  • 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.

    @EinCymru Yep it is true - can't get it on any Freeview service (might with Sky) - so annoying - have choice of North West or West Mids.

  • AlanWOODHEAD7 Alan WOODHEAD (@AlanWOODHEAD7) reported

    @RomanUWSB ...... We Allso have small freeview digital boxes that convert old analogue t. v. 's with scarts to new sygnal. Totally free. One off buy box and install payment. Bad side is if you watch live t. v. You have to pay a yearly licence fee to BBC. Around £138. A year...

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @SharynCase_ Hi Sharyn, I am sorry to hear that you having issues with your Freeview reception. So we can look into this further can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number?

  • VIPlatinum Bill O (@VIPlatinum) reported

    @neil1886 @ChrisHazzardSF The RTE Freeview signal is not good enough for large swathes of the country to watch RTE.

  • dongapalouza Dongapalouza (°!°) (@dongapalouza) reported

    @syd_rochelle Ok, I see you asked this 8 years ago, and have almost certainly found out since then but I can't help responding... the answer is yes, yes they did! And it's now back on TV, on Freeview, on 'Forces TV'. Enjoy!

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital It's a shame I cant get freeview where I live, as I would have liked to report how com 7 reception is. But it's been poor for a few weeks now, from what others told me.

  • TomJone58318019 Tom Jones (@TomJone58318019) reported

    @joti261 @Nigel_Farage @GBNEWS Typical idiot Remoaner, you must have found a way to cancel your Freeview then because it's on there too.

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie (@Brekkietweets) reported

    With a rising British star it's important her finals are accessible free to air. Eurosport may use Quest for them, but they're likely to lose their HD channel soon thanks to slow and regressive progress on switching Freeview to HD.

  • JasonAtDavid Jason Stone (@JasonAtDavid) reported

    @FollowerAndy0 @jimwaterson Yes but won't piping it through Sky, Freeview etc massively mitigate the risk of it breaking down?

  • stuart10006 Stuart Harrison (@stuart10006) reported

    @annafriel Just a heads up that a repeat showing of the series "Broken" starts tonight at 9.20 pm on Channel 20 (Drama) on Freeview in the UK. That's all.

  • mrledders ian leadbetter (@mrledders) reported

    @Dolly_Darren Ok. Mine did the same to me. I switched it off at the mains (along with the Freeview box), promised never to watch ITV3 again, left it for about an hour and when I switched it back on it came back to life. Sadly, not designed to last now!
