  • 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.

  • Aprilhouse23 Chris Morgan (@Aprilhouse23) reported from Higher Kinnerton, Wales

    @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.

  • Sal_P_72 Salvatore Pugliese (@Sal_P_72) reported

    @fiona_skywalker Oh, that was just freeview, it's spams me with red button **** because the TV is connected to my LAN

  • Kolakube_5 Emma (@Kolakube_5) reported

    @UncannyVal No I think it’s just freeview being ****. Not entirely sure. Can only get bbc, itv and c4 and their digital channels for some reason and nothing else. The channels weren’t working and retuning just lost them altogether?!

  • LeafNetSco Blake (Leaf Networks 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿) (@LeafNetSco) reported

    @steeleyp_ @BigJohnnyArcher Found out it's a user as a backup for Freeview in case your broadband is down

  • skyblue_England skyblue_england 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧 (@skyblue_England) reported

    @BBC The viewing public should not be forced to fund a service they have not chosen, just so they can watch Freeview on their own television sets. Like Amazon Prime and Netflix, the BBC should now compete in the marketplace and offer a subscription service. #defundthebbc

  • rxtv_info RXTV Info (@rxtv_info) reported

    ▶ Channel List Management provides an alternative channel list via the internet to compatible devices and allows broadcasters to do a SD/HD switch. ▶ But the functionality was only added to Freeview Play recently, so not all Freeview Play devices are guaranteed to support this.

  • aljwatson Alex Watson (@aljwatson) reported

    @send_it_baby @MartinSLewis Why would the BBC become a subscription service? Which other public services should be optional subscriptions? How do you make the radio a subscription service? What about people who watch the BBC through FTA Freeview boxes? How do you paywall that? Why would you even want to?

    @MattyBray007 As in I thought freeview was a description for something like a streaming service. I’ll quit while I’m behind.
