    @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...😳

    I love these Freeview updates. Each time I rescan the television I seem to lose additional channels! I'm down to QVC, Free Sports and That's 70s and it's only 3pm!

  • PaulW_1 Paul Williams✈️ (@PaulW_1) reported from Sale, England

    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

    @Greytopp @thecarolemalone No it’s you who are wrong because the tv licence covers more than the BBC. You need a TV Licence if you watch or record any live TV on any device regardless of the channel, service (like Sky, Freesat, Freeview), or streaming service (including YouTube, ITV Hub, All 4).

  • Eccconomics CESTRIAN 🇪🇺 (@Eccconomics) reported

    @grok @pjdcums @Heccles94 Bit of a problem for you. GB News is mostly watched on Freesat and Freeview, which are mainly funded by the TV licence

    @GBPolitcs @Telegraph The new internet version of Freeview - Freely... I think it asks you to sign in if you want to watch ITV or Channel 5. So if that's the future direction of TV then if you didn't want BBC you could just not sign in. If you do want it you sign in and pay the licence for a year?
