  • 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.

  • Toffeewolfie Philip whitehurst (@Toffeewolfie) reported from Liverpool, England

    @rlwjones @Nick_Metcalfe @MarkyBunny They made one champions League game per round free to air..usually the crap games though..they used to have a channel on Freeview..

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • elear48 LesleyR. 🌎🌸🇪🇺 (@elear48) reported

    @christop_hall @virginmedia Yes. Had Virgin cable TV for a number of years and enjoyed it but costs kept rising. When I reduced services the cost went up! So decided to cancel and just do Freeview. Then the real "leaving problems" began. Nightmare. Never regretted going though and Freeview is fine.

  • baileys36 Jenny Lewis (@baileys36) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I've already done this and you said to contact Restore tv so I think it's just freeview that is rubbish as I'm always having problems even though i have a filter fitted

  • feetsby Colin Troy 🇺🇦 (@feetsby) reported

    @NMBCo @hardistymark Pretty sure East Midlands Today is a standard definition signal slapped into an HD channel. Just got freeview to save money, back to the ol’ ‘High Def not available in your area’ message. If we want to see our news broadcasters in high def, we have to see them down the pub.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @jenessa93 @FreeviewTV Hi Jenessa, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview Reception. So, we can investigate this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • Paulsmccann Paul (@Paulsmccann) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Please tell me why, when I contacted you for social tariff BB for my daughter your sales guy never heard of it and could only do it with Sky Q and only freeview. Will be phoning you just after 12pm

  • brightsider123 Helen #TacticalVoter #GTTO🌻🇺🇦🕊🙏 (@brightsider123) reported

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @Dianne1963 @TPTVEncore Hi Dianne, the red button works on TVs that are connected to the internet. If yours is connected to the internet and it still isn't working, please give the Freeview helpline a ring at 03456 505050 and they should be able to advise you further. Thanks for the all the support!

  • Bodyfirst_PT Lee Webb (@Bodyfirst_PT) reported

    @beverleyturner @virginmedia Mine is going up £15, I shall be seeking someone else to provide my internet and cutting down on my channels to just Freeview

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    @UKChristmasTV Full listings now on Freeview guide too. I notice that a shopping strand on HobbyMaker has a Closing Down Sale, I guess they may have noticed that there is more demand for content on Sewing Street and Hobby Maker on the channel.
