    Virgin tv and broadband gone down yet again. Resorting to Freeview right now. The picture quality is actually much better than Virgin...AND no glitches and constant picture breakup!!

  • 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.

    @englandcricket IS it going to be broadcast in England as the test match was? I can't see it in the Freeview listings(?). Or is it merely another narrow cast to some subscription service or other?

  • jsinclair29 James Sinclair (@jsinclair29) reported

    @JanetMcwee We have no aerial, have satellite dish that we use for FreeSat. Took the thing down a few years back was thinking of putting it back up to get Freeview, new one.

    @CellaH26 @PastorJimberoo3 I no longer listen to the biggest gobshite in the country. This is 1+ reason why I do not. Nolan & BBCNI working together. I no longer wish to contribute to their salary. Plz anyone point me to alternative service where i can watch freeview channels without paying BBCNI. Thx!

    @FifiOink Haha. First discovered can't watch live on Freeview app, then tried to make an account which wouldn't work, finally managed to hack my own account and then finally buffering issues 😭

  • JanetMcwee Brixham Belle (@JanetMcwee) reported

    @duncanda51 yes we have never used Freeview

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    @geo_geo_geo1971 @BBCOne Seems to be an issue with your TV provider, as this doesn't happen on Freeview.

  • cynicalgranny1 Linda (@cynicalgranny1) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi can you advise on whether we will be able to receive the new News GB channel when it starts. As our signal is from a small sub transmitter we do not receive all the current freeview channels anyway which is really annoying.

  • o_0yusuf Yusuf (@o_0yusuf) reported

    @WeHateDiana I never had these shows I had freeview

  • angelauk1900 Angela🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧 (@angelauk1900) reported

    @JanetMcwee I haven't had a TV aerial for about 20 years. No longer have a Sky box so I watch Freesat via TV ( similar to Freeview) and stream everything else, catchup, iplayers, netflix etc via internet although I do subscribe to NOW TV which is a Sky streaming service.

    @kaybar007 Any broadcast service - satellite, cable, or Freeview - has to obey the Ofcom size rules, no matter what technology they use. The examples you give of services like Netflix are online services, not broadcast, and not regulated by Ofcom.
