    Freeview Anyone else having problems with receiving a signal? I cannot get anything not even radio?

  • anjack91 anita Jaeckel (@anjack91) reported

    @possetrobbo5 @n_groom Wrong. If you watch or record 'live' TV on any channel – either through your TV or through a website or app – then you need a TV licence. This applies whether you receive Freesat, Freeview or a pay-TV service in your home.

    I don't want to pile on, but I think that anyone setting up an independent freeview channel about anything in an age where linear TV is on the decline is pretty ******* stupid tbh.

    FFS, given up on @virginmedia to get a decent picture of the match on BBC1 HD. Terrible signal, reset the box and everything. such a pity. I guess they can't handle the demand or maybe someone near me extended their cable themselves this afternoon. Freeview for the match it is

    @a516digital And I've just checked up, what a surprise vision + is no longer available. I think there was 40 paid for channels. Can,t remember exactly because I never used it. Due to the problems with freeview.

    @jimwaterson Dont forget shutting down. Their sky and freeview slots are worth money. I give it until end of August.

    Tech folk... How can it be that Freesat is ahead of Freeview? Do I just have a really crap Freeview TV?

  • Mark_Ma77 Mark 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@Mark_Ma77) reported

    @MSwift94 Honestly think a better solution to get people into cricket (I presume this is what it's for) would be to just put more normal cricket and more t20 cricket on freeview telly.

    Twitter! Help! How can Nic’s grandma watch the game without any apps on a tablet? Are there any free Freeview streams she can watch via Safari? She’s in hospital and doesn’t know how to download apps 😭

  • LeonSymnz Leo (@LeonSymnz) reported

    @toobbroadband All the clowns complaining they can't watch it... Either watch it on Freeview/sky/VM or on your phone/tether. Stop making such a ******* fuss you clowns That said, communication would have been nice. Any ETA? Or info on the issue?
