    People who have Freeview - is it just a one off cost for the box or subscription and can you record stuff? (Am trying to figure out tv options and can't get virgin and sky i think you need a dish. Aerial is crap here)

    @Anth_Peace @JewelKnightJess its on Freeview, also they have their own on demand service that is free.

  • AnneCardwell4 Anne Cardwell (@AnneCardwell4) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Thank you for your response. I've been having problems with Freeview for months, so I'm not impressed with the service, and so many repeats, that we've already paid for. Regards Anne.

    @Randominium @Daodaoldn @ajcdeane A TV Licence covers you to: watch or record TV on any channel via any TV service (e.g. Sky, Virgin, Freeview, Freesat) watch live on streaming services (e.g. ITVX, All 4, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Now, Sky Go) use BBC iPlayer*. This applies to any device.

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie (@Brekkietweets) reported

    @WhoPotterVian I never had an issue with ITV Hub but ITVX just crashes all the time. Took their advice eventually and uninstalled it and reloaded it and now it doesn't work at all. And it works on less devices than it did before - even on a new Freeview Play device bought just last year

    @space_librarian @libmichelle We never went above BBC Four on Freeview, unless it’s a hop to Cbeeies - thank god that worked. Our home-made internet was actually better than the BT provider, but our booster aerials were in the church spire and the pub… which made Teams calls weird in lockdown

  • HeadingtonBard Alex Aris (@HeadingtonBard) reported

    Is anyone having problems with @FreeviewTV at the moment through an aerial? We've only got 53 channels and can't get channels 1-6 either. #television #freeview #tv

    @mikechildmusic Hi Mike, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview Reception. So, we can investigate this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

    Watch Vanessa on Sky 522, Virgin 606 and Freeview 237 from 4pm-7pm: 🔸 Is Gary Lineker damaging the BBC? 🔸 Police Federations asks for 17% pay rise for officers. 🔸 Hancock was told to turn down China Covid lab leak claims.

  • BrittasFan The Brittas Empire Fanpage (@BrittasFan) reported

    @scott_gamer @Page_888 @dramachannel I can't watch Gold, because we only have Freeview. Is it true that they air never-ending repeats of Only Fools and Horses?

  • ProudPatriot478 ProudPatriot478 (@ProudPatriot478) reported

    @Dnewton99886451 @ColinBrazierTV Unfortunately you still need a licence if you watch Freeview. I don't even have that. I don't have an aerial & just have the Netflix, Prime, Disney & YouTube apps on my tv. I have the Apple TV app atm as I get it free with my phone contact til mid April but I never even watch it.
