    @TalkingPicsTV Definitely. We struggle getting Freeview and as you’re not on BT TV I’m missing my fix!

  • Robbo72uk Andy Roberts (@Robbo72uk) reported from Southport, England

    Virgin tv and broadband gone down yet again. Resorting to Freeview right now. The picture quality is actually much better than Virgin...AND no glitches and constant picture breakup!!

  • AndyMcK1982 Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @jaxlfc_jj @YaTerrynorris70 It’s not restricted to the BBC. If you watch or record live TV on any channel - either through your TV or through a website - then you need a TV licence. This applies whether you receive Freesat, Freeview or a pay-TV service in your home, & whether or not you watch BBC channels.

    @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.

    @blaiklockBP @BBC They will need the 1000 pounds to pay for a subscription service, no BBC means no freeview and watching TV will become very expensive.
