    @stevieboywise If that’s Freeview maybe due to high pressure issue again.

    @PayneB44 @tomhfh @BBC Your point was you want a break from it. There’s 1000s of channels, Freeview, YouTube, Sky, NOWTV, Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, BRITBOX DVDs, Blu-rays. Boxsets. There’s never been so much content to take your mind off it. Or just turn the telly off.

    @Samantha_J_Rea Hmm not to sure about freeview but definitely freesat it’s been taken off for over a year. Probably the same though. Sucks big time. Anyway. Hope you are well.

    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 😂

    @happysolderer @BBCNews Why didn’t you answer my question? Both freesat boxes and satellite dish installations are expensive. Also Freeview and Freesat boxes have incredibly low power cost. Its around £17 over the course of a year. What you said came across as a sly dig at the poor. But do carry on

    @Bert1897 @J0hn8ev @MikeKeegan_DM ******* you're stupid. If they stop the TV licence, how do you think they'll fund the BBC & the freeview platform? We'll just start paying for it through taxation.

    @Bob71136804 @BBCSport That's the iplayer. The "red button" is page 601 on freeview. You click on the screen for the iplayer and @BBCSport will force you to swear your life away that you have a tv licence and make you sign in! Many elderly, disabled, poor just do not have the wherewithall or tech!!

    @rreczulski @rasiron Freeview channel 721 is BBC Leicester where I live so fully rely on BBC Sport commentary. I suspect many others who live away from the region have the same issue.

    @rreczulski @mrwilmore18 Thanks but I don’t have Freeview, signal not strong enough, always had to rely on a satellite signal. I get a few radio channels with sky but not Humberside.

    @oscarxray Oh god, I had the option to walk out but my level of offence froze me to the spot! We need to cancel all movies that I might flick through on sky and freeview in case I watch them and I am offended . God forbid they play blazing saddles!

    @Ofcom Already done it. Cancelled Virgin, Cable TV. Now just have Freeview. Cancelled Netflix. I would prefer to cancel the BBC and keep Netflix but that’s not an option, if I want to watch live Ch4. Time to rethink the TV license!
