  • 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.

  • 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!!

  • Toffeewolfie Philip whitehurst (@Toffeewolfie) reported from Liverpool, England

    @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..

  • karlmcintyre Karl McIntyre (@karlmcintyre) reported from St Helens, England

    @drewhill79 @VodafoneUK @MattJConnor @StHKHIS Same here. BT got the 150 mb and it flies. Good support and I stream everything!! Don’t even have normal freeview.

  • 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

  • stormcab stormcab (@stormcab) reported

    @journeymanstev1 Dumped years ago. Just get freeview HD. All those 100s of extra channels you never watch anyway

  • Antinat21 jimmy (@Antinat21) reported

    @TimMadigan9 Never watch the BBC / ITV or the other home crap .. mainly Freeview channels with Disney , Netflix and prime and i dont pay 🤷

  • SimonOffTheCuff Simon Parritt 🔶 (@SimonOffTheCuff) reported

    @JamesTurner37 @GladiatrixRedux Freeview channels apart from a few are only accessible via an aerial and signal strength not enough for indoor versions - unless someone know more - I have up trying

  • AndyWoodturner Andy Coates (@AndyWoodturner) reported

    OK...so the coaxial jumped from the Freeview box into the blueray box in it's own? "I never touched it." "I never touched it either." Fine. Then you have a sentient coaxial cable with a mischievous personality. "A what?" Nothing. It's fixed. "Oh, good. Can you look at the laptop”

  • Starrygem4 DianeB ♀️ (@Starrygem4) reported

    @isamutlib @neilmorrison @virginmedia What broadband do you use? I have smart TV and firesticks on other tvs but still need broadband. I'm paying for just basic channels that I can get on freeview too and a phone line I never use 😕 Tempted to lose the phone line & tv and just keep basic broadband

  • chester_craft Chester Minecraft (@chester_craft) reported

    Technology has been doing it's best to send me insane this weekend. Drop outs, disconnections, set up issues, now the right channel on Freeview stopped working for zero reason. All fixed, but unnecessarily annoying.

  • SmilerTheSparky Pete (@SmilerTheSparky) reported

    What free/paid TV service do you have? We have Freesat ( because our Freeview signal is shite ), Amazon Prime & Netflix, although I'm considering binning the latter.

  • GladiatrixRedux Gladiatrix52 (@GladiatrixRedux) reported

    @JamesTurner37 OK, having done this myself: yes you can access e g., BBC via a Firestick OR you can buy a smart TV that already has the terrestrial channels and Anazon etc installed. You may require an aerial for Freeview depending on the local signal. 1/

  • PatrickJMB Patrick Brannigan 💙💙 🎼🎶📸 recalibrate polity (@PatrickJMB) reported

    @bookplatypus I can get the iPlayer and All 4 via my TV, but to record RTE programmes, I need the Freeview box to record. I'm wondering if there is a solution I'm missing.

    @RevRichardColes For Freeview yes. For streaming add the app and login one at a time.
