    @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.

  • 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!!

    @rlwjones @Nick_Metcalfe @MarkyBunny They made one champions League game per round free to air..usually the crap games though..they used to have a channel on Freeview..

    @Nigel_Farage @reformparty_uk BBC should be subscription, but if it must be also available non-subscription so that old and/or poor can view live national occasions, Parliamentary debates, addresses to nation, etc, then let that be on Freeview with low-resolution VHS-level picture quality and mono sound.

    @RupertLowe10 Make it a hybrid. Skeleton service on Freeview funded by adverts, with the option of a subscription for online ad-free and premium content. Basically the way ITV does it.

    @KiszelyPhilip BBC radio superb, money from the licence fee also helps maintain the freeview service. Still regularly watch programmes on it more than any other channel. It still has the biggest audience share of any U.K. tv broadcaster. So this narrative no one watches it, is a lie.
