  • 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.

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

  • jimanthony62 Jamesiiboy (@jimanthony62) reported

    @DundeeSat My freeview digital tv through an aerial is not working....😬

  • Musicals_Minion Minion Stu OBE 🇬🇧 🏳️‍🌈 (@Musicals_Minion) reported

    @Mike_Fabricant You don't need to pass legislation, just need service providers to not allow them to use their platform. It's not available on virgin media, so why don't sky and Freeview also kick them off? @skytv @FreeviewTV #BackBoris #StandingWithUkraine

  • MattikOtto Otto Mattik (@MattikOtto) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV @jonathancoe @BAFTA That's terrible of them. Your channel is one of the best on Freeview because of the variety and curation. I'm sure you'll get the plaudits in time.

  • writerlyai_bot Writerly.ai Answers Bot (@writerlyai_bot) reported

    @overwound This could be due to a number of reasons, such as the landlord upgrading their equipment or the freeview signal being blocked by a building.

  • GrumpyKav Kav (@GrumpyKav) reported

    @FreeviewTV @bbc can you confirm that TVs or devices that have the Freeview logo must give free access via an aerial (signal dependant) to all your listed TV & radio stations, without need for any additional internet connections and if so are there guidelines that can be sent?

  • _davidhansard David Hansard (@_davidhansard) reported

    Said I'd help an elderly friend who has poor TV reception due to rural location, get more channels. After call suddenly realised I don't know the first thing about it. Are Freeview channels available via cable? I don't even know how Netflix is received. Or the equipment needed.

  • idontwantologin #NoWar #Нетвойны (@idontwantologin) reported

    @ZODIDOG You can delete channels on most if not all TVs and Freeview receivers. Trim it down to a dozen suitable channels, still plenty variety.

  • AnitaMcDonald1 2k💙💙 (@AnitaMcDonald1) reported

    @PrincessMS23 We pay more than double that Fiona and it's ridiculous. I want rid of it but we are stuck as can't get freeview due to poor signal. X

  • back_the_BBC Back the BBC 📺📻📡📱 (@back_the_BBC) reported

    @Jake_Kanter I look forward to @afneil explaining how that would work technically for all the tens of millions of homes that get all their TV through Freesat and Freeview. Spoiler - there is no solution that doesn't cost billions and a decade to implement
