  • 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.

    @virginmedia Why is the basic package so expensive when it's such a poor offering??? Making Freeview look good!!. How do we finish our contracts??? Website down, and staff saying systems down ring back. You aren't worth the £.. especially now!

  • tangent_tgt Joe Wallis (@tangent_tgt) reported

    @BlankOpenspace @FreeviewAdvice No terestrial TV channels at all in my area LU5 - LU6 and still freeview say everything is perfect. In reality, freeview has been getting worse and worse ever since the so called improvements all this year but today freeview has absolutely "NO" signal at all.

    @rossaverde @BBCTees @amy_oakden The BBC applies for grants to help fund its research into broadcasting technology that has contributed to developments such as Freeview and DAB digital radio. In 2017-18 it received a grant from the EU of €1,282,331 (£1,145,572).

  • NathanRuss79 Nathan Russell (@NathanRuss79) reported

    @patwewonuk @LBC @NickFerrariLBC i dont even see a takeaway or a mobile phone in that image just two people holding a sky remote which we know continues to work for freeview without prescription, sounds like he just likes punching down and hangs onto tired old tropes

    Anyone watching the programme about #Periods at 9pm ewwww !! So crap on TV tonight, I mean for #Freeview that is... probably #Blaze for me 👽🛸

  • liambrazier Liam Brazier (@liambrazier) reported

    Potentially stupid question but (in the UK) you need an aerial or dish for Freeview/sat TV right? You can’t get that over cable or just WiFi??

  • justacwab Just Another Cyclist (@justacwab) reported

    @4Viewers Is there a known issue with All4 on Freeview Play? I cant log on - can enter my email address, but the keys don’t register when putting in the password. Any ideas?
