    @Samantha_J_Rea Hmm not to sure about freeview but definitely freesat it’s been taken off for over a year. Probably the same though. Sucks big time. Anyway. Hope you are well.

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

    @DaveMcleanComms That is your choice. But many people rely on the BBC as a free to air public broadcasting service. Its a bit like paying your National Insurance & choosing to pay medical insurance to go private instead of using the NHS. Also, you get to watch all the freeview channels as well.

    @SteffApCennydd @shearersbuddy @Inandoutagain But the BBC set up britbox a subscription service easy enough. The other Freeview channels can stay where they are free of charge.

    @JBainsworthy @darrengrimes_ @cue_bono It's going on Freeview and Freesat. Money doesn't appear to be an issue.

  • stellastar12 stella (@stellastar12) reported

    @danwootton I know I will be hated but £159 a yr not so bad in my book. I pay for no other tv. No sky, Netflix or any other that some say you can't live without. I have 5 terrestrial channels plus freeview more than enough channels

  • FlissKitson Fliss Kitson (@FlissKitson) reported

    @alexreid1964 @_williamdoyle Yeah NOW TV 7 day free trial, cancel it right after setting it up.. bobs yer uncle. It’ll be on freeview Sky Arts channel again but probably at a ridiculous hour in the morning

  • lewysstacey Andrew Harris (@lewysstacey) reported

    @SteffApCennydd What you talking about, freeview could still continue for all the other channels all the BBC would need to do is make a sub service for its existing service as the BBC, they already have the iPlayer set up it's relatively easy to change that to a sub service.

  • SteffApCennydd SteffApCennydd (@SteffApCennydd) reported

    @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.

    @BBCNews the price isn't a dealbreaker, although if they stopped aggressively bullying those who own a tv but don't watch freeview, they would save a shitload of money and could afford to bring the license fee down, which would be nice

    I literally never watch Freeview. I made the mistake of switching it on and remembered how much I hate being bombarded with betting and gambling ads.
