@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.

@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.

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.

On the Freeview “REALLY” channel at 9pm, “Who Killed Jeffery Epstein?”. I’ve never seen it before, but I bet the answers not Jeffrey Epstein.

@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.

@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

@jonnyt78 Not at all. Was supposed to be awful except from some certain sections of the media. Some of the games were of freeview over here as well, I didn’t have a clue

@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 hi there. Please see DMs sent to Freeview account asking for support with channels that don't show (weird D sign with \ on it next to them) including Sky News, Pick and others. Many thanks

@JamesTurner37 @timalmond So what if the person could only afford the TV subscription? Sounds like virgin media are holding customers to ransom in your complex and could be forcing other customers into debt especially with COL crisis at present. Try an indoor aerial and signal booster for freeview tv.

@LeadTestInclude We canned Virgin to go with Freeview plus Now Entertainment package. Still fairly cheap I guess. Just about enough programming that isn’t covered elsewhere. The NowTV box we have is rubbish. Awful interface (but it works - no channel numbers for freeview channels)

@dsoq They show it here in UK on Freeview talking pictures channel. I'd never seen it before.

@NNweather Please RT. Anyone in the NN2/NN3 area experiencing issues with their Freeview HD reception this weekend? Tried all the usual fixes but still dropping out every so often. I know O2 were doing some works in the area last week, so not sure if it's related to that.

@virginmedia But it has still been out for 13 days so far. Also having to use Virgin Mobile data to check for updates on what amounts to a very lacklustre service. A neighbour has had to spend over £200 to get a freeview aerial fitted just so that his wife doesn’t miss her soaps.

@bt_uk Just ordered, as previously had a failed install due to weak aerial signal. Are the freeview channels now over internet available to be recorded? Thanks

@LeafNetSco @cordbusters Hi Blake, Freeview and Freesat fall under the same Umbrella, however we operate as two entities as there is slight differences with equipment, signal delivery and channel location from Freeview to Freesat. Freeview currently do not offer Spotlight TV.

@Shannxo @ah99_____ And people seems to forget you can’t always go to matches for loads of different reasons like work, childcare, financial. The 3pm blackout should be abolished and the 3pm games should be broadcast on freeview

@furbabygirl Things are going to be so bad for me this winter that I am going to have to forsake my upgrade to a Crapple iPhone 15 pro plus and watch Freeview instead of HULU, paramount +, Netflix and SKY Sport. I don't think I will survive past Grimbletide!
