@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.

@Itsonly99KG @addicted2newz you do realise that a TV licence vis required to allow you to (legally) watch watch or record programmes as they are broadcast on any TV channel, on any service e.g., Sky, Virgin, Freeview, Freesat?

@WBATDM @rm_rf_tom @Heccles94 The page outlines the fee's primary use for BBC TV (over 60%), radio, online, and distribution, with small allocations to S4C, local TV, and platforms like Freeview—none subsidizing commercial channels' content, which relies on ads/subs. Broadband mentions tie to past digital initiatives, not ongoing infrastructure. This reinforces the BBC's dominant funding share, where bias critiques justify shifting to voluntary support for true diversity and viewer choice.

I saw something somewhere it might have been YouTube about Western and war films suddenly becoming popular on UK Freeview TV channels. I suppose it's got nothing to do with the fact showing old **** films that no one wants to watch is cheaper than newer films is it?

@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.
