  • 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.

    @drewhill79 @VodafoneUK @MattJConnor @StHKHIS Same here. BT got the 150 mb and it flies. Good support and I stream everything!! Don’t even have normal freeview.

  • Williamson_Irl Craig Williamson (@Williamson_Irl) reported from Neillstown, Leinster

    @lordbambitoyou Picking up the UK Freeview signal then I'd say!

  • FramptonRoz Roz Frampton (@FramptonRoz) reported

    @NadineDorries @BBC @FreeviewTV Nadine, please sort out Freeview. People can't access TV or have total blackout so often! This last fortnight or so, it hadn't worked most of the time. Most people don't report outages because they don't know where to do so &/or can't. Get sorted!

  • FramptonRoz Roz Frampton (@FramptonRoz) reported

    @FreeviewTV People shouldn't waste their money. Freeview ourages have been horrendous recently. You note a few most reports but don't list all the areas affected, which include most of the country. No access to TV at all is most recorded complaint but many have total blackout. Make it work!

  • MarkL00775 Mark L (@MarkL00775) reported

    @MartinSLewis Why pay for a service when there are so much free? Try Pluto tv (free) some great stuff on there if can't find anything to watch on freeview

  • quidditys_shore Stuart Galloway (@quidditys_shore) reported

    @MartinSLewis We only started a paid service with disney+ 2 years ago. Last year we shared with my brother & sister (not allowed but not stopped yet!) so works out £91 per household. But me & my wife hardly watch anything so we'll be dropping out. Freeview is all we really watch & have a pvr

  • Sarah_Lady Sarah Lady💙 (@Sarah_Lady) reported

    @BazTheHaff Yeah that’s the problem, we can’t usually get a picture properly with freeview so just stream all our telly through the apps.

  • FramptonRoz Roz Frampton (@FramptonRoz) reported

    @FreeviewTV Wish Freeview would focus on getting it to work! Outages yet again! The map shows many outages, yet it states no problems. Shows reports, then places a red line above those reports & says only outages above the red line. Showing 'No Service' repeatedly is not good enough.

  • AlDumas6 AlDumas (@AlDumas6) reported

    @MartinSLewis Don’t have any streaming services. I can watch a couple of hundred channels of utter crap on freeview/freesat or free online, or pay stupid money to watch several thousand channels of even more utter crap.

  • sandralacey2 sandra lacey (@sandralacey2) reported

    @FreeviewTV the last few days i have had difficulty in using the apps on my freeview play telly, all of a sudden all the apps are in one long line and i cannot access anything from them, could you please put them back to what they were;i did not have a problem then Thank you.

  • manusj Manny (@manusj) reported

    @mrcookie_jay @looksunfamiliar I saw a few recently on some obscure freeview channel. The Kremmen segments are Cosgrove hall? I think. But bad. Terribly bad!!!
