    @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.

    Watching the news, we now only have Freeview for real telly. When we had Virgin Media we got Points West. Delighted that we get Midlands today with @nickowentv. We don’t live in the midlands any more but never mind.

  • froddd Fred (@froddd) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice what’s the deal with @LGUK TVs not getting FreeView Play? One of their customer reps mentioned licensing issues, others say your developers are working on finishing apps for new TVs (odd, given those apps worked perfectly fine on same WebOS Last year). What gives?

  • snoop2003 John Wilson (@snoop2003) reported

    @BBCiPlayer hi. Is there a way to turn off the iplayer pop up notifications on freeview so they don’t interrupt the programme I’m watching please?

  • scog27 Stuart (@scog27) reported

  • AndyHal78102450 Andy Hale (@AndyHal78102450) reported

    @Argos_Online I have just purchased a TV - model ue43tu7020k. I was told by your customer service people that Freeview was available. I cannot download it. Have I been mislead ?

    @Caitcrafter @BT Hi, Freeview is the system BT use but I don't know enough about this as business do not currently offer the service. My colleagues in Residential @BT_UK do so I have tagged them in to reply if they can help. Thank you for highlighting this

    Hi @SKYNZ I don't know if you are aware of this, but is The Edge TV channel working on your side, because it's not working for people who have Freeview :(
