@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.

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!!

@lewysstacey A streaming vod service is relatively easy to set up. But changing Freeview's architecture isn't as simple as a block on BBC channels. It all gets switched to subs or not at all. It would mean forcing a lot of people to buy new gear to watch something they're already paying for.

My @davechannel has no signal on freeview and when I rescan my tv channel 19 has vanished altogether now. Is this widespread or is my TV on the blink?

@MoneySavingExp 1. Cancel Sky. Freeview plus Netflix costs less than £10/month. 2. Cook everything fresh, stop buying ready meals. 3. Get a SIM-Only contract (£6/month) rather than an expensive contract. 4. Overpay the mortgage every month. Treat it like a bill. 5. Pay off credit cards in full.

@WilmotOf @MrKenShabby @PalaeoHan License fee pays for the broadcast network infrastructure Channel 4 uses - freeview and Freesat, and contributes to U.K. broadband rollout.

@Robin_Redway @RichPreston How do you technically provide a subscription service on terrestrial Freeview? If you don’t, you have to get people to subscribe to Sky or Virgin and/or internet access to receive the BBC. The standard service of both of those costs more than the BBC.

@JCalvert_music Not sure about that. Their intended audience already has YouTube to see this stuff on. Flicking through Freeview sucks. Maybe there'll be some traction with soundbite snippets being shared online? But I just can't see it being a new Sky News. Maybe it's a long game

@BBCNews the price isn't a dealbreaker, although if they stopped aggressively bullying of those who own a tv but don't watch freeview, the would bring the license fee down.

@SmoothRadio trying to listen via Freeview channel 718, reception has been poor for the last 14 days sometimes to the point of crap, Location Warwick via Sutton Coldfield, internet radio is the same.
