    @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.

    I have 100 freeview channels on my tv. Tonight they are all showing utter crap.

    @Deano230 @AlStewartOBE It could have developed with FTA broadcasters as Freeview later did. Other problem is it never recovered financially from Sky switching to free box offer.

  • ButtonPiers Piers button (@ButtonPiers) reported

    @kategarraway @skytv Sometimes it is a simple reset that can fix it, turn off your Sky Box and broadband router, turn the router back on and wait for it to fully initialise, then turn on the Sky Box You should still be able to watch freeview if you plug the outside ariel directly into the TV.

  • nerdsville Andrew Garratt M0NRD 📻 (@nerdsville) reported

    @NigelBig @back_the_BBC @bbcemt weather forecast never mentioned the 'East' so assume a **** up somewhere - this just on satellite or affecting freeview too?

  • amara5500 🇬🇧 amara 🇬🇧 (@amara5500) reported

    @Iromg @talkRADIO Congratulations. We switched when LBC parted company with Nigel Farage. Rarely watch tv news these days. Moving to DAB+ not good, only own 1 radio that picks you up. A channel on Freeview might help

  • peter_melvyn Peter Melvyn714 (@peter_melvyn) reported

    FREEVIEW : My oh my, what a load of utter garbage is prevalent on freeview now, the number of repeats is totally unacceptable and the commercial breaks are getting longer and longer, as long as 20 MINUTES would you believe, and as for the shopping channels, too much junk

  • ABalharry62 AlisonB (@ABalharry62) reported

    Jeezo it's #ChristmasEve and not one good film on freeview channels aye appears bloody @skytv have hoovered up the rights to #Elf, aye the world is utter shite, aye I'll never be paying dosh to @skytv. Eh I've never bought a lottery ticket either, what a bloody racket that is 😡

  • Thoughtsforge 🗳 🇳🇿 Andy Payne 🆘 🇳🇿🙏 (@Thoughtsforge) reported

    Forced to watch Freeview and regular tv before flying out Thursday I’m shocked at how terrible tv has become. TVone, 2, and Three are worthless. I haven’t watched TV for years. It is clear to me NZ tv culture is largely responsible for dumbing down our population.

  • TonyMoretta Tony Moretta (@TonyMoretta) reported

    @AlStewartOBE ONdigital could have worked with right leadership/strategy. Look at Freeview. Rebranding & vanity channels arrogant, League deal stupid. I tried to do a deal with TiVo in 2000 which would have beaten Sky+ to market. Free channels + pay-lite + online would have found audience.

  • Huriye Huriye (@Huriye) reported

    @michaelhogan I'm reading from @New_Adventures that @SkyArts is now on Freeview channel 11, but when I tune in, it's still Pick channel. Any help please?

  • mattohare mattohare (@mattohare) reported

    @rtenews Too bad we can't get this in the North. Freeview blocks RTE and TG4. Tommy Gorman knows and supports it. He said so in a telephone call.
