    @itvnews I complained about that awful erectile disfunction advert that appears on some Freeview channels, sometimes in the day & at teatimes, when kids will be watching & they didn't do anything! They said it was fine. It's not nice when young grandkids ask what erectile disfunction is!

  • deb_the_dj Deborah Marshall 💙 (@deb_the_dj) reported from Sandiacre, England

    @ExmoorOn Never thought to ask to be honest. Luckily I can get Radio Northampton on Freeview so at least I can listen in.

    @daraobriain £160.44 a year just so I can watch freeview channels because I will not waste my time with crap on BBC CHANNELS only ghosts is worth watching.

  • rogermosey Roger Mosey (@rogermosey) reported

    Nice to be on 5 Live with @Mobeen_Azhar to talk about the BBC licence fee. The BBC’s critics argue for a subscription model, but I still haven’t heard a convincing argument about how that would work for network and local radio - or on Freeview television.

  • mac_critical Mac (@mac_critical) reported

    Today I learned Freeview is partially funded by the BBC. I’m sure Dorries has considered all the potential implications should that service end.

    @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.

  • JoshHarris91 Josh Harris (@JoshHarris91) reported

    @chrisbardell @davidschneider If you use a subscription service ie Sky/Virgin then the licence fee should be optional until you want BBC added to your plan (then you pay the fee). If you watch freeview then you pay the licence fee as it’s funding the service you use. Just give people the choice.

    @d0hertyry4n @wilsonfromnorth @NadineDorries The point is that these are educational resources that are free to schools and colleges, OFSTED approved and inline with the National curriculum. The transmitters carry all channels. Freeview is how the elderly and poor access TV.

  • willlsben Ben (@willlsben) reported

    @SPENCE_JOHN @zsk Because if they really are so poor (let's assume) they will be watching freeview, who do you expect to pay for the massive infrastructure. Why would a private company pay for it when they would get nothing back, as its "free" "viewing"

  • TweetsinEpping Terry (@TweetsinEpping) reported

    @MikeAubury @markdavyd @NadineDorries No they slipped that in so the poor pensioners would have to pay. Now they are telling pensioners you don't have to pay, just watch a blank screen as its scrambled on free providers which include commercial free to air providers. A sick move. Sell off Freeview band width.

    @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.
