    @rlwjones @Nick_Metcalfe @MarkyBunny They made one champions League game per round free to air..usually the crap games though..they used to have a channel on Freeview..

  • 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.

  • luke0586 Luke Clarke (@luke0586) reported

    @skytv @SkyHelpTeam it’s always confused me that if you pay Sky for their TV service using their equipment and dishes, you still have to pay for a separate licence… surely this should be included in your billing as they are providing the service… #TVLicence #Sky #Freeview

  • fifibaggins Fiona Connery (@fifibaggins) reported

    @ClareToHere Turn over to Celebrity Goggle Box on channel 47 on Freeview, it's making us laugh a lot tonight! 'Those' days can be awful buggers. Sending hugs to you xx 🥸🤪

  • MrsJaneRace Jane Race 💙 (@MrsJaneRace) reported

    @zoom_96 @jeehaeda We have Sky and Freeview and haven't been to see any Olympic golf. Coverage has been awful.

  • Kenny_Onions Kenny Onions (@Kenny_Onions) reported

    @Allllright Channel 5 started in 1997. Cable was never a thing, we have about 80 Freeview channels now but it's 90% crap. You can't get proper Sky with a dish, they have a VOD kption but it's expensive.

  • Jules_Clarke Rouge Noir (897) (@Jules_Clarke) reported

    with freeview, why is lcn change pop nearly every day , even with retune? And the Do you want to search? comes up loads, and what the abject **** . pissed off with it

  • Liberalsnowfl19 Blackbeard 🏴‍☠️🍻 (@Liberalsnowfl19) reported

    @BillySarstard @vwgti80 @DJBURNS_was Yes as the licence fee funds freeview and freesat. Its a public service. Just like council tax payers help fund public libraries. Its providing a service for the masses.
