    @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.

    @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%.

    @makeupaguy We had ******* freeview so we got cheap kids channels, so I had never wtach a full spongebob episode

  • nick_thompson Nicholas Thompson (@nick_thompson) reported

    @NewsAMorgan @Jezzer_UK @mrmitchell78 Problem is, the services they offer are publically broadcast and not trivially paywalls for a subscription service. Sure, freeview offers some kind of encrypted broadcast, but that's just the TV. What do we do? Paywall BBC news and weather? Kill all FM BBC radio?

  • BaikieRachel Rachel Honeyman Baikie (@BaikieRachel) reported

    @TalkTalk please reply to my private message. I’m NOT paying a £172 exit fee when I’ve only got talk talk set up on 23rd June & the service has been shocking! No freeview channels found, internet so slow that I can’t even watch Netflix without it freezing every couple of minutes
