    @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.

    BBC News HD being taken of Freeview is a major loss. Poor show, @BBC.

    @drmichaelhooper There used to be the freeview app to watch live tv but all the companies wanted their own apps. They started with no sign in, then facebook, then removing that to capture more.

    @Stuart_NashMP Not only is the customer service rubbish, but the Freeview forums where there are messages about the issue from other people, Freeview seem to not care in the slightest. I am almost about to give up and flag free to air altogether. the news and shows I watch are unwatchable

  • francophile2004
    Rosalind Peacock (@francophile2004) reported

    @cindyclareb @nedboulting ps get yourself a Freesat/Freeview box from Amazon. About £30. Works a treat...

    @Stuart_NashMP I understand you are in charge of Freeview. Just letting you know that I have an issue that a number of people are experiencing, but all communications with Freeview go into the void, I have msg'd them 4 times and called them 4 times. No response from any of them

    @thefulltoss @hainba67 Participation numbers in all sports are in decline regardless of whether its on freeview tv. The downward trend has been since the late 1980s. My research shows its more likely down to the fact sport is not played in state schools rather than tv.

    @HumaxUK FVP_5000T. Cannot go backwards in the EPG anymore. Players screen often doesn't launch properly, giving me no way into Freeview Play providers. Live TV app doesn't work properly and hasn't been updated in years. Any plans to fix any of this? #humax

    Warning, stupid question incoming, does a Freeview tele just simply plug into an old skool aerial?? My mum wants a new TV but doesn’t have cable. I’m assuming so? I’ve had cable since the early 90s so haven’t had to faff on with aerials for 30 odd years !!!
