    @Matey30 @virginmedia Nothing less than I’ve come to expect from them. Service has been so bad which is why we’ve left their tv service. Had to keep the broadband for now due to limitations of other local providers. Now watching freeview…

    @virtualash tell your boys your TV quality is poor on Freeview. Whale's head will not look fuzzy. This can't be allowed to happen.

    Looking through the festive TV schedule and there's no Muppet Christmas Carol on any of the freeview channels this year. Never wanted @DisneyPlus to launch more than right now.

    @mrgrahamreed @BBCiPlayer I think I only saw season 1 on Sky 3 on Freeview. Never saw the rest of it. The classic '70s Battlestar got shown on BBC 2, in the '90s.

    @Sargon_of_Akkad I've been thinking about this. If Sky is funded from subscriptions why is the awful Sky News on Freeview? It should be banned from Freeview because it's using it subscription revenue stream to distort the free to air market.

    @ArchRose90 Its about time we had choice and not an arbitrary tax just to watch OTHER channels on freeview who are funded by adverts. BBC should be funded through adverts or by a subscription service

  • Liam_Holman99 Liam Holman (@Liam_Holman99) reported

    The licence fee funds TV programmes that represent British values and issues. It funds world class news and sports coverage. It funds education for children. It funds Freeview. BBC is a human organisation which means it makes mistakes but the alternative would is inferior.
