  • BillboBilleric1 BillboBillericay (@BillboBilleric1) reported

    @JuliaHB1 The BBC is not a public service and therefore should not be funded through a form of taxation. 80 plus channels available on Freeview that are not funded by the taxpayer, but I am not allowed to watch them unless I pay the BBC tax.

  • DaveWayne306 Dave Wayne (@DaveWayne306) reported

    @simonday And how many of these shows, and others such as QI, Mock the Week, etc. are repeated on freeview, cable, and satellite channels, and probably being watched by people who "never watch BBC" ?

    @Paul_Briley @jongreydavies @LDNCalling How do you make radio and freeview TV a subscription service?

  • topimp21 Central ₿ank Robber (@topimp21) reported

    @Takethatjoe @darrengrimes_ Oh my god, how would our TV's ever work without Freeview 😱 After all,it's well known that in every other country where BBC-funded Freeview isn't available, TV broadcasting simply doesn't work.

    @jamiebglover @CatsAreLoud You can't really defend the BBC's technical standards. They foisted Freeview upon us- the quality on SD channels has always been terrible- worse than VHS. Likewise DAB radio sounds poor, and BBC national FM radio still uses NICAM distribution- lossy compression of the 1970s kind.

    @Glostermeteor @stephenkb I’m sure their grand plan isn’t to turn off the signal, but to make it encoded and subject to subscription. But most freeview boxes that people only now have after a long and expensive campaign of digital switchover that was really only about selling bandwidth to mobile operators

    @Aiannucci @Channel4 How is not forcing people to pay for a service they may not want 'coming for' ? What is your problem? A pensioner for example, may decide to save money and stick to Freeview. Why force them to pay for BBC. If BBC is great, then people will subscribe.

  • devonseaglass ian (@devonseaglass) reported

    @nw_nicholas BBC 3 went online only, BBC2 is an overflow for BBC1 and BBC4 is an archive channel. I hardly ever turn the TV on as Freeview is mainly a catch-up service for ITV and Channel 4 with BBC repeats ad nauseum.

    @TheNine96539330 @TheLastHatGirl @NadineDorries I’ll defend programming for the disabled, Freeview maintenance to give access to TV for the elderly and poor, resources for schools and Welsh/Gaelic language programming all the way. If you don’t agree, that’s your choice. Cheers!

    @EdwardJDavey @Aiannucci If the BBC is great, it will have no trouble getting subscribers, what are you afraid of? Why force say pensioners or the poor to pay a regressive tax? They may be happy with FreeView, why should they be forced into paying for the BBC if they don't want it?
