    It’s now been 2 days without a tv signal in North Walsham. So annoying when you still have to pay for a tv licence. #Freeview

    @DenisiousP @ITV I've got (or have access to) most other methods...the TV has freeview, or whatever it's called now, prime, disney, paramount, netflix Etc., and I have a google stick thing I never use...and I only needed the itv one for one thing. Won't use it again. But thank you :)

    @theAliceRoberts @BBCTwo @JohnnyFlynnHQ I’ve been watching a previous series on a freeview channel. One of the episodes featured an Anglo Saxon cemetery, and three of the skeletons had been laid out on tables. One of them showed battle damage to the bones, where a sword had sliced part of the shoulder, hip and knee.

    @ttyEngland @PeachesBlooms @YardleyShooting From the horse’s mouth: ”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*.” [1/2]
