  • 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.

  • Article5014 🏴‍☠️ Article_50 #FBPE 🏴‍☠️💙 (@Article5014) reported

    @LoubinWally @virginmedia Increase every April by CPI/RPI + 500% You know, these days there is an awful lot of old stuff on TV/streaming that is pretending to be new & it is going to take time for actual new content to catch up. I'm seriously considering just freeview & stable, unlimited broadband

  • JoolzZenda Joolz (@JoolzZenda) reported

    Great time for my TV to lose the freeview signal 🙃 #Eurovision2021

  • simonglynjones Simon G Jones (@simonglynjones) reported

    @bbceurovision getting really fed up with sound issues on #Freeview - every time Graham Norton comes in the volume drops out! Grrrr! #Eurovision2021

  • BarbaraRowley7 Barbara Rowley (@BarbaraRowley7) reported

    @bagga2007 Oh no! Do you have devices for streaming and an internet connection that’ll support it? The Freeview channels all have free apps to watch their programs. They should tide you over until you replace the TV.

  • Dave_Cotterill1 In Search Of Dave (@Dave_Cotterill1) reported

    @LozMccarthy @bakerstherald @Clarethemuse Freeview channel 236? That's ok, I don't click down that far.

  • pdockerty Paul Dockerty - 🇬🇧 (@pdockerty) reported

    Does anyone know if @GBNEWS will be available through Sky Q? Or will I need to flip the TV to freeview (which I never do normally) to watch it?

  • Crocidolite11 Crocidolite (@Crocidolite11) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Yep will be doing. Just noticed you’ve also put up my bill to over £100 now without any notice. I’ll contact to cancel you can come collect your equipment and I’ll go freeview. Absolutely shocking prices.

  • TonyJWells TJ is not hiking (@TonyJWells) reported

    @smolrobots Fires up the Roku. So probably 60 seconds behind the freeview signal.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital Why freeview charge such extrodanary amounts I never know. Knowing dad, he will keep the sky, and ditch freeview if it's too much.

  • tran_d87 David Tran (@tran_d87) reported

    @bt_uk So what do I do now? just wait until Freeview fixes the outage?
