    @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.

  • KoalaBarry Barry (the Koala). (@KoalaBarry) reported

    @littlemore20 Mom never heard of it - who would have thought EE would affect Freeview !!

  • Clivemerritt clive merritt (@Clivemerritt) reported

    @westywaldo @btsport That's kinda my point then, everything is better when it's free lol, if not freeview though then i'm glad it's not sky, Sky lock you in, it's extremely expensive and their flexibility with their apps for watching other than on TV are crap, same as their multi room.

  • SteveinGX Steve (@SteveinGX) reported

    Really sad that Forces TV is no longer on Freesat or Freeview. Only available to service personnel now. Makes you wonder what's about to kick off in Eastern Europe and Scandinavia that the general public won't be able to watch

  • oliver_shergold Acid 🇺🇦 Mouse (@oliver_shergold) reported

    @Sparkypatrick Yes I saw that, Talk Talk the cheapest, never looked at Plusnet, just walked up to the precinct and set up new account, new contract, fed up with Freeview content so now at least got all the Sky channels plus catch up and record.

  • EUROPAforever UAdefendsEU (@EUROPAforever) reported

    @Philmoorhouse76 on 30/6 FREEVIEW closed down some channels and reduced others (BBC NEWS) to same quality as per tv in 1969 ,so it could sell off the space to BT for phone coverage

  • bradtrc brad (@bradtrc) reported

    @markfrommellor @BBCOne Let’s not forget - the viewing figures for Wimbledon - is that just figures for viewing from platforms like Freeview/Sky? If so, how many more watched on iPlayer and services like Red Button? We’ll never know though…

  • haylsbb Hayley (@haylsbb) reported

    can’t believe the state of morning tv at the moment. staying at my dads so we only have freeview channels, we ended up watching something called “dress to impress” which is a dating show where you have to decide who to date based on outfits they chose for you. ******** is this?!

  • GC_Wood Gary C Wood (@GC_Wood) reported

    First the removal of BBC Radio access via voice control on Sonos speakers; now the removal of @BBCNews HD from Freeview. @BBC not doing much to help it's cause with the licence fee debate.

  • HybridProphecy Jack° 🎗 (@HybridProphecy) reported

    @anee1a Probably 50% of the foreign films I've seen I saw for the first time on Film4, a Freeview channel lol As long as you're able to read subtitles easily, it shouldn't be a problem.

  • LukeN100 LukeN (@LukeN100) reported

    @WolfieSmiffed @BBCNews You can't cancel broadcasters on Freeview. You can just watch another service instead
