    @thefish64 @psychpolis Never used them in the U.K. Freeview was enough + NowTV, Netflix and Prime. My fibre broadband was BT.

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi. I'm in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk and my freeview is pretty unwatchable. I keep retuning but it makes no difference. Earlier I had no ITV which is ridiculous. Can you please help?

    @WilliamNB @tvlicensing We had loads of them letters when we lost our regional TV transmitter and every single person with just Freeview service cancelled their direct debits. It was over a million households for Teesside and little further away. They then targeted OAP's with letters 1/2
