  • magj2187 BigTasty🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏉🐑 Aka Matt Jeffery. (@magj2187) reported from Shotton, Wales

    @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.

  • PeterNimmo1 Peter Nimmo (@PeterNimmo1) reported

    @StewartMcDonald @Ofcom I had assumed that RT’s disappearance from Freeview was down to UK actions (Ofcom). Turns out it was the EU!

  • BeguilingFellow Steven Desmond (@BeguilingFellow) reported

    @Forces_TV Sadly nothing right now, as there's no signal on some Freeview channels (including Forces TV) in CM21 area at the moment :(

  • Farfields_0x04 John 3VaxDermott *🌻🇺🇦* 🇬🇧🇳🇿 (@Farfields_0x04) reported

    @Yekki_1 Use Freeview box with antenna where you can get a convenient signal and check the remote will work at that distance, then hdmi wireless extender to your TV. Not elegant though.

  • misscepayne Carolyn Payne (@misscepayne) reported

    @CarrieHFletcher Literally dreading the day I have to upgrade the telly! I don’t know how any of it works! And I haven’t even entered the realm of the smart tv yet! We just have freeview! That’s it! Good luck! And sorry for the lack of help x

  • SatwantBee Satwant Bee (@SatwantBee) reported

    @rlrossi64 Good question. I'm guessing: network television; broadcast TV; digital TV channels; Freeview. Creates a distinction between those and streaming services, I guess.

  • MickeyMcCartney Michael McCartney (@MickeyMcCartney) reported

    @StevenFlavell1 I've lost that channel the last time I did a retune of Freeview, signal is always very weak Oop North. BAH!

  • kelaher զʊǟռȶʊʍ (@kelaher) reported

    @je_au @MichaelWestBiz I agree on the conditional DRM thing, though not 'trivial'. Also a confusing user experience. Example (real world, lived, me) - FreeView TV app no login - many TVs have Freeview AND native apps. Freeview has "missing content" for that reason - customer complaints result !

  • jonie1303 jonie1303 #NHSLove💙 #corbynwasright #gtto (@jonie1303) reported

    @aunty_shirley @RhonddaBryant RT vanished off sky and Freeview in the UK when the EU banned the awful channel from using certain satellites so it couldn't broadcast in the UK

  • BegbieCat3 McCoubrey Cat (@BegbieCat3) reported

    @EilisOHanIon I record all episodes of every series that I want to watch on my old Freeview+ box and never start watching until the whole series is recorded. It's the only bit of self-control I can exercise these days. It also means I can >>Fast Forward>> the adverts in 30 second jumps.
