    @ImagesZx It seems to rely on what the definition of live TV. If a live program is available on Freeview, Cable TV or Sky (or any related streaming service) then that requires a license. You need for example a license to watch Sky News live on YouTube. (1/2)

    @sarahlouiseit @BabestationCams Sarah wow you are on tv looking hotter than ever go Sarah very naughty like me you lost a rival channel on Freeview Studio 66 shut down oops to them xx

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    On this day in 2012, S4C's original HD service "Clirlun" closed down. Its Freeview slot was taken over by C4 HD. In 2016, S4C relaunched its HD outlet, this time simply known as 'S4C HD'. The BBC Three consultation revealed S4C HD is earmarked for a return to Freeview soon.

    ...WARNING... @SkyHelpTeam got a new SkyQ box and multi room fitted yesterday afternoon, already it is not working! They claim this is the best technology ever, it's not, they just want your money. Stick with freeview people or go to an alternative supplier.

    @virginmedia avoid this lot. Landline hardly ever works, Internet says its fast but there are lags that mean you can't hold a normal MSTeams meeting and more TV stations on Freeview. Also impossible to cancel since you have to sit waiting for useless AI to respond. Just say NO

    @NOWMusic Hey if you insist in having a music channel on Freeview can you please make sure the audio bitrate doesn’t sound garbage? The compression is painful

    @SkyHelpTeam Regretting getting skygo. Not only are we basically paying for freeview the satellite signal has been gone all evening. This isn't the 1970s. Absolute joke and will be cancelled.

    @ScottsRadioSite @BBC_Cumbria True but so does 5G and if we going to update infrastructures it's best to do it same time rather than one after another so they could do that and sort freeview out and roll out better public and private Internet. It shouldn't be patchy network like on a train.

  • MadenRon Ron Maden (@MadenRon) reported

    @brianwinteruk @Al_Hine @ThatsTVXmas It's neither the TV, Freesat or Freeview it is the broadcaster sending out a widescreen signal: Bit rate mode: Variable Bit rate: 1294 Kbps Maximum bit rate: 15.0 Mbps Width: 544 pixels, Height: 576 pixels Display aspect ratio: 16:9 Frame rate: 25.000 fps Scan type: Interlaced

    Not receiving a service who would. A plan that will back fire as I will film the "inspector" when he comes and he demonstrate how&why I should have a licence, good luck with that... Seriously getting pissed off with #BBC @tvlicensing no signal no money from me sort Freeview out
