    @FreeviewAdvice Thank you for your response. I've been having problems with Freeview for months, so I'm not impressed with the service, and so many repeats, that we've already paid for. Regards Anne.

    @Sp0ngebucket @virginmedia I wish I was technically minded, I'd do that. Ours isn't recording anything we have to watch it the next day on catchup. How do I watch freeview? ps really appreciate your help 🙏

    @angefitzpatrick @libmichelle I have lived IN Edinburgh for the past 12 years. Our last house is on the edge of the city but definitely in it. On rainy days Freeview only picked up 4 TV channels and when we moved out in 2019 there was still no cable so internet was glacially slow.

    @WheresWilly8 @Notregistered66 @Maxaretunit And the signal goes on the Mendip tower leaving people unable to watch Freeview

    @Ayrhead2 @jeffsprogress @ColinBrazierTV 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*.

    @beth__moreton In saying that, my area doesn't have CITV (or the mux it broadcasts on) on Freeview as it's a relay. So I've never been able to access it via Freeview (but it can be on Freesat which is more of an expense to set up...)

  • into_de_void DeVoid (@into_de_void) reported

    @kelvmackenzie Can anyone answer a question for me? If the TV licence is specifically for the BBC, why must I pay for a TV licence if I "watch or record TV on any channel - via any TV service (e.g. Sky, Virgin, BT, Freeview, Freesat)" I don't ever watch BBC channels or use iPlayer....????

  • dcole0007 Danny (@dcole0007) reported

    @supertanskiii I want to but I use a streaming service that includes Freeview. I’d like @bbc to be independent of any govt Tory or @UKLabour . It needs to become a subscription service

    @space_librarian @libmichelle We never went above BBC Four on Freeview, unless it’s a hop to Cbeeies - thank god that worked. Our home-made internet was actually better than the BT provider, but our booster aerials were in the church spire and the pub… which made Teams calls weird in lockdown
