  • 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.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital But your right with your answers, tech questions, you hit a brick wall, or harry hill, whom i never asked for in the first place, if freeview think theyve answered my problem, well!

  • stephen_parish Stephen Parish (@stephen_parish) reported

    @BBCNewsEnts Why not do things the other way around? Give Netflix a broadcast platform on Freeview and a Sky Digital subscription channel? This would help to fund traditional terrestrial and satellite broadcasting.

  • DJEmz1990 JigglyEmz (@DJEmz1990) reported

    so until i can afford the upfront fees im pretty much stuck with virgin, but Sky have offered me ok speeds i think it did include basic freeview style tv which i wont use and phone but it has a 3 year price fix and is only a third of what im paying now

  • LGUK LG UK (@LGUK) reported

    @jasondcoles Hi Jason, unfortunately LG and Digital UK were unable to reach an agreement for a Freeview Play device in time for the rollout of our 2020 TV range. However, we are working with the broadcasters to support the remaining UK catch-up apps as soon as possible. (1/2)

  • jennimcparland1 Jennifer McParland (@jennimcparland1) reported

    @TaraGrace_ I live in the north (in a city) and can’t even get many UK freeview channels because My service comes through a relay transmitter!

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital Ive reached the conclusion now, that reception in my location is poor, along with about 62 others. Dispite scripted advice from freeview. No it does not work. My parents live about a mile from me, they can get, oxford, sandy heath, crystal palace
