    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

    @traceyfromrasen @Kavismate @SkySportsRacing @RacingTV My Freeview signal can be hopeless at best even connected to Wi-fi but the HDMI/laptop combo works well when the cat isn’t jumping on it !

    @FreeviewAdvice You seem to have blocked this account from contributing advice to Freeview users who have not been advised that Freeview is fundamentally flawed and they are being forced to pay for a service that can never be reliable. This may not end well...

  • BRIANAL07933883 BRIAN ALLEN (@BRIANAL07933883) reported

    @Aisha_mk @FreeviewAdvice Go into Freeview Play from settings sign in and accept terms and conditions this should solve it

  • alibee2006 Alison Baddley (@alibee2006) reported

    @TalkTV @Iromg Just catching up with the show. Gary Glitter should never have been released. Let's hope they keep him in prison this time and hopefully lose the key. As for the TV licence, the channels are free on Freeview, plus you're paying again with Virgin and sky. It should be scrapped.

  • EvelynS51868235 Evelyn Smith (@EvelynS51868235) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Have been having trouble with my freeview since 8th March 2023. Before that the reception on all channels was perfect. Suddenly the picture is cracking up and going slow. It is not very bad but it is not as perfect as it was. The sound is a bit affected too.

    @acrobat1977 @SkyArts Does it work for you? Sky Arts on Freeview is not working for me!

    @Dave0932705 @Larterlia @GBNEWS Hi Dave, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview Reception. So, we can investigate this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • Kevthegod1 Kevthegod (@Kevthegod1) reported

    @GBNEWS @Jacob_Rees_Mogg We have no need for World service, s4c , education programming, local radio, support for Freeview/sat infrastructure, free TV for over 75s, etc , etc ?? Plus it's public not state

  • spacemanfranko Franko (@spacemanfranko) reported

    @TheVikingDane @GayTory You only need a TV License if you watch/record live television on any service (e.g. BBC1/C4/Freeview, Sky,Virgin) or if you use iPlayer. BBCs goons rely on self incrimination so don't ever let them in unless they have a warrant and police/official present.

  • Blockbustargirl Natasha (@Blockbustargirl) reported

    I didn't think I could watch the Oscars cos I don't have Sky Showcase, was about to turn the tv off, thought I'd try Sky Arts (its on Freeview so I can get that channel) on the off chance its on there and it is, I've never watched the Oscars before just seen clips #Oscars
