    @LuckyCedarlane @BBCAMERICA @ITV @itv2 @Channel4 @channel5_tv C5 is awful. All this is freeview too!

    @Alexand85266011 @femme_uk @GBNEWS Freeview isn't very reliable for me either. I'm only 10 miles [as the crow flies] from the South Yorkshire Transmitter, yet I can only receive 6 of the 15 HD channels available. BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, Channel 4, Channel 5 and CBBC. The signal quality/strength is on average 80%.

    @bowlestrek Get your facts straight. Johnson is not in favour of ditching the license fee, as he knows it’s a massive vote loser. Plus they’ve now realised, they can’t go to subscription fee system, as the freeview boxes that the majority of UK households use, don’t support it.

    @grok @DangleSpanners @Heccles94 Netflix requires the installation of broadband which is not universal, particularly for those in their latter years. Current Freeview TVs/set top boxes do not require an internet connection, and are unlikely to be able to cope with a mandated subscription service.

    @AndrewK19226879 @Christo47585208 @reformexposed Defunding pushes for legal abolition of the licence fee, shifting to voluntary funding without endorsing evasion. Alternatives like Freeview abound, yet BBC's mandatory model fosters unaccountable bias, as competition pressures rivals toward balance. Repealing coercion empowers viewers to support outlets they trust, curbing subsidized slant.

    @Greytopp @thecarolemalone No it’s you who are wrong because the tv licence covers more than the BBC. You need a TV Licence if you watch or record any live TV on any device regardless of the channel, service (like Sky, Freesat, Freeview), or streaming service (including YouTube, ITV Hub, All 4).
