    @GBNfans Still not a great picture on my freeview. Don't know if it's their end or just a weak signal but needs to be HD. Something to go up against question time on Thursdays. More variety/presenters...its starting to get a bit "samey" all the time.

    So here's a thing, would the argument, Freeview is advertised as free and never mentions the required TV Licence stand up in a Court? Afterall, it's out there enforcing the false statement, "It's FREE" #DefundTheBBC

    @FreeviewAdvice @CWiddowfield_61 Hey Freeview I got a indoor Ariel but can't get any hd channels and I'm getting rather annoyed by how many I can get here in Barry ,vale of Glamorgan it's crap

  • KrisNewlands Kris Newlands (@KrisNewlands) reported

    Hello @Channel4 Do you have a Channel 4 HD + 1 on Freeview? Watching the F1 on C4+1 and really noticing the poor resolution.

  • korewatori Tori (@korewatori) reported

    @TheApsy17 @WechGangInt legit it's so ******* stupid. There's something called freeview that gives you access to quite a large amount of basic channels but I don't think that includes the BBC. The licence is required to watch anything produced by the BBC and to watch stuff when its broadcasted live

  • BrexitFoxy The People's Foxy 🦊 (@BrexitFoxy) reported

    @CraggsLewis @tvlicensing @tvlicensingnews If it's the live stream, as it's also a Freeview broadcast channel then yeah you need a TV licence. If you're just watching catch-up on-demand clips, then you don't need one. The law is stupid, but that's the way it is at the moment.

  • mjCurnow Martin Curnow (@mjCurnow) reported

    Dad hasn’t been able to watch @GBNEWS. Can’t watch on freeview as their TV signal is poor so they watch everything through Sky. And it’s GB News HD & screen message is to ring to upgrade. I did tell him the picture quality has been pretty dire & an embarrassment to HD TV.

  • VLeggeri ViaggiareLeggeri (@VLeggeri) reported

    Dear @FreeviewTV , You know how bad it feels, when you discover cat poo in the middle of your living room? Today I found GB News on Freeview, on my TV. Same feeling. Can you please clean up? @GBNews_Fails

  • VinnieVonStarr1 Vinnie Von Starr (@VinnieVonStarr1) reported

    @mitsyarty In these days of on-demand TV who still watches adverts? We keep being told how hard done by anyone who isn't white is, maybe the advertisers think they are the only ones so poor they can only afford Freeview?

  • CilantroElPerro Ryan Richardson (@CilantroElPerro) reported

    @Ambraneri You would think so, but a cursory Google suggests ITV 4 HD doesn't exist on Freeview and my TV seems to agree. Really you'd think HD would just be the standard now. There's barely any point broadcasting football in SD it looks that bad.
