    @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.

    @Petwill1 It really is time Gold And Alibi were made Freeview channels I can't afford Sky or Virgin TV. I refuse to sign up to a streaming service. Most of the stuff on Gold has been played to death.

    @cleanfeed_ttvr @Ofcom I genuinely don't understand why Freeview seems to be resolutely stuck with DVBT1. Surely at this point the vast majority of STBs and TVs support DVBT2? We just need 1 mux with channels 1-5 & filler for SD only sets & finally let Freeview have a half decent picture quality again

  • orryverducci Orry Verducci (@orryverducci) reported

    @FactsStomp @cleanfeed_ttvr Depends when they updated the EPG. Sky updates within minutes. Freeview and Freesat can take a hour or two. Virgin doesn't support dynamic updates so only updates if it days ahead

    @FreeviewTV Hi, I wonder if someone could help - I live in the L1 postcode and there was a big power cut in our area that lasted a few hours on Thursday night. We haven't been able to get any Freeview channels since then/BBC, ITV etc. Could someone advise please? Ta.

  • IanRedman11 Ian Redman (@IanRedman11) reported

    @Brekkietweets @FreeviewTV Freeview is massively stuck in an SD slow lane, and by far the weakest of the TV platforms. Freesat is definitely the better of the two major free TV providers.

    @HumanityReality @TonyTcrawley666 @voodude64 There is. They are all availble on their own streaming apps like iPlayer All4 etc. What Kapang did was aggregate them all into one place. I had a look and their other channels are still working, just not the Freeview ones. This makes me suspect its a legal issue.
