    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.

  • andyjameshicks Andy Hicks (@andyjameshicks) reported

    @AaronBastani It's the reason I'd never buy licence. (That and Sky taking Sky Sports News off Freeview if I'm honest.)

  • skyblue_England skyblue_england ⬅︎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧 (@skyblue_England) reported

    @mrdanwalker @GaryLineker It’s time to end the license fee and allow viewers freedom of choice. With the plethora of subscription and Freeview program providers, it’s no longer necessary to have a government sponsored public service provider, with all the inherent issues about partiality that it brings.

  • Cyanosis1966 Cyanosis (@Cyanosis1966) reported

    @jonwensley @BATC_London @DPJHodges All the other programming on Freeview is free! If the BBC want to use advertising or subscription that’s up to them, they could install a box as part of the service. Why not have a public vote on this matter?

  • AlexTheGuiri Alex the Guiri (@AlexTheGuiri) reported

    @Glostermeteor @MattWWoolwich Nope. The BBC was given a significant uplift in the licence fee to implement Freeview in the early 2010s. It was then allowed to keep that uplift to fund the World Service (previously FCO) and ‘free’ licences for over 75s (previously HMT). Typically it has subsequently reneged.

    @LeeroyWildman Freeview Leeroy I am fortunate to have Channel 4 on my phone so no problem I watched it on that instead but it was strange it wasn't on my televisions 🤔 I even went downstairs to see if it was just my bedroom one But the sitting room one didn't have it either 🥺

  • ameena_q90 Ameena 🇺🇦 (@ameena_q90) reported

    @CallumKeith1999 live? Ah **** what if you have freeview?

  • WeHo_1985 Dennis (@WeHo_1985) reported

    @B2theRich It was dreadful. Three out of five is extremely generous. It's the type of terrible b-movie you see on a random Freeview channel at 2pm in the afternoon.

  • gg_poulloin ggpoulloin (@gg_poulloin) reported

    .@FreeviewTV phew, the new weather patterns of rain that lasts for days. And the awful #Freeview TV, where you search for something to watch and find nothing. And oh the adverts that go on and on and on...

  • keeperofstone Stone Keeper (@keeperofstone) reported

    @FABSITEUK Do you watch any TV? If you watch or record TV on any channel via any TV service (e.g. Sky, Virgin, Freeview, Freesat), you need to be covered by a TV Licence.
