  • 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.

  • susanna_tayler Susanna Tayler (@susanna_tayler) reported

    @HumaxUK I have an HDR-1800T Freeview recorder and I can't watch the programme I'm recording because there's no sound. Very disappointing. Is there a fix for this?

  • mmaconachie Martyn Maconachie (@mmaconachie) reported

    I don't like to be the bearer of bad news, but my EPG on Freeview is now saying #TOTP is not on until 9:30, and it's not the 13th December episode.

  • beylul15 bey (@beylul15) reported

    damn i haven’t watched freeview tv in a while & I don’t know how to feel about that 😭

  • TheRealAJYoung AJ Young 💙 🇪🇺 🏳️‍🌈😷 (@TheRealAJYoung) reported

    @ChefGarethS Cheers. I did think of a factory reset, but Freeview are going to check it out in case it's a problem in the area.

  • StrictlyOsprey Mark Jones (@StrictlyOsprey) reported

    @RuthElleson I think part of the problem is there used to be two Red Button channels on Freeview to cover the two tables. That and the statement BBC4 is no longer for original programming so at least it’s not a repeat!

  • bradfordlad5 John, a modest genius 💙 (@bradfordlad5) reported

    @KellyKn32782125 @MrsSMHI @FoolOfLondon If you watch anything on Freeview then it’s from same transmission network all paid from licence, sort of an access fee.

  • airlineboy666 Graham (@airlineboy666) reported

    @janetrmason @BBCBreakfast @sallynugent I suspect most of those families have full sky packages, iPhones and other luxuries. We eat well and cheaply BUT I have to use Freeview and I cannot afford a £100's top rated phone. My families goes without nothing BUT we live to our means. I witness many who claim to be poor...
