    @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.

  • geospacedman Barry Rowlingson🐺 (@geospacedman) reported

    @Dragons8mycat I think I saw it on a Freeview listings and thought I might be able to find it on the channel's streaming service. Oh well, I'll cancel my Netflix sub after watching them...

  • techprocess1 🇬🇧 (@techprocess1) reported

    @Gaz_THFC £84!!!! I used to have to pay £65 a month. Switched to freeview via Sky for £5 a month and got a new sky Q box. Hated it. Going to cancel in March when my contract ends. Switched to BT TV for £6 a month, freeview, Netflix and Sky entertainment for 24 months.

  • HewiEdwards Wayne Edwards (@HewiEdwards) reported

    @UKTVPlayHelp Hi, it is via the Freeview Play platform, which is a pre-installed app. There is no dedicated UKTV Play app in the Philips Saphi app store. The problem seems to occur on all UKTV channels. The last time it was working, was probably about 1 month ago, that I can remember.

  • Rachel44432944 Racquel (@Rachel44432944) reported

    @FreeviewTV My freeview has never worked

  • animallovercat2 Alison (@animallovercat2) reported

    Well. I'm glad I didn't see Mama Mia 2 at the cinema. Just saw some of it on Freeview. What a pile of ****. Nothing like that first one.

  • NervousInnocent Cainneach (@NervousInnocent) reported

    @niconicotoga Yeah we got all the dinsey and nick stuff too but CBBC was freeview and had all the wonderful weird **** lol

  • 4mulawun 4mulaHammer (@4mulawun) reported

    @micronautsFan @NoContextBrits To be fair up until about 20 years ago (roughly) we had 5 whole channels haha. When satellite TV came in then Freeview as I am sure you know, it all changed but we never had the US style 200+ cable channels until quite late on.

  • tgemeda22 Tola Gemeda (@tgemeda22) reported

    @oocukkidstv @retromod8 @NionLogos182 I remember there was also iPlayer on Freeview (on my TV at least) from strong memory along with Channel 5's On-Demand service, Demand 5 (now My5).

  • Nacelle1701 Helen (@Nacelle1701) reported

    Looks like this @SkyUK pin requirement is utter crap when I can go to the same programme requiring a pin on sky that is on freeview at the exact same time without having to put in a pin! @SkyHelpTeam

  • alanbritton Alan Britton PG Dip (@alanbritton) reported

    @PBSAmerica just watching @DrJaninaRamirez on the Freeview play catch up service. I have noticed however, that the commercials are all in the wrong places, halfway through a sentence and on a couple of occasions halfway through a word. Any chance of looking at this? Thanks.
