  • 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.

  • bulldogbyrne julie byrne (@bulldogbyrne) reported from Hindley, England

    Why do I keep paying for TV service which is shit @BTGroup I get better service on indoor freeview aerial

  • Robbo72uk Andy Roberts (@Robbo72uk) reported from Southport, England

    Virgin tv and broadband gone down yet again. Resorting to Freeview right now. The picture quality is actually much better than Virgin...AND no glitches and constant picture breakup!!

  • johnworthy27 john worthington (@johnworthy27) reported from Preston, England

    @chloesammike @andywigmore @KayBurley Don't worry you can still get Sky news on channel 132 on your Freeview box. Thick ****.....

    @DailyMail I read this & it pisses me off what criminals get in UK prisons. Beauty salon, barista training, cells with TV, Freeview, DVD player, library they can order films & books from. Oh & she is PAID A WAGE. ******* disgusting. Prisons here aren't that bad, no wonder so much crime!

  • ShoyebJeeva Shoyeb Jeeva (@ShoyebJeeva) reported

    I'm the only one here on X who seems to be experiencing issues with #freeview, they said that there were engineering works taking place at the Tower so the TV would keep going black or buffering.

  • linktonian Iain Mackinnon (@linktonian) reported

    @iainmcmenemy @NoContextBrits totally raised this with my MP a few years back he took up with Ofcom who replied saying that basically tough. Freeview were complying with legislation and thst I should try and use a booster aerial to try and pick up a signal from the Brechin transmittè 50 miles away I declined

  • IMTobybrown Toby Brown (@IMTobybrown) reported

    @JeremyVineOn5 The BBC is a fantastic organization. The problem with finding a future funding model is that there aren't many other ways to fund it. For example You can't do subscription because freeview and radio don't have conditional access technology on them

  • ljmmuk Lindy Coo (@ljmmuk) reported

    @VC2243 @Old_SchoolEddie Born 1945, operated a computer when I was 21, I don't lap up anything but rock n roll, watch freeview, hate the far right, & passionately support #garyseconomics Don't tar us all with the same brush!!

  • landspeeder Ian Bailey🐀 (@landspeeder) reported

    @weather_bee We've had this on occasions on Freeview when the signal from Hannington is disrupted

    @Alec0475 Hi, Alec. Thank you for getting in touch. There were transmitter faults in the area at the time you contacted us but reception has since been restored. Are you still having problems getting Freeview?

  • ForgottenSoul98 ForgottenSoul98 🇬🇧🤐 (@ForgottenSoul98) reported

    @AthleticsWeekly Coverage remains very patchy. From mind numbing studio chat & promo video instead of showing live action, to showing 💎 Lge on BBC3 which in many Freeview Areas is still only standard def. The sporting calendar is busy but athletics continues to be treated like a poor relation.

  • storey966 Tynmar (@storey966) reported

    @ClarksonsFarm1 Quite simply, it's a subscription that you pay to use your freeview service. However, unlike other paid TV services, it is still possible to access those services even if you don't pay.

  • BarryShatpeas Barry Gorilla (@BarryShatpeas) reported

    @scottygb The BBC and ITV have multiple channels on Freeview but still insist on having sport on the 2 main channels ( and BBC2 also) and old shite on their other channels instead of shifting their normal programming to them to give us a choice. THAT is the issue.
