    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!!

  • quodignoratum Myles Winstone (@quodignoratum) reported from Warrington, England

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

    @LaylaMoran @BBCOxford If the BBC is great, it will have no trouble getting subscribers, what are you afraid of? Why force say pensioners or the poor to pay a regressive tax? They may be happy with FreeView, why should they be forced into paying for the BBC if they don't want it?

  • _SeanOGrady Sean O'Grady (@_SeanOGrady) reported

    @JonAshworth Pensioners like their BBC shows too. And people who live in (Tory) rural seats with poor broadband like Freeview too.

  • thatfoxxybloke David Foxx (@thatfoxxybloke) reported

    @Monkeymanb0b Freeview with out the 3 BBC channels is the obvious solution. Which would be free. You could also then add subscriptions if you want them. The difference between the TV licence and Skys basic package is £6.

  • twittypolitty Kevin Evans (@twittypolitty) reported

    @ClaireJHartnell @Porrohman @jamiebglover Bad analogy. You can watch ITV, Channel 4, and the rest of the Freeview channels for free (clue is in the name), just like the motorways are free except for the Toll roads (AKA Sky and Netflix), which you can pay for as and when you want to use. I don't recognise any BBC roads?

  • WanderingSadu Harry Mincherley (@WanderingSadu) reported

    @Trampolinecare @bantalols Yep. They don't watch Freeview stuff. Even the concept of having to sit down to watch stuff at a specific time is laughable to them.

  • lewismj_waioeka Michael Lewis (@lewismj_waioeka) reported

    @Fles__ @partnumber2 They wouldn't be destroying it. What are you afraid of? If the BBC is as good as you say it is, they'll have lots of subscribers, go global. For those that would prefer to save money and just use FreeView, why would you force them to pay for a service you want but they don't?

  • MT_Kilpatrick Michael Kilpatrick (@MT_Kilpatrick) reported

    Does anybody else with a Freeview PVR find programmes on the @Channel4 player freezing frequently for half a sec (but sound fine) ? Our @PanasonicUK is awful trying to watch a C4 series. Once in a blue moon it does it on BBC iPlayer too.

  • IT_Maverick ITMaverick (@IT_Maverick) reported

    Many pensioners in this country rely on Freeview and don't have sky, Netflix etc, the irony is for them to get the services they enjoy now will cost 20+ per month in private subscriptions. Good news for Murdoch bad news for the pensioners. #BBCLicenceFee

  • mecafolidas Mark Foley (@mecafolidas) reported

    @MahyarTousi Do tell how you are going to move it to a subscription & how long that'd take? Freeview isn't compatible, broadband not in all parts of the UK etc etc. Radio? Only potential solution is advertising - huge hit to ITV etc. Note: Gov & BBC Trust blocked iPlayer expansion/sub in '09.

    @SaraN12533752 @jim63895391 @jamiebglover It also funds Freeview and various other digital TV platforms that support live viewing of lots of other channels.
