    @Life_Disrupted + it wouldn't be free Only practical way to do subscription service is Broadband. New broadband connection for a lot of elderly £25/month Subscription min £7/month New smart TV £200 or Freeview play box £100 Helpline to help elderly navigate all those menus + new tech £1 Bn/yr

    @FhilipGreen @notwillyoung86 @krishgm So there isn't 4k output via terrestrial television in the UK. Raise that with Freeview. Which is a private company, by the way. I'm looking forward to you moaning about ITV having the same problem? Sky output in 4k is minimal also.

    @SpergenFlergen @bbcpress Doesn’t the license fee go towards maintaining the Freeview signal stream? So 5 of the things you mention there indirectly benefit from license fee payments as they couldn’t be broadcast without the digital signal.

    @cononeilluk @luckyma_man .. many won't have + a subscription fee of min £7/ month.

    @JordanRasko @seanforeilly @MicaKilabie Bottom line, if it's too expensive don't spend for it. Freeview still exists and paid for by ads. If it's price gouging, make a complaint with ACCC. Using 'expensive' to justify piracy is just plain wrong.

    @SpergenFlergen @bbcpress BBC pays to maintain the Freeview network as part of the licence fee.

    @andrew_wauchope @guardian So you don't think disability programming is a vital service? What about the freeview network?

  • brundellfilimou Mike Benjamin (@brundellfilimou) reported

    @Garnhiem_ @talkRADIO The issue that most people have is with the news programmes. There are no subscription only news TV stations in the Uk. Even sky news is free on freeview. It is also not an option for radio stations.

    @PCarmichaelVO @NadineDorries If you want Welsh language programming pay for it yourself. The BBC's educational output is dumbed down drivel. Freeview is an obsolete technology which ties up bandwidth to show Dave Ja Vu.

    License fee also goes into the Freeview network, free children education. Wanting to get rid of it because it reports news, that some people don’t like, is tyrannical #GMB
