work at all. And it works on less devices than it did before - even on a new Freeview Play device bought just last year

    @angefitzpatrick @libmichelle I have lived IN Edinburgh for the past 12 years. Our last house is on the edge of the city but definitely in it. On rainy days Freeview only picked up 4 TV channels and when we moved out in 2019 there was still no cable so internet was glacially slow.

    @Randominium @Daodaoldn @ajcdeane A TV Licence covers you to: watch or record TV on any channel via any TV service (e.g. Sky, Virgin, Freeview, Freesat) watch live on streaming services (e.g. ITVX, All 4, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Now, Sky Go) use BBC iPlayer*. This applies to any device.

    Is anyone having problems with @FreeviewTV at the moment through an aerial? We've only got 53 channels and can't get channels 1-6 either. #television #freeview #tv

    @CaptainPikeachu @LeahyMichael43 It was so bad that UK Netflix got rid of it after three seasons and it had to be shown on freeview tv until Paramount+ debuted. It was purely made so a streaming service could have content.

    @WheresWilly8 @Notregistered66 @Maxaretunit And the signal goes on the Mendip tower leaving people unable to watch Freeview
