@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!

@edgarwright @broccantyzack @itv2 Would make for a brilliant friday/saturday/sunday triple header. Would love to break it down into how many times a year they appear on freeview TV

@ElaineMatuszew1 @NadineDorries Other TV channels do exist. Not just BBC, and also many of them can be found on Freeview ( not internet / streaming ). Besides, this issue isn't about getting rid of th BBC. It will still exist, but it will be funded differently

@andrew_wauchope @guardian So you don't think disability programming is a vital service? What about the freeview network?

@SpergenFlergen @bbcpress BBC pays to maintain the Freeview network as part of the licence fee.

@ZoeJardiniere @FreeviewTV in the UK is saved until 2037, @NadineDorries has to scrap the freeview/BBC at the same time, this is like immigration, solution to immigration is short term visas for unfortunate refugees into the UK

The scariest thing about the BBC & Freeview trending is all the awful GBNews related tweets & clips in those topics. We need the BBC, without it or with whatever it becomes under Dorries poorly thought out "plan" we'll end up with more sensationalist tabloid nonsense like GBNEWS.

@VirtuaMcPolygon @byford_ian @DavidLammy Doesn’t part of the license fee go towards maintaining the transmission network for freeview?

@Garnhiem_ @talkRADIO The issue that most people have is with the news programmes. There are no subscription only news TV stations in the Uk. Even sky news is free on freeview. It is also not an option for radio stations.

@Eyeswideopen69 @carol_casey1 @caporicci_r Should that not be a choice though? You are talking about forcing everyone to have a TV License even if they do not watch BBC but watch other freeview channels. Its like saying sky has the best of movies so you must pay even if you do not use the service.
