    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!!

  • annmurphy_wigan Ann Murphy (@annmurphy_wigan) reported from Wigan, England

    @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

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

  • 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.

  • nick_thompson Nicholas Thompson (@nick_thompson) reported

    @NewsAMorgan @Jezzer_UK @mrmitchell78 Problem is, the services they offer are publically broadcast and not trivially paywalls for a subscription service. Sure, freeview offers some kind of encrypted broadcast, but that's just the TV. What do we do? Paywall BBC news and weather? Kill all FM BBC radio?

  • l_ronaldson Wee L #Freedom....🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@l_ronaldson) reported

    @DearMeYes @BoringOleFart Nope I'll think you'll find you need a license to watch any freeview channels go online and type in freeview it tells you that you need a license for freesat freeview. It's safer to stay away from them watch tv online and don't sign in to anything. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😷👍🇮🇹

  • ThatsTVCumbria That's TV Cumbria (@ThatsTVCumbria) reported

  • RyanABAOPod Ryan (@RyanABAOPod) reported

    @virginmedia Tried everything and had to watch the first half on a small TV that has freeview in our dining room! Literally rebooted several times and no joy. The internet is down as well and don't have good signal so having to connect via hotspot to tweet. Nightmare.

  • NOWHelpTeam NOW Help Team (@NOWHelpTeam) reported

    @SarahJChadwick This would be under freeview, NOW APP does not have bbc 1 2 3 or 4 or ITV channels live unfortunately we never did, the APPS are free to download on our devices.

    @SkippyVinyls I've no problem with the TV. Freeview is all I have. I'm trying to connect my Humax Freeview to record on and access previous recordings but the Samsung isn't detecting it. I'm using a SCART to USB converter.

    @FreeviewAdvice Freeview in the Yorkshire provided by Arqiva is probably the worst service I have ever encountered! Constantly moving and deleting channels you can't keep up! Clubland TV and Now 90's completely disappeared from channel 271? And that is just the start!
