    @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.

    @dougmcfarlane41 It's not fair to blame Freeview. They didn't set fire to the transmitter and they don't own or maintain it. Arquiva are doing their best but they being hampered by legal issues due to the fact that it's in an area of scientific interest. We have to be patient.

  • allaboutclait Allaboutclait (@allaboutclait) reported

    @JaTeken Pity we don't get a rebate for the fact we can't pick up all Freeview channels (the mobile signal's rubbish as well) and there's no FTTP here.

  • JoshMetcalfe Josh Metcalfe (@JoshMetcalfe) reported

    @greeniememes Damn I was hoping you'd give us the word. The Chinese channels on freeview are no help, though that could be because I don't understand Mandarin or Cantonese

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I've got the DM. I've tried for another transmitter but nothing. Guess waiting game or Sky subscription, shame was enjoying Freeview service

  • SortedVFR John Gauld #Rideon (@SortedVFR) reported

    @Spalders @MotoGP Limited service now available. Spoliers! Enjoyed the freeview broadcast on @ITVSport 🙏

  • russeaside1053 russell (@russeaside1053) reported

    @FreeviewTV All the down was dug up to fit KCOM and the town has had problems tv ever since? I play for local bowls team and ask team members if trouble tv and yes they all have all over withernsea. People have bought tv's then find signal breaks up wether it's Freeview, freesat or any

  • babel17 Julian Sparrow (@babel17) reported

    @ElDrunkGato My family doesn't own any TV subscriptions we've used Freeview for years and never watched a Nickelodeon show expect spongbob

  • GRR_No2 Gina G 🌻 (@GRR_No2) reported

    Client who I've repeatedly told that we still don't have freeview has just got curry's out to 'fix' his TV cos it wasn't tuning 🙃 How many times does one person need to be told the same thing!?

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    @Prof_Nostalgia To restore services. So far nearly 3 weeks on the majority of Teesside still has neither TV or Radio, if Freeview can't/won't invest in ageing infrastructure then it very much is there problem
