    If anyone needs a football fix Copenhagen are playing some other Danish club behind closed doors on Freeview 64...... is this what it’s come to😂

  • AndyMcK1982 Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @jaxlfc_jj @YaTerrynorris70 It’s not restricted to the BBC. If you watch or record live TV on any channel - either through your TV or through a website - then you need a TV licence. This applies whether you receive Freesat, Freeview or a pay-TV service in your home, & whether or not you watch BBC channels.

    @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

  • PaulW_1 Paul Williams✈️ (@PaulW_1) reported from Sale, England

    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

  • PhilJBowers Phil Bowers (@PhilJBowers) reported

    @UncleStanBoslom Not to my knowledge - we did have some intermittent problems on the FM transmitter in the week before but nothing we were aware of on the day. Was she listening FM, DAB or Freeview?

  • rozjonez Ros Jones (@rozjonez) reported

    @drbenbrown @AyoCaesar I was pleasantly surprised by that, too! Speaking of production values, tTVlooks awful on SD Freeview, but quite OK via HD Youtube. The bombastic graphics look about 20 years out of date.

  • greysetter greysetter (@greysetter) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice After watching All4 on Freeview, we switch back to live TV, but the sound is missing. We have to turn everything off at the mains then on again, to make the sound return. Can you advise a better way /how to avoid this problem ?

  • RossMc11 Ross McKay (@RossMc11) reported

    @jamiesont @SteveDoherty1 Way down the end of the news channels on Sky, and they're the very last two on Freeview before you get to streaming, text and adult. And that's assuming people have updated their channel lists to get it.

  • dttft4 Clem Fandango (@dttft4) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I'm having some trouble getting BBC News HD (107) on Freeview in London. The channel appears very glitchy, making it difficult to watch. Can you help? Happy to DM you my post code once you allow sending you messages.

  • RDiz82 Dizzle🇳🇱 (@RDiz82) reported

    So @virginmedia, do you think it acceptable to have us, a loyal 9 year customer, who asked to downgrade, removing Sky Sports/Movies from the package to now having basic Freeview channels, but now charging us £75 PER MONTH for the so called privilege??

  • an_dy_moo_dy ACRᵍᵐ - (Accidental Carriage Return) (@an_dy_moo_dy) reported

    @TalkTV Typed the wrong number into Freeview, lasted 3 minutes. Terrible

  • ajacksost Alan Jackson’s Worldview (@ajacksost) reported from Bristol, England

    @MarkC0011 @brianmoore666 Absolutely. It’s channel 237 on Freeview. Who in Britain scrolls to a channel anywhere that far down?
