    @drewhill79 @VodafoneUK @MattJConnor @StHKHIS Same here. BT got the 150 mb and it flies. Good support and I stream everything!! Don’t even have normal freeview.

  • 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. 👍

  • Bluebird0309 CllrJillHoulbrook (@Bluebird0309) reported from Chester, England

    I have 100 freeview channels on my tv. Tonight they are all showing utter crap.

  • 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..

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

    @TalkingPicsTV Definitely. We struggle getting Freeview and as you’re not on BT TV I’m missing my fix!

  • thecolinturner Colin Turner (@thecolinturner) reported

    @GBNEWS The problem with being on Freeview is we need a licence to watch it and therefore have to fund the BBC.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital Its interesting though, i also read with interest about the freeview fallback scheme, filling gaps in reception using iptv formats, i have the internet, so no problem there, i can get channel box, britbox, disney+ etc on my tv.

  • Cartoonist_Rob Rob The Cartoonist (@Cartoonist_Rob) reported

    @Philips Hi! As of this afternoon, Freeview Play and associated Apps have started working again. A reply from FVP also states they have had an issue. Hopefully all fixed now. Thanks for your help.

  • OllieHand Ollie Hand (@OllieHand) reported

    @SamSmette Similar really, if theres a catchup service we use that but if its a film or something on, say, Sky Arts (on freeview) I might want to record it. I dont record a great deal.

  • mimmi_13 MarinaraMeatball (@mimmi_13) reported

    I have a contractor over to finally fix the aerial and the freeview coverage in the house. I offered him tea/coffee but he refused. I am not sure what I am supposed to do right now. The citizenship test did not prepare me for this.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    BBC to "support the distribution of S4C services across multiple platforms". Adds weight to comment in BBC Three Public Interest Test about allocating bandwidth to S4C HD in Wales on Freeview.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @scotthatley @a516digital @ukdtt Freeview is very poor under the relay service, if they decide to bring in an ip fallback option, that should be there first priority,

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital Ive heard diffrent excuses why bbc one isnt in hd for local service, cost invovled etc. Despite that fact i can,t get freeview, but thats my issue, my parents can get it. And i used to be able to get it when lived there.

  • Logicumdictatu1 Logicumdictatus (prime minister elect) (@Logicumdictatu1) reported

    @minxyme72 Don't watch terrestrial TV anymore, at worst may put something on freeview that I know that I want to watch, but that is very rare as 99.9% of it is total woke pc crap.

  • Bryan527Bryan Thomas Bryan (@Bryan527Bryan) reported

    @Darksparks1 @thewle Not giving up, can't vote because there is no choice other than LibLabCon. Say what I think on twitter but it's just pissing into the wind. Generally I'm up for a laugh, Freeview, Sky, Netflix and Amazon Prime mainly crap but have Audible and Kindle unlimited too.
