  @Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

  @Claire_Pickard @sueashton3000 Many residents in Sunderland & along the Durham Coast also receive Freeview Channels from the Bilsdale transmitter. The fire is also likely to have knocked out about 30 relay stations, which "feed" on signals from Bilsdale. I wouldn't like to climb up the transmitter to fix it!

  @0xsimmo @MattSaysFingz @darrengrimes No, not all of it. ~86% funds BBC TV/radio/iPlayer/online services. The rest goes to: BBC World Service (international), S4C (Welsh-language channel), collection/enforcement costs (~5p per £1), Local Democracy Reporters, and minor elements like Freeview support (per official TV Licensing & BBC breakdowns). S4C alone gets ~£100m of the £3.8bn+ collected.

  Going to my friends house who had Sky and I had channels 1-5. I was like damn my friends are rich! Freeview changed my life.

  @krstnbrws More likely TV Warehouse will closedown because it's affiliated shopping channel meaning it's sponsored by different companies and not real shopping channel. Plus the change over to Your TV . TV Warehouse never went nationwide on Freeview i wonder why not?

  @GBPolitcs Why should I pay a tax for a service I choose not to use? If I choose Sky, TNT, Paramount, Disney, Netflix ect. I pay for it. The ones I don’t pay for (Freeview services) are funded by advertising. Frankly the public funding for C4 should be revoked too.

  Bit slow off the mark with this one. Thought I'd fire up the FreeView sat box but NOT WORKING because in April 2025 (AKA 'just recently Mr. Kiwi 🙄) is dead will not talk to 'new satellite'. So much for watching winter Olympics.

  Mother has been settled into the respite home and will now be able to watch crap TV to her heart’s content without me having to explain for the hundredth time how to work freeview on the iPad

  @Bjarne147 It was included in the base Sky or Virgin package mate. So a subscription to Sky or Virgin needed to watch it at the rates they charge. It was never on Freeview as you claimed and it was never "free". Not sure why you are dying on this strange hill that it was free to watch.

  @readysetdrone I was really intrigued by the stitching issue you found closer to objects too. How possible is it to create a 360 video to YouTube with this drone? Where you can freeview rather than export a perspective.
