  • Bluebird0309 CllrJillHoulbrook (@Bluebird0309) reported from Chester, England

    I have 100 freeview channels on my tv. Tonight they are all showing utter crap.

  • 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.

  • gold123win reg morris (@gold123win) reported from Neston, England

  • willis_talks Wayne Willis 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈🌏🌳🎹🎙️🚶‍♂️💡🐾 (@willis_talks) reported from City of Kingston upon Hull, England

    I'm again having endless issues with #BBC #freeview channels not working in #Hull. I watch via @NOWTV box but I think it's a regional antenna issue. Is anyone else in Hull / Humber having trouble with receiving BBC channels?

  • TheOnlyLinsay Cupid Stunt 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@TheOnlyLinsay) reported

    Wow... freeview is **** but in this case, beggars cannot be choosers

  • Takethatjoe Gerald Smith 🤢 (@Takethatjoe) reported

    @Ange_9_ @darrengrimes_ So you think advertising is going to raise an extra £3.7 billion? The BBC share maintenance of freeview, freeview is the biggest digital platform and you casually say they’ll go subscription, not everyone has a fast reliable broadband service and you’re assuming millions

  • Stephowd Stephanie Howard (@Stephowd) reported

    @LordFrodsham @HackedOffHugh A surprising number of people in this discussion don’t seen to be aware that the license fee doesn’t just cover the BBC but 70 Freeview channels & all radio. Anyone who doesn’t want to pay the fee can disconnect their TV, watch Sky Sport down the pub and Netflix on their computer

  • lofty2401 🌻 David 🌻 (@lofty2401) reported

    @DuncanLindsay @MrDavidEBrown @MetroUK An hours news??? Not necessary bearing in mind the BBC news is 24 hours as is Sky news, both on Freeview. I’m sorry but this is bad scheduling.

  • PCarmichaelVO Paul Carmichael (@PCarmichaelVO) reported

    @coster_ray @WonPeople Incidentally the subscription model, as you must know, cannot work with Freeview (the most popular way for the poor and elderly to access television). So they’re a tad screwed aren’t they?

  • semtexsue SemtexSue ⛄🦀🏊‍♀️🧜‍♀️💙🏳️‍🌈 (@semtexsue) reported

    @thewelshteacup Ugh. Poor you. Have you retuned your digital tvbox? New freeview channel 7, That's TV. 70s night. It's fab. Worth not sleeping for!

  • sgordon_the87 Ste Gordon (@sgordon_the87) reported

    @russty_russ In SD it’s on 231, but on HD it’s 107. I’m not sure how that works but there you go. RT’s HD service isn’t too far behind it on Freeview either.

  • NeilRBowers Neil Bowers (@NeilRBowers) reported

    @skytv Hi, Sky Arts is available on FreeView but I get very poor TV reception. How can I watch it online? I have a TV Licence.

  • mosiestearn Maureen Stearn (@mosiestearn) reported

    Watching FREEVIEW Drama channel last evening, Inspector Lynley. Used 2B a 2-hour slot. Last night it was still a 2-hour slot BUT with every 10 minutes of drama there were 5 minutes of adverts. Almost an hour's worth of drama cut out. Most of it made no sense at all.
