    Hope we don't get this warm weather very often.#freeview doesn't work because of the high atmospheric pressure apparently. How am I going to watch #loveisland

    Warning, stupid question incoming, does a Freeview tele just simply plug into an old skool aerial?? My mum wants a new TV but doesn’t have cable. I’m assuming so? I’ve had cable since the early 90s so haven’t had to faff on with aerials for 30 odd years !!!

    @curryspcworld Just been into your Crewe store looking for a freeview box. 5 staff members fiddling with displays, me the only customer. Not one member of staff came to see if I needed help. Going elsewhere as you obvs don't need my custom.

    @james_blue_cat Can't afford any streaming service or the hardware upgrade to accommodate one. Freeview and iPlayer is enough. Didn't switch telly on Xmas day and Bob and Paul going fishing was my highlight.

    Imagine how much of a Christmas miracle it would be if BBC3 came back to freeview number 7. I can picture it now, Gavin & Stacey returns and BBC3 makes a comeback. 25/12/19 would go down in history.

    @LGUKCare Hi. You need to address why the FreeSat guide on your TV's takes up to 30sec to load and populate. Doesn't happen on Freeview which I have upstairs. Your (all too frequent) updates could fix this easily but you dont. 10K of TV RAM mem could sort this annoying nonsense.

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi, for the last four days my Freeview TV reception has varied between NO SIGNAL and something of a picture on all channels but with massive pixelation and choppy sound, I currently have no signal. My postcode is WR8 0SJ I am on the Malvern transmitter.

    Going to my friends house who had Sky and I had channels 1-5. I was like damn my friends are rich! Freeview changed my life.

    @MajQapla The Encore app is a catch up only service, and doesn't show live TV. I expect Abigail's Party will be added after broadcast. I watch TPTV via Virgin media channel 445, I know it is on Freeview (81?)

    @itsGower @FionaMc79461755 @bosdovja92 Yes you do!!! absolutely need a TV licence to watch or record live TV on any channel or service, including Sky TV, Virgin Media, Amazon Prime Video, ITV, Channel 4, or free-to-air channels on Freeview or Freesat.

    One of the things that fcks me off more than anything else in cheap hotels like Travelodge especially but also Premier Inn is they never bother to retune most TVs on Freeview. The hotel I'm in tonight upt North looks like it hasn't had the channels updated for at least 5 years.

    @TimFost2561 So if you cancel the license, you also can't access other freeview stuff, or am I completely off-base there?

    @GBPolitcs Why should I pay a tax for a service I choose not to use? If I choose Sky, TNT, Paramount, Disney, Netflix ect. I pay for it. The ones I don’t pay for (Freeview services) are funded by advertising. Frankly the public funding for C4 should be revoked too.
