    @NickPye10 @GBNEWS Could do with an HD version on freeview, apart from that and the to be expected teething issues it’s ok

  • 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.

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I've got the DM. I've tried for another transmitter but nothing. Guess waiting game or Sky subscription, shame was enjoying Freeview service

  • BusinessBullet1 Business Bulletin (@BusinessBullet1) reported

    @timmckane If you watch daytime Freeview TV, then you could be zombies in no time - it's that bad, no wonder the Englanders think Bozo is Brill

  • WhosThatGav ɢᴀᴠɪɴ 💫 (@WhosThatGav) reported

    @dimwittedly @Forces_TV A retune should fix it. On Freeview the programme map changes from time to time, and it can cause you to lose channels. So you need to retune, to keep the "map" up-to-date.

  • lucyinldn Lucyinldn (@lucyinldn) reported

    @SamsungUK bad enough I lost access to BBC HD freeview channels when I bought a Samsung TV, but now all BBC channels have gone? Is it a London transmitter issue or part of the continued fall out between Samsung and BBC? @BBCOne

  • dwy6613 Dan Young (@dwy6613) reported

    Well, that's one way of clearing the 16 films on my Freeview recorder... After almost 10 years of good service it died today, taking the recorded films with it. Just ordered a replacement (and a new stereo to replace the 22 year old one that keeps skipping when playing CDs)

  • PrivateParts16 Private Parts now self id as a Jammie Dodger (@PrivateParts16) reported

    @DefundBBC I look at #freeview TV schedule a couple of times a week & rarely find anything I want to watch on any of the channels. But I'm an old ***. My son NEVER bothers with the main TV at all. Tablet, pc or phone is where he & his peers view content. #bbc etc take note.

  • hopecollins_x hope 🪐 (@hopecollins_x) reported

    @emilypacifier2 I’ve just never seen the programme ever 😭 I am a peasant who only has freeview so maybe that’s why hahahahahaha
