@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 👍

@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.

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 😂

@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

Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

@FreeviewAdvice I’ve been experiencing a lot of poor quality imaging/interruptions of my freeview in my area, Chingford, London. Also I’ve been able to DM you and I’m not sure why the system is not enabling it. It doesn’t bring up your company when I try

@stevieboywise If that’s Freeview maybe due to high pressure issue again.

@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.

To be honest, when you've removed the dependency of other real time tv, i cant see many people chipping in. Many will be paying just to watch their subscription service or Freeview.

@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.

@FreeviewAdvice we have three Freeview devices and each of them keep freezing for a couple of seconds. How do I fix this? I’ve tried retuning each of them but the issue is still there. I live in South Wales

(@MT_Kilpatrick) reported
Does anybody else with a Freeview PVR find programmes on the @Channel4 player freezing frequently for half a sec (but sound fine) ? Our @PanasonicUK is awful trying to watch a C4 series. Once in a blue moon it does it on BBC iPlayer too.

TV Licence: last time I checked, you couldn't watch TV without one (legally) and it was the only fee I paid for TV when I was younger. I had freeview, the fee may have funded the BBC, but it gave me access to so much more. Not bad value for me and I enjoy zero advert breaks.

(@WanderingSadu) reported
@Trampolinecare @bantalols Yep. They don't watch Freeview stuff. Even the concept of having to sit down to watch stuff at a specific time is laughable to them.

@Bob_Bobson66 you using Xplore? i just tried Kodi APK and that wont install either. So I suspect its more an issue with not installing than the freeview apk

@MattHuismanNZ @Orcon Both browser and TVNZ app work, but not through Freeview app. I have another live tv streaming service that uses IPTV Smarters and that has stopped working since the weekend. Wondering if the issues are linked.

@JonAshworth Pensioners like their BBC shows too. And people who live in (Tory) rural seats with poor broadband like Freeview too.

@SophieRose19x @sophielouisecc Might come as a surprise but ITV, C4 & C5 have managed fine with no public money for over 60,40&25 years. All free, never mind other channels on freeview, you know they use this thing called advertising, which if the BBC is as popular as they make out will have plenty of offers

@catherinerusse2 @Public_Campaign @NadineDorries Signed & RT'd! ✅ I only have Freeview channels so if we lost the BBC further down the the line I would lose a big chunk of my best viewing! Admittedly I could maybe use the licence money to buy something else...but is the quality of new content as good as the BBC?!🙄

@Stanhope2011VJ the last time they said they would make cuts they said BBC Three tv channel and the Asian Network radio would be cut in the end, they only took BBC Three off Freeview but they didn't cut the Asian Network radio station
