  • 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.

    @danmooreradio @a516digital On Freeview bandwidth is an issue. But also still a fair number of SD only boxes out there.

  • PBfromDevon Paul Bennett (@PBfromDevon) reported

    @BBCNews Oh poor thing diddums! When I was 20 you didn't have "Freeview" or a single channel to watch for nothing. And you went out when you could afford it. That encouraged you to work to better yourself. Zero sympathy.

  • Matt3590 Matthew Henderson (@Matt3590) reported

    @Jimboblue6 Call them and tell them you want to cancel your license as you only stream programming, nothing live inc. Freeview. Get rid of all aerials. They'll check in once in a while to confirm your still not watching live tv.

  • PigottColin Coliwolli (@PigottColin) reported

    Yep, usual pain in the arse as soon as the weather changes! Can’t watch anything in our area! About time you lot fessed up and admitted your incapable of sending a Freeview signal to all areas?

  • moaningbrit1 Moaning *** (@moaningbrit1) reported
