@Stephen_Neal Good shout! If we just take the Freeview/Freesat ones, we get to ten, excluding the National ones: 1) BBC One 2) BBC Two 3) BBC Four 4) CBBC 5) CBeebies 6) BBC News 7) BBC Parliament 8) Dave 9) Drama 10) Yesterday But they aren’t licence fee funded, so don’t help the argument.

@DrRacheal @FreeviewTV When I had problems with Freeview, I found their helpline - when I eventually managed to get through to someone - very helpful. Took me step-by-step through the stuff I could check and solved it for me.

@TalkingPicsTV Hello. Watching at about 4.35 pm on Monday 24th the Sky TV picture was completely lost from your channel and went off air. All other channels were fine. Also okay on Freeview but I missed the end of the film. At 4.48 pm it is still without a, signal. What's up?

Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

@LushJEL I'm not much of a TV person as I don't really like it, but I found channel 83 on Freeview TV which is NOW The 80s, so some nights I just have it on in the background, lots of crap but also some good old ones 👍

With all this wall to wall coverage crap of a dead man by @skynews and @bbcnews Netflix and Freeview's viewing figures must be the highest they've ever been.

@bt_uk Thanks for the help. I spoke to freeview, tried a few things which didn't work but i contacted your TV help and after doing a few basic things somehow it appears to be working now! Very Strange. Tks

@leksi_p Correct. If you do not have Freeview, Sky or Virgin (or any other cable service), you should not need to pay if you never watch it.

@PayneB44 @tomhfh @BBC Your point was you want a break from it. There’s 1000s of channels, Freeview, YouTube, Sky, NOWTV, Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, BRITBOX DVDs, Blu-rays. Boxsets. There’s never been so much content to take your mind off it. Or just turn the telly off.

Woeful service from @skytv Time to change to freeview. You call customer services before 9. But no one wants to talk. So you get cut off 4 times. Poor CS.

@compo99 @irishkazza @BorisJohnson I have an old phone, don’t smoke or drink, only have freeview, haven’t been on holiday in over a decade, never owned designer anything, have had the same old trainers for years and have only gotten one small tattoo in the last 5 years that I saved up for for months. Try again 🙄

@KatiKnitt That really sucks. We have the TV license here in the UK, but if you don't actually consume "live TV" (BBC, freeview, live sports, etc.) then you don't actually have to pay for it; in my case, all I use is YT, Twitch & stream subs. Shocking and aggravating that you're forced to!

@pipmadeley I've got the same problem. On the backup freeview aerial so it's not urgent to fix. Local firm I queried with is callout at £50 to cover for up to an hour. Parts and repair £20 on top. If it's a long job you could be looking at £100+.
