    @BBC The viewing public are not ‘celebrating’ being forced to fund your moribund corporation. The BBC is not an essential service, so the taxpayer should not be forced to pay for it, just for the privilege of watching Freeview on their own televisions. #DefundTheBBC

    @Marionblacker1 @implausibleblog Exactly. And theirs is paid by compulsory licence fee to watch a TV even if you don’t want to watch their channels but just freeview. Sad for poor families & elderly who maybe already struggling with cost of living.Obscene really.

    @steeleyp_ @BigJohnnyArcher Well I've seen a review from someone who's had hands on and they said it does "and an aerial port – which, like with Glass, is just used for Freeview backup when you’re internet is down."

    What's happened to #C4News? Can't get it live on iPad or Apple iPad. Or on Freeview play using the satellite cable. WTF is going on?
