  • bh_bryn Bryn (@bh_bryn) reported from Roby, England

    WiFi is down, only got Freeview TV. It's like living in 2011. Barbaric. Thank God there's football on ITV.

  • 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.

  • Toasty83 Dean (@Toasty83) reported

    @GregScottTV Uktv still broadcasting with a caption to turn over to bbc news earlier. Some Shopping channels down, Sky could have closed sky arts or pick on freeview with sky news in its place, They didn't, Showcase though are but it'd pay tv.

  • RobSmit12639238 Tech Man (@RobSmit12639238) reported

    @ImIncorrigible Not yet. Im preparing for at least a 2 week blackout of Radio when it happens. I'll check Nick Abbot's Fri/Sat podcast. Havent watched Freeview since 2015/Sky since 2017 so avoiding News wont be a problem. YT & the New US Drama's start end Sept 2022. I'll listen 2Old Nick A shows

  • MissCarrieW Carrie (@MissCarrieW) reported

    I've had Sky News on in the background today because my freeview seems to be broken. But I now really want the familiar voice of Huw Edwards. Don't think I am alone as iPlayer seems to have crashed too. #RIPQueenElizabeth

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie 🇺🇦 (@Brekkietweets) reported

    @a516digital Was wondering if it might be quietly forgotten. There are no plans to include BBC News though in theory it could probably be squeeze in as well. Must say though finding the Freeview HD signal far less reliable now than it used to be.

  • mackin_john John Mackin (@mackin_john) reported

    @Murphthered1 I've not been paying attention - whats been cancelled? I never watch terrestrial telly anyway. And don't have Sky or Freeview etc.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @RJT347287 @FreeviewTV Hi Richard, 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

  • under_toned Wendy Ogden-Hill (@under_toned) reported

    How to save money on #SKY. Just leave. When they offer you a deal to stay (the one they should have offered you as a loyal customer) say no. Leave. Get Amazon and Netflix and Freeview and save bundles. Oh, and after a couple of months I got offered SkyQ for £5 a month. Nope ta.

  • lee_is_wilde Lee (@lee_is_wilde) reported

    @IFLTV @Tyson_Fury @anthonyjoshua Can’t wait!!! … which freeview channel do we think it will be on? And how they going to issue the free tickets ? Lottery? I mean this is what Tyson said will happen right?

  • cancerdotje cancer.je (@cancerdotje) reported

    @dave_barton76 @ChildOfAlba @RussInCheshire A lot of people are in actual poverty and with very poor mental and/or physical health right now. Many of those people will be stuck with Freeview. I, for one, am genuinely worried about them right now. - Lorna

  • MaryJasper2 Mary Jasper (@MaryJasper2) reported from Penzance, England

    @GBNEWS I am subscribed to GB News on YouTube but can’t seem to get it live. Freeview 236 has no watchable signal this morning. Please can anyone advise?
