    One bad thing about #Freeview TV is all the begging adverts. Ignore em all, ain't contributing towards inflated staff salaries. Plenty of local little charities.

    @finneyzair Couldn't care less what subsequent regime conclusions have been reached regarding advertising. If other channels can do it, so can the BBC. Also couldn't care less about freeview. Make it subscription based or shut it down. Same with Radio, advertisers fund it or shut it down.

    @CrazyHo63837338 Freeview currently the UKs biggest digital platform, offering over 100 channel & radio too. Cost 47p a day. 66% of those using it are over the age of 65. So you’d be happy to see the elderly forced to pay at least a £1 a day to get a similar service from Sky minus Radio.
