  • 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...😳

  • 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.

  • groovicat groovicat 💚 (@groovicat) reported from Adlington, England

    @Sillyshib Heartbeat, ssshhh, it's never been off. You can watch Heartbeat every day on freeview

  • 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!!

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • gildy61 Random Jottings of Gildersleeve (@gildy61) reported

    @MrJohnNicolson @theSNP discussed how Sky would affect broadcasting in the UK. And he was fearful of Murdoch's influence. It killed off the original BSB idea with the little satellite dishes. A mini network of ITV channels though technically the latter sort've returned using Freeview/Sky's platform.

  • lewismj_waioeka Michael Lewis (@lewismj_waioeka) reported

    @Fles__ @partnumber2 They wouldn't be destroying it. What are you afraid of? If the BBC is as good as you say it is, they'll have lots of subscribers, go global. For those that would prefer to save money and just use FreeView, why would you force them to pay for a service you want but they don't?

  • kentindell Ken Tindell (@kentindell) reported

    @stephenkb @colinelves There’s a technical issue with existing Freeview (DVB-T2 as rolled out in the UK) equipment being used for content access. It’s impractical to turn conventional TV into pay TV. So it will have to be free to air plus top up TV via streaming and/or another box.

  • lewismj_waioeka Michael Lewis (@lewismj_waioeka) reported

    @LaylaMoran @BBCOxford If the BBC is great, it will have no trouble getting subscribers, what are you afraid of? Why force say pensioners or the poor to pay a regressive tax? They may be happy with FreeView, why should they be forced into paying for the BBC if they don't want it?

  • josephjonesct3 josephjonesct3@icloud.com (@josephjonesct3) reported

    @zsk That’s why we watch Freeview. The problem is, many will have to work for a living, rather than being a parasite on the public purse and demanding the stealth tax by menaces

  • linmac232 Lin Mac🇬🇧 (@linmac232) reported

    @WebsterFrank @abline11 @jamiebglover Could it be some, in fact a lot have freeview, freesat etc and can watch other news. Trouble is we still have to pay BBC to watch other news. Get it?

  • barongreenbacks Tim Binsley #JohnsonOut (@barongreenbacks) reported

    @jamiebglover It’s not just about all the BBC channels though, wonderful as they are. The licence fee also maintains the Freeview and radio network on which commercial TV and radio stations depend. The argument to defund the BBC will hurt far more than the BBC.

  • thatfoxxybloke David Foxx (@thatfoxxybloke) reported

    @Monkeymanb0b Freeview with out the 3 BBC channels is the obvious solution. Which would be free. You could also then add subscriptions if you want them. The difference between the TV licence and Skys basic package is £6.

  • JeffTrainer3 Jeff Trainer (@JeffTrainer3) reported

    @Uptotherewithit @TVSanjeev Well that stuff is paid for so just strip the woke crap & run World Service type news & all the old programs on Freeview, but not funded by a Licence Fee or the taxpayer. All other sport, comedy, films, etc can go on Advert or subscription model, and that pays for the former!

  • derek_longden derek longden (@derek_longden) reported

    @gnomeicide Freeview network is supported by the licence fee.
