    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.

    @gordon_dudgeon @profsked @edglasgow59 I read you can delete the BBC from your Freeview by having a piss down the back of your TV. Haven't tried it myself, but let me know how you get on.

  • hischeekiness CheekyMcB (@hischeekiness) reported

    @Mark56623345 @a516digital The OFCOM EPG rules brought in in January this year mean PSB channels have to be in the Top 24 EPG slots at least, so 124 is the absolute lowest for Sky BBC3 broadcast return. The rules coming in were why all the Freeview channels shuffled down 1 for BBC4 getting 24 in Scotland.

  • WatsonJKnights Watson J.Knights (@WatsonJKnights) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice No freeview signal in Surrey. Well I say none there is a smattering of channels that have badly broken up pictures that could be classed as art.

  • Mike2677024465 Mike_in_Yorkshire (@Mike2677024465) reported

    @argentstwarrio1 @Jessrocks71 @GBNEWS No freeview signal where I am, hoping it will be on sky/freesat soon.

  • PaulGallant11 Paul Gallant (@PaulGallant11) reported

    @Will68796790 I have for many years paid through Xbox as I am a carer for my Mother who watches freeview channels on the other TV I use my Xbox one to view BT Sports, and I would not risk using link's as they are unstable not on Xbox

  • Ninjafairy2 Wendy-Jane #3569 #ActuallyAutistic #FBIW #FBPE (@Ninjafairy2) reported

    @SpudFromDublin @Hookademus @MattAndo63 Sorry to jump in ... but our BT box is connected to our rooftop aerial. My older freeview tv in other room is too for freeview channels (& only 21 tv channels at that) . Signal goes down quite often. No dish. No cable.

  • Reed88Mr Lewis Reed (@Reed88Mr) reported

    Anyone else’s freeview completely shut down?? @FreeviewTV #freeviewdown

  • ChrisDod1 solarSteve (@ChrisDod1) reported

    There's a new TV news station on the block starting soon on Freeview etc. GB News. #GBnews To show your support for a healthy alternative to the usual BBC/ITN/Ch4/Sky News channel, search "New British... " on Facebook

  • hammer_mo Mo (@hammer_mo) reported

    @AllisterHeath Of course GMB will be balanced. Red meat for the right on the freeview channel, alternative views on the premium pay to view service. I cannot wait to find out which advertisers have gambled on a launch-day slot.

  • MerpsOver9000 TYC_merp (@MerpsOver9000) reported

    @BlackPanthaaYT @lomadia The app on the family polaroid tv sucks but we got a Freeview box and the app on there works fine. I like watching videos on my laptop but when listening to music I prefer chrome casting to the tv
