  • 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...😳

  • Robbo72uk Andy Roberts (@Robbo72uk) reported from Southport, England

    Virgin tv and broadband gone down yet again. Resorting to Freeview right now. The picture quality is actually much better than Virgin...AND no glitches and constant picture breakup!!

  • karlmcintyre Karl McIntyre (@karlmcintyre) reported from St Helens, England

    @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.

  • Toffeewolfie Philip whitehurst (@Toffeewolfie) reported from Liverpool, England

  • iainsykes2014 Iain Sykes (@iainsykes2014) reported from Blackburn, England

    @KarmaUnc @GMB @joshwiddicombe Yes, but the BBC is a significant contributor to Arquiva who own the masts. They also support Freeview and Freesat.

  • johnworthy27 john worthington (@johnworthy27) reported from Preston, England

    @chloesammike @andywigmore @KayBurley Don't worry you can still get Sky news on channel 132 on your Freeview box. Thick ****.....

  • richard__webb Richard Webb (@richard__webb) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @GBNEWS i was so looking forward to it. But… on freeview the picture quality is really poor, sound is out of sync, and just feels like the sets are dark and badly lit. Took my focus away from listening to whats being projected. #GBNews

  • nickrenshaw5 nick renshaw (@nickrenshaw5) reported

    @goldchannel U&GOLD is an awful channel. You **** about with things all the time instead of just leaving it alone. Also you only show repeats so why isn't this channel available on Freeview? ******* waste of money that's what U&GOLD IS

  • PopeyeFreeview Popeye (@PopeyeFreeview) reported

    That's TV Facebook Tuesday 9th December 2025 This was posted at 12pm Lynda Rowsell I've contacted Freeview & they informed me that That's TV are having problems & working to get it all resolved. That's TV channels have not been taken down, it's temporary. 3h Mel Russell Lynda Rowsell thank god for that

  • 4Viewers 4Viewers (@4Viewers) reported

    @Gary_mcpm007 @Channel4 Hey Gary - are you still having this issue with #Channel4? It this through Freeview, Sky or Virgin?

  • alistairjbrown Alistair Brown (@alistairjbrown) reported

    @Freely_tv is there a way of forcing my freely TV to get all freeview channels through the aerial? My internet is down now I can't watch most channels. Doesn't seem right.

  • PopeyeFreeview Popeye (@PopeyeFreeview) reported

    Freeview changes on That's Media Freeview channel 80 That's TV will move to Freeview channel 56 bad news only available in Manchester Freeview channel 85 That's TV 2 will move to Freeview channel 65 bad news only available in Manchester That's TV channels unaffected on Freeview in Manchester and channel 7 & 8 unaffected on Freeview. I think get rid of That's TV 3 and That's Christmas and use there national Frequency for That's TV and That's TV 2 like on Freesat. And Manchester can keep That's TV 3 and That's Christmas.

  • MattZeeMiller matthew zee-miller (@MattZeeMiller) reported

    @cordbusters Never understood why no Freeview app?? Simple app a list of all uk TV channels easy visibly and accessable on (all devices) no new equipment needed and keeps eyes on UK output... All is needed is an app!!!

  • outdooradvscot OutdoorAdventureScot (@outdooradvscot) reported

    It’s on Freeview: no subscription! What a stupid palaver dreamt up to demand personal data that can be sold on. Now watching all the other excellent, easily accessible channels.

    @mcr_hero @iestynbravo For boxing on freeview it's not a bad card

  • otterman69 James Magee (@otterman69) reported

    @ThatsTVOfficial Second day of "this service is not available" message on Freeview channel 56. If a human being monitors this X feed, can you tell us is this permanent or a temporary thing ?
